🚀 Top 50 Ways to Upgrade Your Life, Money, and Travel

​

I still cannot believe we've had 230+ episodes of the show! So here are the top 50 hacks, learnings, and lessons I've learned along the way. I share actionable strategies to level up your travel, wealth, points & miles, productivity, relationships, and so much more!

⏰ Save Time & Scale Up with An Assistant

Today’s newsletter is sponsored by… Oceans​

I am so lucky to have found my assistant Pasini through Oceans. Over the last two years she has added so much value to my life and our business that I honestly don't know where we'd be without her (you probably wouldn't be getting this newsletter every week either).

So if you need support for your business and/or life and want to find experienced and motivated talent from assistants to growth marketers to social media managers and so much more, all while saving you up to 80% of a US hire, you should absolutely check out Oceans. Or check out the 10-Step Guide to Finding, Onboarding, and Empowering Your Assistant that I wrote to share everything I've learned.
