Miles, points, what it means, how to earn, what you get feat. Jordan Agolli of TeenPodcast.com

September 07, 2014

This episode takes a step back to walk you through what miles and points mean, how you earn them, and what you can get in return.


I invite Jordan Agolli, host of the Teenage Entrepreneur podcast to talk about his travel aspirations as well as helping him clearly understand this world of frequent flier miles and points.


Shout Out: Quality Thrives’ Indiegogo Campaign.

Imagine a world where success wasn’t focused around financial gain, but instead, dedication and work ethic. Where status was based around effort, honesty, and one’s ability to produce quality rather than output quantity.


Quality Thrives aims to document the passion, struggle, and dedication of 250 everyday entrepreneurs across America by conducting unique, documentary-style interviews. In doing so, we hope to start a conversation about the value of effort and authenticity, and the need for more honest, genuine content distribution on the web.


Support their indiegogo campaign to help them raise $4,000 by September 16, 2014 by going to www.travelhackingpodcast.com/qualitythrives

In today’s episode, I have with me a featured guest who hosts the Teenage Entrepreneur and is already an accomplished entrepreneur himself, having started and sold a business all before he’s reached 19 years old.


Jordan Agolli is also very passionate in karate and his travel aspirations include visiting Thailand, where he wants to go to a world renown karate studio.



We discuss about his past travels and how it has influenced his personal development throughout his entrepreneurial journey.


Quotable: “The training starts when you feel the pain.”

And we take a deep dive about the world of frequent flier miles and points. What it means, how to earn miles with multipliers, what you can redeem with miles are just some of the things we touch upon.


Jordan also asks a few questions regarding your credit score, which is a very crucial aspect to any travel hacker who wants to be able to successfully earn thousands of miles and points in the long term.


Enjoy the conversation with Jordan Agolli.
