About the episode:

I know you may have read the title for this podcast episode – How to Travel the World for Free – and thought that it’s impossible or maybe even feels a little like a scam? But I’m here today to tell you that it’s totally possible, and it’s something my husband and I do often! I’m so excited to have Zac Hood, founder of Travel Freely, on the show today to share how you can utilize credit card miles and/or points to not only travel for free, but uplevel how you travel, where you stay, and the activities you get to enjoy. Zac is also an introvert and shares how this has been a superpower for him as he’s developed his website and app. You’ll really enjoy this episode and will probably be ready to plan your next trip (for free)!   

Topics discussed:

  • The reminder that there’s always room for your unique approach for the services you provide and that even as an underdog, you can be successful 
  • Finding power and confidence through finding peace within the relationship you have with yourself
  • How Zac’s experience playing travel tennis and coaching was the catalyst for his interest in credit card points and eventually Travel Freely
  • Why a lean business model works so well for Zac and why, as an introvert, he chooses to have a small team and use a website and app rather than 1:1 coaching 
  • Getting comfortable with knowing that your business isn’t for everybody and how this knowledge can lead to more success
  • Some of Zac and Catherine’s travels that have been free and what they loved about them

About Zac:

Zac and his wife Virginia live in Denver, CO and have been traveling for free for over 10 years. Zac’s approach to free travel has earned free flights (and often free hotels) in South Africa, Greece, France, Italy, Iceland, and more. Helping people to accomplish their travel dreams for free was the inspiration for Travel Freely.

A Guide to Navigating Career Transitions as an Empath

If you’ve been tuning into the podcast recently, you’ve likely noticed that I’ve been doing things a little bit differently. I have been sharing some of my most favorite and powerful tools, frameworks, and coaching distinctions that I use with my clients and myself as I’ve been sitting with the despair, grief, and fear of what’s going on in my own country and cultures around the world. This week is no different – I want to share what can support you in a changing and unpredictable job market and periods of transition in your career, whether you’re at a place of wanting to finally leave the nine to five and pursue your own entrepreneurial dream, whether you have been laid off in this current job market, whether you’ve been fired, or whether you’ve chosen to see yourself out. These tools and exercises that I’m sharing with you today have been some of the most impactful for my clients in navigating periods of transition in the job market with intentionality, with purposefulness and with integrity. I hope you find today’s episode not only useful but as a tool to bring you a bit of peace and direction.
