Episode 50 – Brad Barrett


Brad travel hacks his way to rewarding relationships

 

Brad Barrett created a blog to help share how he and his family visited Disney World for very little money by using travel rewards points earned from responsibly using credit cards. He shared it with some coworkers but word quickly spread and before he knew it, he had developed a relationship with executives in the corporate office — something that would’ve never happened had he not shared his passion for helping them learn about travel hacking as well.

In this episode, we talk about how once we’ve all reached a certain qualification level, genuine personal connections then trump all technical skills. And how anyone who feels that sharing their hobby or passion at work will be a hindrance, should know that in all likelihood it’s actually a really big positive.

Brad Barrett works as a Travel Rewards Coach and Personal Finance Expert. He is a CPA turned “travel hacker” who helps people learn how to travel for nearly free using credit card rewards points. Prior to this, he worked in public accounting and then in corporate tax for Bimbo Bakeries USA.

He graduated from University of Richmond – Robins School of Business with his Bachelor of Science in Accounting.
