Summary

My favorite part of recording this podcast is being exposed to new and different worlds in the online space, and this week’s guest - Yan Stavisski - is introducing us to the fascinating world of travel hacking and credit hacking, the practice of leveraging credit to produce positive cashflow.  Yan went from drowning in $82,000 of credit card debt just 3 years ago to running a 7 figure company by the age of 25. He did this all while traveling 47 countries and getting nearly $500,000 worth of first class flights and travel perks for free. Yan shares some really interesting insights with us today, but I want to preface our conversation by reminding you that nothing in this episode should be taken as legal financial advice from Yan or myself as a prescription for what you should do. This is simply Yan sharing his own story and his unique experiences. As with all financial strategies, there is risk and personal responsibility involved.  My hope is this episode encourages you to think outside the box and familiarize yourself with the concept of how leverage can be used to grow a business (whether through credit, investing, ads, or whatever vehicle you choose). Listen in to hear the number one skill all successful entrepreneurs must develop, how to travel for free, and the common mistakes business owners make when applying for and using credit, as well the best ways to leverage it for access to capital and growth.
