I have boarded planes before and seen this logo on the side of the freaking airplane that is

TPG the points guy and every time I look at the logo I'm like do I know that guy I'm sitting next to the guy who

somehow created a company that is now so big that your logo is on airplanes. So in this upcoming conversation we're

going to talk to Brian Kelly, the creator of the points guy, to learn the

behind the scenes, the the secret sauce the never before told story

of how he created the points guy how this went from a little side hustle that he was doing in a spare time while making $65,000 a year living in paycheck to paycheck. Right? How this went from a little side hustle blog into a behemoth with 140 employees. We're going to learn all of that.

And then we're also going to learn how to accumulate enough points that you can fly first class and eat caviar and drink

Don Perignon and take a shower at 30,000 feet. We're covering all of that in today's episode.

Welcome to the Afford Anything Podcast, the show that

understands you can afford anything but not everything. Every choice you make

carries a trade-off and that applies not just to your money but your time, your

focus, your energy, and your points.

And your points, and your points.

You can spend points on some things, but not on others.

So what choices do you make?

That's what the show is all about. I'm your host, Paula Pan, and Brian,
