Travel can feel expensive, complicated, and out of reach… especially when you’re balancing a private practice, business expenses, and real life.
But what if the money you’re already spending in your business could unlock flights, hotel stays, and even business class travel?
In this episode of Weight Inclusive Innovators, Hannah sits down with travel points enthusiast and clinician entrepreneur Yasmine Mavrakis to talk about how business owners can strategically use credit card points to travel more.
This conversation breaks down the surprisingly approachable world of travel rewards, credit card sign-up bonuses, and points strategies. From using business expenses to earn travel rewards to understanding the best timing for booking flights with points, this episode offers a practical introduction to travel hacking for clinicians and entrepreneurs.
They also talk about the mindset behind it: using resources creatively, being intentional about spending, and designing a life and business that allows more room for joy, travel, and exploration.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- How do people actually travel with points?
- Is travel hacking worth it for small business owners?
