    Jul 17 2025

  • Travel the World for Free: How Tim Walker Uses Credit Card Points to Fund Dream Vacations
    Jul 15 2025

    Dreaming of travel but think you can’t afford it?

    For many families, vacations feel like a luxury—something you squeeze in when the bills are paid and life slows down. But what if you could turn your everyday spending into free flights, five-star resorts, and international adventures?

    That’s exactly what Tim Walker did.

    Living in one of the poorest communities in Pennsylvania, Tim hit his breaking point—struggling with compassion fatigue, raising a family, and unable to afford rest or memories. Then he discovered travel hacking, and everything changed.

    In this episode, Tim shares how he went from scraping by to flying business class to Europe, staying at $1,500-a-night resorts for free, and helping others do the same.

    You'll learn how his system turns gas, groceries, and bills into luxurious travel—without going into debt or living beyond your means.

    Key Takeaways:

    • How Tim earned 1.2 million travel points in 9 months (and now over 4 million!)

    • The Double Multiplier method to maximize point earnings and redemptions

    • Why cash back is the worst strategy for travel lovers

    • What a $25,000 Europe trip looks like when done entirely with points

    • Common myths about travel hacking—and how to avoid them

    • Why Tim teaches others to travel more, spend less, and live free

    About the Guest:

    Tim Walker is the founder of Travel Multiplier, where he helps people unlock the life-changing power of Travel Hacking to explore the world for free. His passion for free travel was born out of personal struggle—years of living and working in Wilkes-Barre, PA, one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods, where he invested deeply in urban transformation and walked alongside people overcoming homelessness, addiction, incarceration, and more.

    While those years were rich in purpose, they were financially and emotionally draining. Unable to afford travel, his family often lacked the restoration they needed—until he discovered Travel Hacking. Since then, he’s earned over 3 million travel points, taken his family around the world for free, and helped countless others do the same.

    Now, through Travel Multiplier, he’s on a mission to help others—especially those who’ve felt travel was out of reach—learn how to turn everyday spending into unforgettable adventures. Because when you know how to hack the system, travel isn’t a luxury—it’s accessible to everyone.

    4. What is a tool that you use every day that you would recommend? “Kajabi for my coaching platform… and ChatGPT—especially custom GPTs I’ve trained as ‘employees’ in my business.”

  • From Zero to Side Hustle Samurai: How Bart Merrell Built Multiple Income Streams Without a Day Job
    Jun 26 2025

    Stuck in a 9-to-5 and wondering how to escape the grind?

    You’re not alone and today's guest proves there's another way.

    Meet Bart Merrell, the Side Hustle Samurai.

    He never had a "real job" and built a thriving lifestyle by stacking creative side hustles from DJing high school dances to launching a dog training business and even monetizing his own amputation story (yes, really).

    In this episode, Bart reveals exactly how he finds profitable ideas in everyday life and teaches you how to do the same. Whether you're itching to leave your job or just want more freedom and security, Bart's mindset and method will help you discover income streams hiding in plain sight.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why picking the wrong side hustle is the #1 mistake most people make

    • The 6-list process Bart uses to identify your ideal income stream

    • How he turned dog training into a $100K+ business with no prior experience

    • What losing his leg taught him about monetizing even the hardest moments

    • How to spot your “acres of diamonds” (aka opportunities right under your nose)

    • Why multiple streams of income = real freedom and peace of mind

    About the Guest:

    He has never had a real job – and believes you don’t need one either.

    In the small dusty podunk farming community of Animas, New Mexico (two hundred plus people), his high school friends needed entertainment. So, at age fifteen, Bart created his own mobile DJ company. He started with a four-year-old Sanyo all-in-one stereo system – complete with eight track player – and began organizing weekend dances. He rented the community center, hired an off duty sheriff’s deputy, his mom and dad took money at the door and Bart spun records.

    He continued to add to his system until it sported a light tree, Peavey SP1 subwoofers, SP3 mids and tweeters tri-amped with five thousand watts of power. You are probably laughing at this, but it was a rockin’ system in its day.

    And it was a rockin’ dance business, which he grew (adding consistently to his professional sound and lighting system) into a viable enterprise which ultimately helped him through college. He then sold the business and moved forward to his next business adventure.

    Fast Five Questions

    1. If you woke up and your business was gone, you have $500, a laptop, a place to live, and food, what would you do first? “I would be aware of the opportunities around me... I speak fluent Japanese. We could start a Japanese conversation class just like that.”

    2. What is the biggest mistake that you have made in business? “I discovered a Topgolf-style driving range in Japan in 1994... I didn’t take action because the number of zeros scared me. I could’ve been first to bring it to the U.S.”

    3. What is a book that you would recommend? “Monetize Your Mindset — my book on how to think differently, not what to do also anything by Gary Vee. His approach to the thank-you economy and content creation has inspired me.”

    4. What is a tool that you use every day that you would recommend? “Go High Level. It runs the backend of my business—it’s powerful and scalable.”

    5. What is your definition of freedom? “Doing what I want, when I want to. Or in my mentor’s words—living life on your own terms.”
