When you learn tricks to optimize your time, money, and travel it sometimes feels like you are winning at life. While I love a good optimization strategy, I have found that there is nothing to optimize relationships and being human. My hope is that this episode today helps you optimize the stuff in your life getting in the way of you connecting with other humans (or even with yourself).

Our guest today is the ultimate life hacker helping others optimize their time, money, and travel. I’ve listened to stories of him begging to go to boarding school, being an undercover agent to expose a pyramid scheme, creating a company in 48-hours, and even the back story on how he convinced his wedding videographer to do his wedding for free (I guess technically it was about a $1,000). His tenacity in the face of uncertainty is inspiring and he always seems to find unique ways to bring people together from hosting concerts, to Laid Off Camp, to speaking at South by Southwest. He is a travel rewards guru but also looks at experiences differently. An example is traveling the world in 8 months when he suggested to his wife to take a one-way flight with him to South Africa, couch surf as much as possible and find interesting ways to travel between cities. After years of working in start ups and aggressively pursuing Financial Independence, he also seems to have landed as the founder and host of All the Hacks podcast. Chris Hutchins is a dad of 2 young girls, and Chief Optimizer here to share his insights. Chris, thank you so much for being here. Welcome to Ordinary Sherpa
