In this episode of Revolutionizing Your Journey, host DeAndre Coke sits down with Dr. Kevin Lin, a board-certified sleep surgeon and avid traveler, to unpack the complexities of jet lag and how to travel more comfortably. They explore what happens to your body’s circadian rhythm during long-haul travel, why traveling east hits harder than going west, and how each traveler’s response to jet lag can differ. Dr. Lin shares expert advice on using melatonin, timing meals, and adjusting sleep schedules before departure. The episode delves into the role of technology, including apps like TimeShifter and light therapy, in helping to regulate your body clock across time zones.

The Psychology of Points: Mastering Behavior, Not Bonuses (Ep. 77)

This episode isn’t about earning your next big bonus or finding the hottest travel deal—it’s about the mindset that makes all of it sustainable.  DeAndre Coke shares a powerful solo session unpacking how mastering points and miles is less about tactics and more about behavior. Drawing insights from the book “The Psychology of Money” and over a decade of advising experience, he explains why understanding your habits, defining your version of “enough,” embracing optionality, and building identity-driven financial discipline can unlock not just better travel, but a better life.  If you’re ready to stop chasing and start strategizing, this one’s for you.   Key Highlights: Behavior > Bonuses: Winning with points is about patience and discipline, not just card hacks. Define “Enough”: Set intentional goals to avoid endlessly chasing bigger redemptions. Optionality = Power: Having points gives you choices—and that’s where absolute travel freedom begins. Hedonic Adaptation: The more you redeem, the more you adapt—learn to appreciate and recalibrate. Delayed Gratification: Waiting for the proper redemption often leads to the most significant wins. Diversification Matters: Don’t hoard points in one program; spread risk and gain flexibility. Self-Sabotage is Real: Overspending for bonuses or never redeeming points are behavioral pitfalls. Identity Drives Action: Seeing yourself as a savvy strategist helps you naturally make better decisions. Quiet Accumulation Pays: Consistent, smart habits lead to long-term travel wealth. Points as Practice: This is more than travel—it’s training for financial self-mastery.   Resources: Book a Free 30 minute points & miles consultation Start here to learn how to unlock nearly free travel Sign up for our newsletter!
