Lots of travel news to cover this week, and we've also got some timely tips to make sure you're earning the most miles and points you can, whether you're sitting on the couch or on a beach far away. Jon Nickel-D-Andrea joins us co-host for news this week. The biggest travel news of the week was the US announcing that all passengers arriving on an international flight will be required present a negative test result for COVID-19 taken within 72 hours of their flight to the US.

Alaska Airlines has announced they're adding another elite tier for loyal customers who accrue 100,000 miles per year with the airline.

It'll only takes a few seconds. That helps us grow our audience!

In this episode we interview Mike LaRosa, founder of Coworkaholic, co-working expert, and a professional who has traveled the world working in various roles from design to operations, staffing/recruitment and marketing. We dive into his journey and discuss the ins and outs of entrepreneurship and the "9 to 5" lifestyle. Find out more about Mike LaRosa @coworkaholic on instagram and coworkaholic.com. The books mentioned during the podcast were The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, and Stillness is the Key. Questions or comments about the podcast? Email contact@benjamin-ritter.com

Mike LaRosa is the Publisher and Coworkaholic in Chief. Self-diagnosed as coworking obsessed since 2013, his love of shared workspaces has taken him to over 500 spaces in 35+ countries around the world. To pay the bills, he's a partner at AgoraRDM, a real estate development and management consulting firm. In his spare time, he produces the Miles to Go and Boarding Area podcasts. Back in January 2018, Mike gave a talk at Nomad Summit. The original title was: Coworking – Accelerated Serendipity, Motivation, and Community. The intention was to provide attendees something different from the more instructional presentations of HOW to run a business as a digital nomad - you can watch it here on YouTube. What Mike didn’t realize at the time was that he was actually providing tips, tricks and instructions on what NOT to do. Just by using his real-life as an example. This wasn’t the biggest audience Mike had spoken in front of, but it was the first time he’d be telling a story, rather than presenting industry trends or data. That story ended up becoming “How Coworking Saved My Life”. Since then, I’ve heard from many people letting me know how they finally decided to go to a coworking space. And, how coworking really did help them, whether it be personally or professionally.
