Extra Pack of Peanuts Travel Podcast

Ok numbers nerds, it's time to have some fun. In this episode, we break down all the important numbers you should be looking at before you purchase a property to make sure it's a home run AND all the numbers you should be monitoring after you purchase to make sure your property is optimized to it's fullest potential.
Knowing your numbers is absolutely key to having a successful short term rental (as we learned during our "meh" period in Philly) - so whether you're someone who loves the numbers or someone who shies away from them, you've got to know them, so have a listen.

Sasha Martin discusses why she decided to dedicate over 3 years of her life to cooking a meal from every single country (all 195), reveals some of her favorite recipes, and lays down a challenge to all listeners, called #EPoPCooks. You won't want to miss this amazing story!

A.J. Jacobs is a NY Times Bestseller, editor at Esquire, and a professional human guinea pig.

A.J. takes on these personal experiments in what he calls “extreme self improvement” and documents his struggles (and successes) in his books.

Keeping life fun and exciting through these personal challenges is exactly the reason that I wanted AJ to come on the show and share his experiences with us all.

AJ talks to us today about how he started on this journey to self-experiementation (hint: it involves the Academy Awards), how his family handles some of his more extreme projects, and his newest project that you can be a part of!

We're reminded that our changes don't all have to be huge, that viewing the world from another's point of view is always a good use of time, and the ideas are the lifeblood of entrepreneaurs.

Make sure to check out the site for A.J.'s next project : GlobalFamilyReunion.com so you can help him with his next project. You and A.J. are cousins after all, and family helps out family!

Jason has built his career around one idea. Lifestyle buesiness. He's always known how he wanted to live, so he found careers and odd jobs that allowed him to do just that. Jason also travels, a lot, and gives some great advice on finding good deals on the road.

After hearing Akshay Nanavati speak onstage at the World Domination Summit 2014 for just a couple of minutes, I knew I had to find a way to get him on the podcast. Akshay's quest is so amazing, that you'll just have to listen to find out what it is. Safe to say though, it's one of the craziest I've heard yet.
