Aside from aspiring to be a “mountain woman” influencer, Millennial Boss is a rising superstar blogger on many fronts.

In addition to her personal finance blog (FIRE aimed at millennials), which I’ve seen a TON of people praising on Twitter and elsewhere…she also just launched the FIRE Drill Podcast w/ co-host Gwen!

She’s super bright, driven, well-spoken, a delight to speak with….and also completely unafraid to counter my own opinions live on the podcast.

When we she agreed to come on, she straight-up told me she wanted to debate me on promoting Bluehost affiliate links and placing ads on blogs. And I gotta tell you, she makes a compelling argument 🙂 Really great wisdom there.

We talk:

• How NOT being an anonymous blogger can cost you your dayjob
• “Your audience is not you” and tips for finding out what your audience craves
• A few SEO bombs towards the end
• Why you SHOULD put ads on your site
• Why Bluehost IS a solid affiliate to promote

Chris (KeepThrifty.com) had a highly lucrative and secure career…which he just quit. To blog. For a year.

This episode is a bit different, as it’s half interview, half coaching session.

We dig into

• Why you DON’T need a blog coach
• Why the FIRE model isn’t for us 😉
• Tying our identities into our work
• The circumstances to put in place BEFORE leaving your job to blog full-time
• Chris and I hash out 3, 6, and 12 month goals, and put a strategy in place.

Have you ever dreamed of quitting your job, selling your stuff, and traveling long-term? (and paying for flight ENTIRELY from travel hacking points?)

How about living and saving off of side-hustles? Getting your blog featured in multiple news outlets, including Glamour magazine?

Today’s episode was SO much fun; I got to chat with real-world friends of mine, Nate and Jess from RoundTheWorldCouple.com.

They’re amazing people (and hilarious by the way), and I’ve been fortunate to follow their journey in real-time. This includes:

• “stumbling” into local and national press coverage, driving massive traffic to their blog
• Living minimally and crushing side hustles to save up $80k+ in 18 months
• Travel hacking their way across the globe (literally. 25+ countries)
