Getting Out of Collections + Travel Hacking Clinical Trials with Gio Ramirez | Ep 13

(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)

Today's featured guest is Gio Ramirez from @hella_points_bro. 

Gio is a first-generation Filipino American, born and raised in the Bay Area and currently residing in San Antonio Texas. He's run more than 25 marathons and has taken part in some incredibly creative ways to generate side hustle income and points and miles, including being a test subject in clinical trials. 

In today's episode, Gio and I discuss how to get out of trouble with Collections, if you find yourself in that situation, and how exactly does payment, miles and points, or pretty much anything else logistically work when you're a clinical trial test subject for days or weeks at a time.
