Thanh & Ben share their best travel hacking tips to make your next trip stress-free. Ben is a good friend of Thanh's who runs a very successful Artificial Intelligence company that has Fortune 100 clients and works with big corporations hire him from all over the world. Ben is based in Germany but he’s rarely home because he spends more time traveling all over the world. Thanh travels a lot as well, and always finds it very challenging to be productive and run a business at the same time.

They discuss how to pack light, which airlines are the best, which apps, tools and travel gadgets they recommend, and how to stay productive while you’re traveling across time zones.

We want to preface this episode by saying that Ben never does interviews or make appearances in the media. He likes to stay anonymous and stay behind the scenes, so you won't find links to his website or ways to contact him in the show notes.
