The Journey is the Reward started out to be a show about obtaining 3 Million Mile status with United Airlines in less than 18 months. It was about the journey in achieving these miles and United 1K status for life. However, now that Brian has achieved the 3 Million Mile goal, in 13 months, the show has morphed a bit into a travel show. Sure, he is still documenting his quest for 4 Million Miles and lifetime Global Services status but he and Micah cover so much more. So come travel the world with Brian as he attempts to reach yet another milestone and talkes with travel subject matter experts.

Episode 107: Momma Coleman Returns to NJ

On Episode 107 of The Journey Is The Reward, we once again get to talk with Momma Coleman, thanks to the limo services provided by Chef Kathy. Sure, it doesn’t sound right at this point but it will make sense as you listen to the episode. But before we get to the main event, Listener Matt has a follow-on question to my packing skills.

Listener Lu wants to know about the $100 hamburger, as it relates to flight. Although calling it a $300 hamburger is probably more accurate these days.

Then it’s time for the main segment, Brian’s trip to NJ to surprise Momma Coleman on her 90th birthday and Mother’s Day.

Yes, Momma Coleman had done a reverse commute from living in Florida and returned to her birth state to be closer to her oldest son. Brian decided he couldn’t stay away and had to help her unpack.

Chef Kathy was there to help… and provide an incredible 90th Birthday carrot cake.

We then get to learn all about Brian’s 9 hour delay getting back home to Los Angeles. However, as far as delays go, this one worked out OK for our intrepid traveler.

As always, we're serenaded by the soul-stirring sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs were recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia and are pure magic.

Experience this musical magic in person and join Brian on an epic group adventure to Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa in late September 2025! Reach out to him at ⁠Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.ORG⁠ for all the details. Let's make some memories and enjoy the Journey as it is the Reward!
