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 110 : A Conversation With Captain Stephen Ivey

Welcome to Episode 110 of The Journey Is the Reward! This week, Brian and Micah have a great show lined up for you, featuring an insightful interview Micah recorded with our good friend, Steven Ivey, a corporate pilot, plus a few other interesting tidbits.

First up, Listener Sarah wrote in asking about the show’s updated introduction where Brian mentions flying over 6 million miles. She wants to know how that's possible when he is still just a bit over 3 million with United. And Brian is excited to finally pull back the curtain and share the full story behind that!

Then, listener Lu wants our take on United's new check-in cutoff times. You might be surprised to hear that Micah and Brian have slightly different opinions on this one, so get ready for a lively discussion.

After that, the guys dive into some fascinating statistics about you, our amazing listeners! Brian shares details on how many of you there are, your age brackets, geographic locations, and the platforms you use to tune in and he’ll also reveal the most popular episodes. It's awesome to see that Chef Kathy's episode is still in the top 10, though she's got some ground to cover to catch up with Captain Jeff!

And as always, our show is bookended by the truly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded live from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

Want to experience that magic in person? Join Brian on an epic group adventure to Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa in late September 2025! Seriously, it's going to be an incredible experience. Reach out to him at Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.ORG for all the details. Let's make some memories and genuinely enjoy the Journey, because, well, it is the Reward!
