Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.

Today, we continue celebrating the lead up to our 10 year anniversary later this year by interviewing another special guest, Jean-Maximilien Voisine, President and Founder of Milesopedia. A few days ago, we featured the OG in the Canadian miles and points world. Now we are featuring the OG French Canadian blogger. Since then, Milesopedia has grown to so much more, as well as offering content in French and in English. Their growth has been such an inspiration to us and pushing us to keep going. Thank you Jean-Maximilien for taking the time to answer our questions and look forward to further growth.

We continue celebrating the lead up to our 10 year anniversary later this year by interviewing a very special guest. We are honoured to feature Patrick Sojka, founder of Rewards Canada, whom we consider as the OG in the Canadian miles and points world. He is a big part of the reason why Pointshogger exists as he inspired us to start our blog to compliment his work. I am personally a huge fan of their site and continue to consult it frequently to this day. Thank you Patrick for taking the time to answer our questions today and looking forward to what you have in the works on YouTube and your Podcast!
