This episode is sponsored by SmartTravel, a new podcast from NerdWallet. You know that one friend who always finds the best travel deals, picks the right cards, and somehow ends up in first class for the price of coach? SmartTravel is like that friend, but in podcast form. They cover all things finance, like how to book busy season trips without the busy season sticker shock, which airport lounges are worth it and which are basically free Wi-Fi [chuckles] and chairs, how travel advisors can snag secret perks you don't even know to ask for, and how to get real value from points, not just a tiny reward at checkout. The nerds at NerdWallet know this stuff better than me, and that's why I feel great about recommending the SmartTravel podcast. After all, we nerds have to stick together.

Summer is here in California, and it's time for me to go back to Quince and order some summer shorts. Quince European linen pants and shirts are also perfect for a warm weather upgrade to add to your rotation, starting at just $34. Their tees are soft and easy to wear, and their lightweight cotton sweaters are perfect for cooler summer nights. I just hit checkout on a pair of clubhouse golf shorts, which I think will be good for traveling, and I don't even golf. Quince also goes way beyond clothing. They have custom upholstered sofas, ceramic cookware, premium bedding. They work directly with ethical factories
