From Coding to Cabo: Following your bliss with Melanie Kiss, travel entrepreneur

Listen to the episode here.

I don’t know this with certainty, but I probably have more than one listener dreaming of starting their own business, in the mid-revenue or elsewhere. Others might be content in their current roles as CDI, coding, or mid-revenue cycle professionals, but are also looking forward to a big vacation getaway in August.

Today’s guest is living the best of both worlds.

Melanie Kiss started Chicas Abroad in 2021 with a small group of friends who shared a joint love for travel and adventure. Prior to that she had been a longtime HIM professional with stops ranging from the hospital setting to college classrooms to consulting, and even a long stint with AHIMA.

Today she’s leading worldwide curated travel. How does one go from HIM to Havanna, coding to Cebu? Listen to Off the Record as we discuss:

• Chicas Abroad: How it started and when Melanie realized it was time to go all in
• Melanie’s innovative marketing strategy (I learned a thing or two that I will adopt!)
• Entrepreneurship: Melanie’s words of wisdom and what she learned about herself while taking risks and launching a business
• Following your bliss: When do you know it’s time to pursue something new?
• The coolest place she’s ever been
• Off the beaten path experiences with difficult clients and other fun stuff. With a little HIM/coding talk, too, because this is a serious mid-revenue cycle podcast…
