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 their big trip 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 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...
