I’d buy the cup!

Love the show, the insights that you bring are helpful for those who like Michael, want to do a lot of things, but put blockers in front of ourselves. Listening to the show makes me think about the importance of investing and what is happening within the company’s business to make semi informed decisions. Looking forward to future conversations next year on Fear n Greed.

Dial down the lefty

Hey guys, I love you both but please dial down the leftist overtones in your political commentary. If what you want is a propaganda podcast, then so be it. A better approach would be to maintain a neutral position on issues related to Australian politics.

Love my daily fix of Fear and agreed

I start my day with this podcast and love the updates, knowledge and humour of the presenters. I am not however enjoying the current well-being advertising that kicks in asking “keys-yes, water-bottle-yes etc”. Whilst I understand you need advertising I find this jarring and not compatible with the flow of your show.
