Thrivelou ,

I’ve learned so much! Congrats on over 280 episodes!

Colleen is an expert interviewer and you can tell her podcasts are unscripted. Her warm welcoming manner relaxes the speakers and you hear authentic recounts of their journeys.

Ebeaton ,

practical advice, great guests

I love the emphasis here on entrepreneurs and self-made millionaires. Great, actionable advice on how entrepreneurs like me can build owner wealth. Great show!

Young Money with Tracey Bisset ,

Great host and show!

Colleen does a great job of covering different perspectives and really filling the gap with this show. There are so many shows for those trying to become millionaires and not as many for those who are. I had a great time interviewing Colleen on Young Money as she shared learnings from this show and all her great guests with my young millionaires in the making. Why not learn the keys to success from the successful? Thanks for bringing this show to us Colleen!
