Customer Reviews
Super helpful for beginners to finance
I started out pretty clueless about finance and investing and this pod was a great start. I appreciate a combination of longer and short form content.
I would like to see another step up of technical explanations of how an individual would go about evaluating markets, funds, indices etc. and resources for people to take that next step. After listening to 100 odd episodes there is some repetition.
I’d listen to a few episodes of Greg unleashed just talking about finance for an hour!
Listen if you want to be bored…
I’ll admit Ryan has some ‘satisfactory’ insights and is probably pretty good at his job, but my god there’s no excitement or engagement from him and his guests. He doesn’t make any effort to really engage with what his guests are saying. Also after listening to a few episodes it’s pretty clear he doesn’t have a definitive style instead he just adapts his personality to his guests. Be who you are and stop adapting- take Mike Hosking, he’s the same across board. That principle needs to be applied to Ryan.
Really wanted to like this podcast, but it’s a No from me.
Love Episode 231
In a time of govt causing division, episode 231 is a great analysis of the human psyche. Loved this, raw, frank, to the point episode
