Never Miss an Episode

Such a terrific show that I never miss. I love the way they break down questions of all different complexities with empathy and practical advice. Ben provides terrific insight and when it’s an area he doesn’t feel as comfortable he doesn’t hesitate to bring in experts who know more. Ben and Duncan have a great interaction and it makes the show exceedingly enjoyable for someone who likes personal finance and investing.

One of my favorite podcast streams

Always great information from hosts and guests, and the folks at The Compound & Animal Spirits are all pretty funny in their own ways. The conversational nature of the episodes and often hilarious banter between Josh, Michael, Ben, and Duncan make it one of my favorite shows. I’d wager hanging out with them would be a blast.
