David, you incorrectly called Axon Enterprise “Axon Energy”. :)
Great for investing and life
02/23/2024
One of my favorite parts of investing is that it can lead one to be more interested and curious about so many areas of life. This podcast shares that same belief. Yes, there is plenty of hands-on, actionable advice on companies and finance, but David Gardner also introduces listeners to new authors, thought leaders, and ideas that can help us live more fulfilling lives.
Too long and becoming painful to listen to
08/21/2024
I used to like the Motley Fool, and I once listened to Motley Fool podcasts regularly for a few years. I found them interesting and informative. However, some episodes were painful to listen to. Let’s pretend we are 30 years in the future!!!! Rule Breaking Investing is too long, sometimes over an hour each episode. Reviewapooza! should be trimmed in half, for example. Please get to the point. I no longer listen to or read any Motley Fool content. They focus too much on speculative stocks.
Self-referential cringe
03/27/2024
I generally like the Motley Fool but this podcast is rough. Host is super long winded and self references 30 years of Motley history incessantly. Meanwhile the organization's other podcast is much better. It provides actual, concise insight on businesses, stocks, and industry trends. Skip this one and listen to that one.
Great

I didn’t think that The Motley Fool guy would be an incisive questioner of Amor Towles. I was wrong.
I have been listening to RBI since the Beginning!

David Gardner is most likely one of the best investor's of our time, and yet he continues to (pleasantly) surprise me with his many ways to keep me interested! Today's podcast about surprise endings did just that. Thanks, David!
Disappointing
07/29/2023
The recent episode about crypto was quite a disappointment. You interviewed a journalist who does not have a grasp of cryptocurrencies other than what is reported in mainstream media. The facts were incorrect. For example, Bitcoin has outperformed the S&P and Nasdaq for the 2023 calendar year. The journalist did not present a neutral perspective that outlined the positives and negatives, but rather focused only on the negatives. It was quite a disappointing episode. I expect better from a Rule Breaker. Please have a guest that has more knowledge about the content.
Best Investor of the Past 25 Years
05/26/2022
David Gardner is more than that. He's thoughtful, curious, rigorous,and occasionally silly. But his track record speaks for itself. And I can't think of another investor on his level who shares his thinking on a weekly basis like this (for years!) like him. Can't imagine anyone listening to this show and NOT becoming smarter about investing.
Emotions
05/29/2022
He doesn’t function linearly in a logical approach. Instead his approaches to life, including politicizing a shooting, is grounded in emotions and not evidence.
So long winded
05/05/2022
Not sure who specifically, but maybe David Gardner drones on endlessly with useless speechmaking that has little to do with investing that it makes what is a useful investing podcast unlistenable without fast forwarding. Right now I’m almost 10 minutes into a podcast and they have yet to discuss anything related to investing or even allowed anyone else to speak. Arghhhh!!!
