Powerful stories

I am not a teacher but I am a hard working nurse. I came across this podcast looking for inspiration on my debt free journey. It has been perfect with such powerful stories. Listening to our educators has also been such a window into their struggles.Thank you for the variety and value of each guest!

Top Rate for Teachers

This podcast is a must-listen for teachers who want to win with their money. Anytime a new episode drops I listen the same day. I learn new things from each episode and I get inspired by the incredible stories of teachers and working class folks getting ahead. Dave and Brandon are excellent hosts and I enjoy their banter and the quality they bring to the show. Teachers, run (don’t walk) to listen to this podcast!

I think every teacher should listen to this podcast. Every week I learn something new. Dave and Brandon are amazing and real facilitators to all their guests and listeners. I just played a podcast to my seniors in high school about college debt…..it had fantastic information and it was great to hear the resulting conversations. Thank you Dave and Brandon!!!!!
