Customer Reviews
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PODCAST!!
Was recently introduced to this podcast and since then have binged on most of the content. So many great guests and life changing information. I’ve been learning so much about personal finance including investing, saving and paying down debt. Jamilla always asks great questions and introduces her Journeyers to knew ways of thinking. I now look forward to each week’s podcast.
Brilliant.

Journey to Launch with Jamila Souffrant is one of my 3 fav podcasts, been listening to every week for a year or so. The other two are (Motley Fool Rule Breaker Investing podcast with David Gardner) and (Rich Dad Radio podcast with Robert Kiyosaki) these are complimentary and Jamila the host of Journey to launch Podcast hits hard in the areas of insightfulness, useful advice for workers, investors, entrepreneurs, humans, Also Journey and Jamila have had a knack for getting good guests and immediately asking the guests good relevant questions. If these sound interesting to you then I recommend you to listen to Journey To Launch podcast!!
