Mafia stacy ,

Great podcast, especially for a new financial advisor

I found this podcast to be very helpful as I continue growing my practice, especially after coming from an institutional background. A couple of months ago, I started with the first episode and listened to every single one on my daily walk. Now I have to wait 2 weeks for a new one!

Relatable. Entertaining. Highly valuable.

I had never listened to a podcast before this one. As an advisor there is so much value in here. So relatable and applicable and gives voice to our craft. Thank you. But…can someone remind Kitces he is using a mic…he doesn’t need to be one. :)

GCHR! ,

Wow, get to the point!

Lots of blather.
