Customer Reviews
Great for investing and life
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.
Self-referential cringe
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.
