Customer Reviews
Very thoughtful presentation
I listen to A LOT of finance podcasts and this is one of my favorites. T Bill is incredibly knowledgeable and wise and can present his expertise in a down to earth, understandable way. I love how he ties current geopolitical events and basic (and advanced!) finance principles all together so that we, as listeners, can have a better understanding of all that is going on.
My only suggestion is that he allows for listeners to write in with questions!
