Customer Reviews
Best podcast ever
You guys are amazing. The advice and how you present it is so thought provoking. You have such a keen insight into things and you’re lessons and stories are inspiring. I love how authentic you are. You’ve been there and aren’t afraid to let us know and share the deep stuff. I’ve been listening for about a month now. I binge listen every day. I get so much of your episodes. I truly feel they help me strive to be a better husband and Christian. I find your words of wisdom invaluable.
Educate people, don’t advertise more products
Mediocre education and advice. Promotes services instead of giving people the mindset to take control of their decisions. Example, they promote a ridiculous service called rocket money to identify excess subscriptions people have and claim save them hundreds of dollars. Teach people to review their services and subscriptions and be financially responsible. Teach habits and mindset. Teach where to get free content and alternatives, there’s so many resources. Wake people up to the fact they shouldn’t even need a service like rocket money instead of promoting it.
Authentic and practical
I love this podcast- I try to listen to every one. It has been such an encouragement and inspiration for my marriage. I recommend it to every married couple. Although I fully believe in counseling, this is like free counseling in your ear buds. Thank you guys for all that you do!
