Love the middle of the month episodes!

Often there’s several at the end of the month, spacing them out is pretty awesome.

Great stories

The reason for this podcast alone is inspiring...use your talent in creative ways to get out of debt. But also hearing these stories is great fun and I check back often for new installments, and whether it’s about radio DJ’ing from a campus to interviewing with hackers, I always learn something new.
