Customer Reviews
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.
Loving this podcast
A friend of mine suggested this podcast and I’m hooked! Planned on listening to one and have already binge listened to six. Looking forward to listening to the rest!
