Customer Reviews
I always learn something new!
And the information is delivered in a very approachable way - thank you!
Phenomenal. Thank you!
Without a single stock tip, this podcast has helped me improve my portfolio’s performance dramatically. I started listening for the policy updates, but now I’m thinking more critically about my investments, taxes and overall strategy. As a 30 year old who’s trying to figure out retirement accounts, I’d love to hear an episode on retirement planning, ETF diversification and tax considerations as well!
Sensible, rational information without hype
Thanks for consistently delivering valuable and thoughtful content with respect and good humor. It is a first class podcast!
