Absolutely love listening to this podcast. Both James and Brandon are extremely knowledgeable and I look forward to anytime they drop an episode!
I’ve been listening to 15 Minutes of Finance for a while now and it’s easily one of my favorite podcasts. James and Brandon have a way of making finance feel approachable without dumbing it down. They break things down so clearly, and I always walk away with something I can actually use in my own financial life.
On top of the podcast, I also work with them directly as a CPA and financial advisor team, and I can honestly say they’re the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve tried other firms in the p... more
There is a ton of trash tax advice that goes viral on social media these days. If you want to have some fun learning about tax saving opportunities while getting quality, ethical information, Brandon is great. Highly recommend!
Great podcast, easily digestible, it is refreshing to hear industry insights and breakdowns in a way that the “Finance World” would not transparently tell you or tell you at all. Thanks so much! This has been very helpful to me. Invest early, invest often ; )
This is a great listen for me most mornings to learn something new, keep up with what’s going on, and stay inspired to save early, save often!

Notable angles include tax- and estate-planning clarity for broad audiences, the economics of fees and fiduciary considerations, and niche topics like digital nomad finances and space/economy investment themes that broaden t... more
