  • Nothing really here

    These guys exist to grift your grandpa from some of his retirement money. Everything they purport to teach can be learned through you tube videos and other less expensive means of educational opportunities.

  • Terrible and self indulgent

    This is really one of the most annoying podcasts I’ve heard. The first half of the episode is them complaining about negative comments they’ve received. Just absurd to expect an audience to listen to what they produced here.
