- Bias to ETFs and disregards other asset classes
Since this podcast is affiliated with Pearler, there is a clear conflict of interest and bias towards ETFs/shares. Suggesting ETFs outperforms a well selected property is laughable, even when considering purchasing and holding costs.

Great podcast, easy to understand and presented in a way that’s relatable for everyone at some part of their investing journey. Can get some real life wisdom from these two blokes compared to other “podcast mates” that just waffle on.

I look forward to new episodes as I love the topics discussed on investments and how easy it is for me to understand. I’m a makeup artist so you can imagine that finance is not really my thing, and I didn’t even think of investing or FIRE until I saw Dave on tv once and thought it was amazing. Hayden has a very reassuring and smooth voice , easy on the ears . What a pleasure - thank you.
