Dave is doing all of us a solid by getting the word out for educators on how attainable it is to become financially independent. The thing that makes this pod different is the real life people that make up the heavy majority of episodes.

Bonus: at the beginning of every episode he invites anyone who’s willing to share... more
Dave and Brandon started this podcast to share the financial stories of everyday educators for everyday educators (my opinion). Over time the mission has refined, yet the core of the show has not changed. Thank you for staying true to your roots (lower to middle class everyday people) and giving your time to help share relatable content!
Great content and it really works. Easy to understand it really works. The hard part is getting started.
I am not a teacher but I am a hard working nurse. I came across this podcast looking for inspiration on my debt free journey. It has been perfect with such powerful stories. Listening to our educators has also been such a window into their struggles.Thank you for the variety and value of each guest!
This podcast is a must-listen for teachers who want to win with their money. Anytime a new episode drops I listen the same day. I learn new things from each episode and I get inspired by the incredible stories of teachers and working class folks getting ahead. Dave and Brandon are excellent hosts and I enjoy their banter and the quality they bring to the show. Teachers, run (don’t walk) to listen to this podcast!
