An outstanding podcast featuring intriguing guests and offering valuable insights on a wide range of investment topics.
I really enjoy listening to this show. If you’re interested in the world of investments and want to get a grasp on current trends and the markets, this is the podcast for you.
3/5 - Guests are interesting and the host is a decent interviewer.
