  • No more Jon Moynihan types please!

    Love the show and presenter’s dynamic. But guest Moynihan (Thatcher favourite) was allowed to spout low regulation & low taxes propaganda for super posh rich like him. I’d hoped you guys would challenge him. No more political guests please.

  • Very down to earth

    Great down to earth show about finances, feels like the language is very representative of my age and situation (30 with a kid, currently building an emergency fund). Makes me realise how simple it is to get started. Different speakers help get new views on similar subjects which is great! You’ve covered long and mid term wealth, maybe a shot at short term wealth would be a good mixup to the show
