  • Great podcast!

    Been listening to this podcast over the past 10 years and have really enjoyed it. These recent podcasts released on the topic of the alleged daycare fraud have been a bit puzzling because Joshua is using unproven claims from a journalist without sources to support his existing beliefs related to social welfare programs. While Joshua has valuable insights for how to live a rich and meaningful life, it appears he’s opting into accepting the alleged daycare fraud as truth while nothing has been pro... more

  • Fantastic podcast

    Joshua has a great show with timely advice and eternal wisdom. I’ve been listening for many years and have greatly benefited from his advice. Whether it is financial, insurance related or even homeschooling and teaching children to learn other languages.

    Joshua is rare in that he is willing to share where he thinks he could have done better in his journey and does that humility.

    Joshua’s critics are mostly critical of his conservative Christian worldview. If you don’t agree with conservative o... more

  • Love it

    This is my favorite podcast that I follow. Joshua is brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable on so many different topics. He has been very influential for me in many ways, but particularly in homeschooling. He’s so interesting to listen to and I’m beyond grateful for all of the amazing content he keeps putting out. You don’t hear many of these ideas anywhere else and that’s what I love about this podcast. It’s always fresh, original, and fascinating.
