  • Fantastic Finance Podcast!

    I enjoy this high quality finance podcast. I enjoy Andy’s perspective and how he explains his experiences that led him to him to his opinions on different financial strategies. He is a fantastic teacher and I find his information very educational. I love how he brings a Dad joke to every episode.

  • Honest concise information

    Andy does a great job providing information in a straightforward way. He has knowledge of a wide array of retirement related issues but is also very clear and honest when he doesn't have all the answers. I highly recommend.

  • Love the Podcast (and the dad jokes!)

    Andy has been one of my go to podcast as I prepare for retirement. I’m planning to retire in September of this year. Definitely recommend listening to older episodes as they provide valuable insight on all retirement subjects…financial and non-financial. I’m a DIYer but if I were to pick an advisor, it would be Andy. Keep the dad jokes coming!
