  • Learn to love it

    I began listening to rpr 4 years ago, initially the sound bites were annoying but the information and facts given are excellent. I grew to love sound bites. If you’re patient you’ll learn a wealth of information. Frank does this without any sponsors but out of his passion to teach others. I believe if you truly want to retire with the ability and confidence to spend money in retirement without your portfolio going broke then you’ll learn you can do it with this podcast. Five stars!!!

  • Life changing

    Frank has a unique way of cutting through the noise—his 'beating of the drum' on evidence-based investing is exactly what I need to stay disciplined. More than just a podcast, it has given me the confidence to know that we’re going to be okay in retirement. In following and implementing much of his advice, I can’t thank Frank enough for the clarity and peace of mind he’s brought to our financial future.

  • The Best Investing Podcast

    I’ve been listening to personal finance/investing podcasts for nearly 20 years, and this is one of my all time favorites. This is not your usual total stock market/total bond market chatter. It’s about real evidence-based multi asset class portfolios for those who want to minimize sequence of return risk and have higher safe withdrawal rates.

  • Good ideas, poor execution

    At the end, I will tell you better podcasts to learn from instead.

    Frank’s ideas are interesting.

    But his choice of podcast structure (yes, the sound effects) tells me he is more interested in tickling his own funny bone than educating people.

    Just like his behavior on social media tells me he’s more interested in stroking his ego by being rude to people than he is in helping/educating people.

    It’s a shame.

    If you want real education, go here instead:
