  • Sometimes the only Podcast I listen to. I never miss a single episode.

    I envision a world where everyone is happier, wiser, and more prosperous, a truly wonderful place to live. By following @RBIPodcast, we learn from David how to lead a more honest and purposeful life. Ultimately, I believe the question I’ll reflect on in the end is: Did I make a difference? Was my life impactful in a meaningful way? I’m here so that on that day I can hopefully say yes 🙌

    Good luck to all Fools everywhere

  • Rule Breaker, indeed!

    Is there another podcast host with the confidence to just hand the mic over to someone else and let that person interview them?? The return of former Motley Fool podcast host Chris Hill was a delightful surprise. More importantly, it led to a deep, nuanced, and thoughtful conversation about David Gardner's approach to investing. I've preordered the book and look forward to reading it.

  • Not bad but a tad too much religious

    Decent show but can drag on a bit. The host and many guests do pepper in a bit too much religion.
