4.8 out of 5 stars from 3.5k ratings
  • Good pod turned profit push

    Like many others, started out great but now it feels like a push for revenue every 5 minutes. Patreon has gone from 9.99/month to 21.50/month, lol. Simone is a perma bear gold bug fresh from the academy of Wall Street Doomsdayers. Dan and Braden are level headed seeing both sides and cool to listen to.
