Long time listener. First time reviewer. Appreciate the dynamic the guests and the clear advice given in a non judgmental way. Everyone could learn something by listening.
I listen to a lot of financial planning and investing podcasts. To me, this is the best one. The reason for that is that Duncan and Ben provide practical, actionable advice on a weekly basis. Keep up the good work, gents!
Michael and Duncan form a fantastic combination. A really good mix of honest and practical financial advice - well worth a listen!
Please have Josh on every week, lol. He was on a heater today. So good!
