  • Sigh.

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, but in the last episode, I listen to about AI, Christopher went off on attention about how something in the water may be causing gender fluidity, “maybe, I don’t know.” What he’s doing is attributing something that has been happening since the dawn of time to “something in the water“ — a view that is surprisingly ignorant coming from Chris. I won’t continue to support anything that talks about queerness or gender ideology in a way that frames it as ... more

    This podcast gets better every few months. I appreciate the dedication to the craft that these men have - they constantly iterate and grow, and they do it for the love of the game. They have changed my entire perspective, outlook and strategy on personal finance.

    Gotta hand it to Chris and Saied for being able to juggle current events as it relates to all things finance, tech/AI, real estate, health, etc AND being able to keep it real with a touch of sarcasm/humor. That’s what makes this podcast one of my favorite. Keep punching above your weight boys 💪🏼

  • More MAGA Conspiracy Theory

    In a desperate bid for followers and ratings, they turned to the Joe Rogan recipe in backing the MAGA cult to gain viewership; unfortunately we now see Joe’s laments. Also, host Chris never lets his co host speak or communicate his own thoughts and views.

  • Phoenix Rising

    Fine… After Chris’s Mid Life Career Pivot, we see a refreshing version of a man no longer bound by his “fiduciary responsibilities”, like a man visited by the ghost of Christmas past. We see the transformation of a scaling corporate CEO, to a more present father/husband; an ex CEO who can see the corporate world for what it really is and what truly matters. Loving this new version of Chris, it’s like he was sprinkled with a pinch of Saied. Saied, also a great charter on the show, seeing him tran... more
