I normally love your podcasts but how can uber one be sponsoring an episode about becoming mortgage faster? Seems very counterproductive
Don’t listen to this
Such an enjoyable and informative listen, delivered in a way that is easily digestible. I love that Nadine has an incredible amount of proven expertise in the finance space, it’s clear she really knows her stuff, but is skilled in delivering it in a way that those who don’t can understand.

There are so many better money podcasts out there, don’t know why you’d bother with this boring one
