Whether you’re a business owner plotting your empire or a 9-to-5er trying to reclaim your time, this episode offers practical tips to help you design the life you want.

it would be way better if they cut out the garage.

I had high hopes for this podcast, but they run their mouths about nothing important for the majority of the shows. This is a financial show that 4 minutes are finance related content. I hope the book this guy wrote is better than his podcast and not full of all the extra garbage. Drop the BS and stick to finance or change the name to "the random useless info show"

Fun lighthearted shoe

This is not a personal finance show. It's a talk show with people who may or may not know anything about personal finance having a good time.

Get ready to not learn anything. But leave with a chuckle or two.

Waste of time

I found this podcast after seeing multiple good reviews on Reddit. I picked an episode at random to listen to on my commute. The first 25 minutes were ads, a discussion about Adam West as Batman, a long talk about fire safety, a trivia question about Dave Thomas of Wendy's, and more ads. All of this before the guest and topic of the episode are mentioned at all. It was a complete waste of time.

Awesome Podcast

If you live in the world of personal finance you know that information can get repetitive. This podcast breaks up the monotony with humor and current events. Joe and OG are cutting edge. Well worth the time to listen.
