I really enjoy this podcast. I just started listening 3 months ago. But, it's been a staple of my podcast library ever since. Though not every single episode applies to me personally, the general ideas are powerful and compelling and convicting. I'm on my way to FI.Thanks guys.

CHASE c/o 2010

This podcast has made a bigger positive impact on my life and it’s trajectory than any other one piece of content I’ve ever consumed. I stumbled upon this podcast in July when it was recommended in a Facebook group and since then I have gone back and listened to every single episode in order. The way Brad and Johnathan present the content is both captivating and relatable. I’ve come into many episodes with no background in what is being discussed but always leave with a good understanding and a want to learn more. The hosts will never say “this is the one thing you need to do” or “follow this path or else you arnt a part of this group” instead they will present you with a plethora of options that will allow you to choose how you want to optimize your life and grow financially and as a person. 6 months after beginning with this podcast I am taking the active approach to improving my financial life and becoming a better human being in many aspects. I have and will continue to incorporate the lessons that I’ve learned from Choose FI as a volunteer financial coach to my unit in the Marine Corps as well. I have found my tribe in Choose FI and the community they have fostered and I couldn’t be more happy to spread the FIRE!
