  • All the ads

    Great (albeit repetitive) content that is immediately applicable. Mired by numerous ad breaks featuring the same ad reads over, and over, and over

  • Turns ”Adulting” into a game

    Navigating the responsibilities of adulthood can be overwhelming and confusing. Do you have a will? Maybe you need a trust? Is your retirement on track? Which bank account is best? How do you pick a cellphone plan?

    Chris manages to turn many of these grown up duties from anxiety inducing chores into games of strategy. Games I now feel I can win. I’m hooked.

  • Love Show with just one item of note

    Love Chris’s podcast with just one minor note. Chris way overuses the term “rabbit hole” to the point that it is almost like when someone says repeatedly “you know” in a conversation - a verbal tic that gets annoying after a while. Chris please see if you can go one episode without saying “rabbit hole” multiple times. Other than that, have learned a lot from your show - keep it going.
