  • Great podcast

    I’ve always enjoyed listening to Dave - anyone who has achieved what he has, at his age, is worth paying attention to. Was sad when his previous podcast stopped so this was a welcome addition to the library. Hayden’s depth of knowledge across multiple topics, delivered clearly and sensibly, makes for a top weekly drop. I especially like the format - feels like you’re listening in to a couple of mates working through financial scenarios realtime.
