4.4 out of 5 stars from 26 ratings
  • Wish it was longer than 26 minutes

    I listen to Bob on a regular basis. His questions are spot on and go to the heart of the topic he is covering. His hope of each show providing actionable information at a personal level is true for my retirement journey. My main complaint is that the show is not long enough.
