  • For the People!

    Dave and Brandon started this podcast to share the financial stories of everyday educators for everyday educators (my opinion). Over time the mission has refined, yet the core of the show has not changed. Thank you for staying true to your roots (lower to middle class everyday people) and giving your time to help share relatable content!

  • Top Rate for Teachers

    This podcast is a must-listen for teachers who want to win with their money. Anytime a new episode drops I listen the same day. I learn new things from each episode and I get inspired by the incredible stories of teachers and working class folks getting ahead. Dave and Brandon are excellent hosts and I enjoy their banter and the quality they bring to the show. Teachers, run (don’t walk) to listen to this podcast!
