  • Spending Money as a Reflection of Identity

    Loved how this episode reframed wealth through the lens of intention and identity — spending isn’t just transaction, it’s expression. You reminded listeners that money, properly aligned with values, becomes a tool for legacy, clarity, and elevated living. Insightful, grounded, and deeply human.

  • Great interviews, great podcasts

    One of my new faves. Ritholtz is a talented interviewer and has great guests. I love how it’s not just about finance but goes into the guest’s life and often writing/style/career. Wish I wound this earlier but the silver lining is I have a bunch of pending content to consume!

  • Morgan Housel episode 2025

    Generally like the show. Depending on guest, some good tidbits to be learned. However, was thrown off by Barry and guest Morgan Housel quoting a passage in Morgan’s book along the lines of “If you [the reader] are a good dad, a good husband,…” then that’s enough for you to earn people’s respect. As it is, so much of personal finance skews male, let’s please not so thoughtlessly [because I don’t believe Morgan had ill intent here] and gratuitously leave out the women. Every subtle cue that women ... more

  • Very interesting podcast. the host, Barry, is very knowledgeable but also a very good interviewer and a good listener.

    One drawback is that way too much time is spent in the beginning talking about career paths of guests. That can be covered in 2-3 mimutes max, but it takes 15 - 20 minutes.

    It is very fashionable these days to have long intro about guest's lifestory, but the reality is nobody cares about it. Everyone wants to jump to the content sooner.

    Overall, highly reccomend.

  • Resilience in Strategy, Not Speculation

    Loved this episode. What stood out was how the barbell strategy isn’t just a financial framework—it’s a metaphor for leadership: play safe at your core, stretch at the edges. That balance builds durability and upside. Thanks for framing investing not just for returns — but for resilience.
