What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love this podcast. I have learned so much between the masterclass and each of these episodes. Building wealth one day at a time. It has inspired me to start a woman’s finance club in LA!

Zalavi · Nov 2025

I am actually addicted to this podcast. I’m learning so much. I love how knowledgeable Sim is but she also seems so down to earth and explains complicated topics in such a digestible way.

Maia seems like a nice and bubbly co-host but I deeply miss the in depth and knowledgeable conversation about investing that Sim had with Sonya. There seems to be a shift in the podcast and it feels like Sim has all the investing knowledge and Maia is there for comedic entertainment. When she does talk about investing, it seems as though Maia is reading off of a script and it doesn’t sound like a natural back and forth conversation. Maybe if Maia became more educated on investing in her own right or Sim brought another knowledgeable co-host on the show the spark of what this podcast once was could come back.

Elle2001! · Sep 2024

I have recommended everyone I know to listen to the first few episodes - but I especially loved the latest release about the Magnificent 7. The hosts really laid out the stats in a way that was easy to understand. When the jargon gets too dense, they break it down for us. Fantastic work!

I subscribed to one of their sponsors, Moby, based on rave recommendations by the GTI team, under the $99 promo with the assurance that I could cancel my subscription for a full refund within 30 days. The content was not what I had hoped for so I decided to cancel. First, you cannot cancel through the app or the website, you have to email customer support. Moby responded that they would cancel my subscription and issue a full refund—and they did cancel my subscription but failed to issue the refund. I have followed up THREE times by email since July 2, 2024 about my refund, received nothing but lame responses about how they were “working on it”, and have yet to receive it. Here we are in August. This product was not only a complete disappointment from a content perspective, but a total scam. Do not recommend.

I wish they could focus on discussing investing and not always mention their personal political views. It puts off half of the audience from listening.
