Rule Breaker Investing - Podcast Rankings and reviews

The host of the podcast (David) is genuinely interested in helping his listeners. The more you listen to the podcast, the more obvious it becomes. Yes, he started the Motley Fool and he talks about his company from time to time. It is a obvious that he is proud of The Fool (and he should be), but at no time have I ever felt pressured to purchase the services his company offers. There is not any sales pitches or high pressure talk at all. This Podcast is just about enriching the listeners lives. Their is obviously a lot of investing talks and topics, which are highly informative, but so much more. Games games games comes to mind along with having authors on that give great life advice! If you are new to investing or if you have been doing it for 30+years this is a great podcast to listen to every week!!

One of my favorite parts of investing is that it can lead one to be more interested and curious about so many areas of life. This podcast shares that same belief. Yes, there is plenty of hands-on, actionable advice on companies and finance, but David Gardner also introduces listeners to new authors, thought leaders, and ideas that can help us live more fulfilling lives.

"The Year The Market Skyrocketed" was a brilliant bookend to the episode from 2 years ago, "The Day The Market Crashed". David Gardner's straightforward principles of investing make him one of the great investors of the past 25 years. His podcast is a weekly gift for any investor smart enough to take it.

David Gardner is more than that. He's thoughtful, curious, rigorous,and occasionally silly. But his track record speaks for itself. And I can't think of another investor on his level who shares his thinking on a weekly basis like this (for years!) like him. Can't imagine anyone listening to this show and NOT becoming smarter about investing.

I generally like the Motley Fool but this podcast is rough. Host is super long winded and self references 30 years of Motley history incessantly. Meanwhile the organization's other podcast is much better. It provides actual, concise insight on businesses, stocks, and industry trends. Skip this one and listen to that one.

The recent episode about crypto was quite a disappointment. You interviewed a journalist who does not have a grasp of cryptocurrencies other than what is reported in mainstream media. The facts were incorrect. For example, Bitcoin has outperformed the S&P and Nasdaq for the 2023 calendar year. The journalist did not present a neutral perspective that outlined the positives and negatives, but rather focused only on the negatives. It was quite a disappointing episode. I expect better from a Rule Breaker. Please have a guest that has more knowledge about the content.
