A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I was very interested in your comments about spoiling our children with influence. We raised our two children in a relatively affluent environment that they never really became spoiled, although many of our friends thought they would. I believe we accomplished this by continuing to remind them of how fortunate they were to have the benefits of our wealth and constantly remind them of how many people were less fortunate, and that it was in their part an obligation to help those less fortunate. Noblesse Oblige. Also to remind them that our wealth was not their wealth, and they had to make their own way in the world. They are now they’re late 30s and so far it has worked out well. Ross

Love the new frequency and content. One suggestion though, when you present graphics please describe in more details for those of us who listen only to the podcast.

One of the best shows of its type. Does not deal with the technical sides of investing and finance, but on the psychology of it and how it affects our decision making and our daily lives, and more. I look forward to every podcast and one of the few podcasts I go back and listen to past ones. Just very insightful.

Morgan is the master of applicable, timely, & poignant storytelling. I not only consider him to be a role model to me, but all. Don’t miss a single episode.
