In my quest for financial freedom, I’ve explored a multitude of finance podcasts and cherry-picked the crème de la crème – the ones that truly resonate with my philosophy on personal finance and wealth building.
Now, for a little fun twist: I’ve found myself guest-starring in some of these top-tier podcasts. So, I figured, why not start there? It’s like being invited to a party and knowing at least one person in the room. Think of it as your ‘guided tour’ through my favorite finance podcasts, with yours truly as the occasional tour guide. Let’s jump into this financial fiesta, starting with a few familiar voices – including mine!
The 5 Best Personal Finance Podcasts
What can I say? Sometimes you have to start the party with a familiar face. So first on the list is my own podcast, “I Will Teach You to Be Rich”. It’s where real money meets real talk. Is this a shameless plug? Yes, but after a decade of blogging, this podcast is my way of putting theory into action with real people, real stories, and, hopefully, real impact.
Named after my New York Times-Bestselling book and the catalyst for my Netflix hit, “How to Get Rich”, this podcast is a dive into the nitty-gritty of financial challenges faced by ordinary people. No vague theories here, just genuine conversations about everyday money problems.
Episodes usually last a little over an hour each and are also posted on YouTube, so you can witness the raw emotions, the hesitant smiles, and the ‘aha’ moments as they happen. So, if you prefer to listen while doing chores or sit down with a pen and snacks in hand, there’s something for everyone here!
For those who want a taste, here are some of my favorite episodes, representing the different aspects we cover on the show. Jump into the one that speaks to you most:
Episode #121: “He wasn’t supposed to have student loans. Now he has $157k.”
Here, we tackle the beast of unexpected debt head-on. It’s a raw look at how student loans can snowball and what it really takes to navigate out of this financial quagmire. Prepare for some eye-opening insights and tough love.
Episode #120: “We have 3 kids, $1k saved, $0 invested. Is it too late for us?”
Think it’s too late to get your finances in order? Think again. This episode is all about playing financial catch-up, no matter where you’re starting from. We’re busting myths and lighting fires under seats – because it’s never too late to start.
Episode #119: “He’s not ready for marriage. So why did we buy a house together?”
Yup, the messy intersection of love and money. This episode isn’t just about financial planning – it’s about navigating the complex emotional waters of relationships and big financial decisions. Expect some real talk and hard-hitting advice.
