“I just wrapped up the episode with Greg McKeown and takes a moment to speak on how books are mentors, that sentiment 100% applies for this podcast as well. The conversations Carl has with guests always display such a high level of knowledge. Carl is masterful at guiding conversations and having...”Read full review »

“Hard to put this into words … but after listening to Carl’s interviews, the sky seems bluer, the wind seems sweeter, and the sun a little brighter. He expands my mind and gives me helpful thoughts to think. I’m hooked.”

“I’m a huge fan of Carl Richards and these episodes are like dessert, a wonderful treat for sure. I love the variety in his guests and so appreciate their openness and honesty, which Carl seems to effortlessly coax out of them with his genuinely deep interest in their stories. Keep them coming!”

“As much as I ate up all of Carl’s Behavior Gap episodes for years, the long-form convos in 50 Fires nourish the soul. This show is also a master class in listening and in curiously digging deeper into what interviewees have to share.”

“If you only listen to 1 podcast, it should be 50 Fires. I could give this a 7 star review I would! 50 Fires is the most important podcast about $ because it deals with the most important part of personal finance … the personal. That’s the important stuff that helps people really improve and yet...”Read full review »

“Carl asks some great questions I’ve never heard asked before.
The conversations feel comfortable despite their novelty. My favorite aspect of this podcast is how Carl’s commentary is edited into the moments he finds most poignant to him and helps me to appreciate more some of what’s being said.”

“Carl’s content is always excellent. A true thinker. This episode is extraordinary I’ve listened twice and will listen again. I’ve never heard some one speak so clearly about her life and approach to money. Even Carl had to stop and ponder what was discussed. Great episode”

“This review is specific to How Much Money is Enough with Bryce Roberts, a venture capitalist.
This was hard to listen to as Bryce scoffs at the “poor” people (any one who can survive on $250,000 and below). So disappointing.”
