This podcast is a wonderful blend of education and entertainment. Brad and Jonathan ask insightful and intelligent questions while at the same time make you feel like it’s just a casual conversation among friends. It took me several months to listen to the 100+ episodes but well worth my time. I...Read full review »

Great for someone looking to shore up their finances and ideally start actually getting in the game. In the last episode, however, the host started harping on people for trying to game credit card rewards points. It seemed odd until I realized the show is compensated by at least a handful of...Read full review »

I have been listening to ChooseFI for about 2-3 years now. This podcast truly has some eye opening content for folks taking the 1st step towards living a more meaningful life aka attaining financial independence. Content varies from FI 101 like index investing, expense tracking, have a higher...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to this podcast for almost a year now. The host and guest speakers are always honest and helpful to the community. I’ve never felt so driven to getting off the hamster wheel and choosing financial independence.

I discovered ChooseFI during my senior year of college, and have since listened to every single episode. This podcast is the bedrock of my family's financial structure. Brad (and previously Jonathan) break down concepts, discuss its applicability in your life, and always leave actionable tips...Read full review »

Host overshadows all guests. It’s frustrating to listen to. It’s like listening to one of your friends figure out something simple out loud. If the host ever gets replaced, I’ll be back as a listener.

This podcast has changed my life. I went back to episode 1 and began consuming everything both Brad and Jonathan have said. Then I came across episode 10 when Jonathan took on the challenge to lose 30 pounds in three months before his sons birth. Well after hearing that something clicked in my...Read full review »

I’ve been an avid listener since the beginning, and I could not be more enthusiastic about ChooseFI. The absolute stars of the show though has to be (originally) the charisma of Brad and Jonathon and more lately Brad pulling the show by himself. I have seen a lot of podcasts run out of material...Read full review »

I started listening to this show at least four years ago and got off to a slow start. As a woman, I was a little skeptical at first about a two dudes telling me my money business. But I’d drop in and listen every now and again and Brad and Jonathan grew on me over time, as I realized they are not...Read full review »

For someone who thought he had it mostly figured out, I was introduced to MMM in 2020 which soon led to ChooseFI and changed my life forever. I have since listened to every podcast as well as a handful of recommended books which has unlocked a new reality that highlights the true opportunity...Read full review »

The ChooseFI podcast offers invaluable tips in an easy to understand way that I put into practice even though we are only about 10 years from retirement. My favorite tip to date was starting a Roth IRA for my son when he got his first part time job and watching as he maxes it out each year since...Read full review »

Basically anything they cover, is good. And it’s definitely not always about money, just about living a good life :)
Memememeeeeeeeeeeer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/23
I’m new to the concepts of FI, and really just started listening a few years ago. This podcast is always on my list of downloads, and I love the constant stream of action items Brad offers. My only recommendation, is to be a sponge and soak up all the information this podcast provides. The fire...Read full review »
FI w/Wine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
I can’t really thank Brad enough for these weekly podcasts. The information passed on helped me save a lot of money and put me on the path to FI. He covers the topics that you need to hear and also covers the topics that you ema him about. I sent him an email few weeks back and he took time to...Read full review »

Been a follower from the early days and I’ve found the information to be both inspirational and ACTIONABLE. Thank you Brad for all you do for the community!

Last Thanksgiving, your podcast became my road-trip companion, guiding me from North Carolina to Disney World and back. By the time I returned, I had devised a comprehensive strategy to transform my financial life. Fast forward nine months, and I'm thrilled to report the plan has been a...Read full review »

Having Ginger join the pod as a semi-regular cohost was a great move. I love the dynamic between the two, especially when Ginger’s counseling background shines through, and it’s great to hear a woman’s perspective in a field that’s still pretty heavily male. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Brad on being chosen to be included on the Dexa site!! OMG I never heard of Dexa and already love it I typed in HELOC and 3 different episodes popped up about it - Hallelujah!! Thank you for all you do
Women are Waking Up via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/23
I’ve listened to almost every episode, &amp; this is one of my favorite financial podcasts along with Afford Anything by Paula Pant. Brad is a true professional, is articulate, and discusses interesting topics. It’s difficult to listen to most of the other financial podcasts as they tend to...Read full review »

Very interested in the topic but the host dominants the conversation incessantly (particularly with female guests). Would like to learn more but prefer a back/forth exchange of information - fewer monologues, ideally.
Jolynne Smyth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
This podcast will change your life! Brad presents well rounded information applicable to everyone. I listen to this podcast every week.

This show helped me reduce my spending increase my yearly savings by about ~20%. There is so much fantastic advice and now I am on a path to healthy spending and retirement
Kenitaly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/23
Brad is honest and responsive to his listeners, making this the greatest crowdsourced finance podcast. He’s building a new format with his co-host transitioning and it’s still hitting important topics and covering details that money nerds want to know.
Spades13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
I’ve been listening to the ChooseFI podcast for a while now and I’m constantly impressed by the knowledge and insights shared by Brad.

The ChooseFI podcast and website are a treasure trove of all things FI. The information can be truly life changing.
Mountains and Pine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/23
I feel as if I don’t have as many opportunities to listen to podcasts as others so I only get to listen to a few each week. I feel like I need to be selective and alternate, however this is the one I make sure I do listen to each week.
Isaac-Heather via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
You can just tell Brad is an intelligent and good dude, and the enthusiasm he brings is contagious. We need more people like this touting the game-changing possibilities of FI and the optimism it can bring. Choose FI manages to toe the line between dogma and too in the weeds. This show has...Read full review »

Lengthy chatting not substantive enough

I loved episode 436 especially because the listener is an immigrant who just started his FI journey and I resonated with many aspects of his journey because I am a Caribbean immigrant, solo income, on my FI journey as well. Very inspiring episode and I realize I’m over analyzing in taking action...Read full review »

I was already at FI when I came across podcast this but wanted to write a review to keep boosting it. These are all the principles that I wish I had learned when I was 16. I would have reached FI so much sooner and made far fewer mistakes in the financial realm. Every person in their teens or...Read full review »

Brad, Jonathan, and ChooseFI have done more for my financial life than I could ever express.

Wow!!! Learned much from this to start investing as a young man
John20001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
Great topics for all age groups. It is a life style change that is smart and engaging . I like that real life stories are used to help learn how to achieve FI .
drpetec via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
There are some nuggets to pull out every now and then, but I can’t take all of the non-stop rambling, the meandering tangents, and beating the simple points to death. I’ve made it through a few dozen episodes, but I’m moving on to more informative pastures.
Jeff G. Colorado via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/23
This podcast has continued to surprise and amaze me. It has quickly become my go to.. After last episode with Chris Terrel I had to write review. It was insanely fun , practical and useful. Inspired more family time and connections. PRICELESS 🙏
Lgrubaugh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/23
Great show for the FI and wanna be FI crowds! Wide range of guests and topics. Should be your primary source for FI podcasts. My first listen every Monday.

Many ads. Very drawn out.

Sadly, none of this was ever...Read full review »

Johathan did hold Brad back when you compare the prior episodes to him now solo. He used to dominate the microphone and with Brad solo he is able to get more in rhythm. It’s tough for Brad generally because we know so much about him and there isn’t a lot of stories left for him to tell and how...Read full review »
