As a long time listener (only now reviewing) The Mad-FIentist has been around for quite some time now. He’s interviewed some of the brightest minds in the Financial Independence space. Totally worth a listen! This podcast should definitely be a tool in your learning arsenal -BG

The latest episode (2023-08-23) has an audio echo, I haven’t heard this in other MadFientist episodes.

Whenever Brandon releases a podcast episode, I know it is going to be worth a listen as he only releases the highest quality of information.

Outstanding interviews with family. Great podcast. You should have released this earlier.

This podcast used to be great but now it’s neglected. New episodes are rare and either old material reposted or sourced from other podcasts. Listen to the old episodes, but don’t hold your breath for good new material. ————————————- Original review: This Podcast feels really genuine. The tone...Read full review »

My biggest takeaway in his episode back in 2012 was how he illustrated the Risk and Reward ratio of investing between stocks and real estate as well as how much effort and skills are needed to sustain such investments.

Highly recommended. I started listening a month or two ago. I’m halfway through the episodes and can’t wait until I have to drive somewhere or walk the dog so I can listen to more! Very inspiring and completely doable!

Thanks Brandon for the great info you've shared oer the years, specially in the beginning. I found you on late 2017, and since then I've made so many changes, to the point that I have my own podcast in espanol : De Peso a Peso podcast (paused for now). I want this FI information to reach...Read full review »

I value the unique angle via Apple Podcasts · Austria · 04/11/22
I discovered FIRE through this podcast and now I’m obsessed. I work in financial services and I noticed that the services provided by my company don’t really focus on financial independence. But I think that is what most people want. They want independence so they can focus on their true purpose...Read full review »

We have followed Mad Fientist for years. Truly a game changer. We are so lucky to have Mad Fientist in our life through this podcast!

Financial Independence is an interesting topic and I love hearing all the different minds and how they got there!
K P McCarthy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
I’ve learned a few good things from this podcast. But I’ve started to cringe when I see a new episode drop. There is too much “I” and “me” that makes it feel self centered. Maybe it’s time for me to move on anyway.

This show is great because you get lots of different perspectives but it’s all built around the same goal.
JohnPE via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/21

I’m new to PODCASTS in general. This is the one so far where I had to go to the beginning and start listening and I will not stop till I run out. I have found so much great information and I love all the book recommendations. I started listening to other finance advice but none that shared so...Read full review »

If you’re into the FIRE movement, this podcast is a must listen. And be sure to check out the mad Fientist blog too! They are always bringing exceptional value to their readers and listeners. Highly recommend!
Rachelrichards92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/21
I love listening to the Mad Fientist. He is bright, honest, and seems to be doing this because he genuinely enjoys it. I love that his podcast doesn’t try to sell me a product.
Gingermama5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/21
Long time listener, first time poster. This is the only podcast I’ve ever listened to front to back. Great and diverse set of topics for anyone considering financial independence. I learned something from every episode.
Tusiime via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/21
A philosophical podcast about life, purpose and happiness. *May contain some financial advice.
Jen_Mantaray via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/25/21
I love the strategies and thought process this podcast brings!! My wife and I are in pursuit of FI and working to get there. I enjoy learning different strategies and this podcast is a great resource for that. I particularly enjoy the perspective on how FI should be for you to enjoy.

I use this podcast to stay laser focused and on Fire! Love they low key mood.

I love this podcast. It is informative and entertaining. I’m still reeling from the Roth Conversion Ladder!
Polodastar via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/20
I always tell people new to FI to listen to this podcast. So many different ways to financial independence shown on this podcast. Also the host is so kind and intelligent. I can tell he’s doing this because he cares and not for self-promotion.
Emzy14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/20
Had to turn off this episode. You had background music playing. Could not concentrate
bigfoot29! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/20
Found this podcast before I knew about the FIRE community and what a find it was! Brandon is humble and the guests can really inspire with both ideas and ways of thinking differently about life. Recommend for everyone.

Thanks Brendan for this excellent podcast. I hope it’s not too late to write a review as I only started listening all your podcasts recently. I wish that I’ve listened your podcast and read your articles a bit earlier, like in my mid 20s. Nevertheless, I’m catching up all your older podcasts....Read full review »
Wejingg via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/02/20
One of the few podcasts which discuss personal finance and frugality with umilify, honesty and no nonsense. Few episodes when there is something meaningful to say rather than others’ as many as possible to be sure advertisers are happy. Also appreciated the format which doesn’t constantly...Read full review »

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Great interviews and financial ideas explained in an easy to understand way!
D Geppi via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/07/20
The Mad Fientist interviews the most interesting characters in the FI/RE space and asks interesting and to the point questions. A great way to get soaked in the ambient and see all the alternatives one has in all stages of the FI journey.
donembutido via Apple Podcasts · Argentina · 07/27/20
Mad Fientist, I love your podcast! I’m a doctor navigating the path to FI and the nuances associated with identity, purpose and life in general after FI. Happy to be along for the ride. Thank you!

I've learned an absolute ton from the Mad Fienstist. He's willing to go into hard core topics that most podcasts don't touch.Read full review »

Thank you for all of the valuable information and encouragement on my FI journey. I am very grateful for all that I have learned from you and your guests. New episode soon, please?
zubbuga via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/20
Mad Fientist is awesome. He interviews some of the best in personal finance. He is super chill and open minded. He is a little dry and can be monotone, but that’s just his style. Other podcasts are more eccentric than this one. Overall, it has great info and great guests featured.
Jake Svoboda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/20
Mad Fientist is the best!
APKOOMAR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/20
I only have 1 criticism... we want more episodes! Brandon, give the people what they want haha!
Cali To The Crowd fitness via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/20
beginning the/my FI journey and starting from the beginning of your podcasts, i can say: thanks! this episode as well as your others are awesome. i’ve abandoned all other podcast. thanks again for this medium, bbrown
rustyb2d via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/20
What a great series of interviews by people who have “won the game”, including the interviewer himself. If you were to only just follow a fraction of the advice given here by these successful people, the majority of us should be able live better lives.
Pastrychica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/20
I have always really enjoyed your perspective and podcasts. I have to tell you, this Monday’s episode on Corona was the best! As you said, people’s health and safety are far more important. But, people are also rightly afraid of the economic situation. It feels like a lot all at one time. ...Read full review »
