I’m really enjoying this podcast - even as an avid FI podcast listener, the alternative to the 4% rule was new ground where I learned a lot and I will definitely be passing this idea onto my family and friends. Thanks!

I really appreciate Mark’s casual (yet specific and well-informed) style. Feels like I’m listening to a conversation with a wise, wealthy, encouraging uncle. I listen right away when a new episode drops and always learn something new or gain greater confidence that I’m using a sound financial...Read full review »

This podcast is fantastic - I love several of the podcasts in the FI community but Mark adds a much needed breakdown of financial basics and walks through the logic behind go-to FI strategies that is great for those who have just discovered FI and those who are refining their financial...Read full review »

Great show I like your thoughtful insights on all things FI, Not only on money but the community building and mindset stuff as well. I’ve been to 2 FI events that you’ve been at Camp FI RM and Fintalks cruise and at both you’ve been very generous with your time sharing your knowledge doing case...Read full review »

I’m really enjoying Mark’s new podcast. I have always liked listening to him on other podcasts being a guest or a host. Mark is a great story teller and interviewer. He knows what to ask because he’s been there. Congratulations on a great show Mark!

Mark has a wealth of financial information and does a great job sharing it in simple terms in a very approachable manner. He explains things in terms that anyone can understand whether they are just starting to learn about money and investing or are a pro. He comes across as someone that...Read full review »

I am enjoying the practical suggestions around organizing my saving and spending. I enjoyed meeting Mark and the recent EconoMe conference and look forward to more great content in the future, both in person and on the podcast.

Already a fan of Mark from hearing him on many other podcasts in the FIRE space, and also from meeting him at Camp FI. He’s so good at seeing some complex things and explaining them in a simple way.

Looking forward to keeping Mark’s Money Mind in my podcast rotation. Episode 1 resonated with me and gave new motivation on how I am approaching FI.

Happy to see Mark has his own show! He’s always been one of my favorite regular guests on other shows. I love his demeanor and he just comes off as a genuinely good person that wants to teach others. Looking forward to more episodes!

Mark, I’m a fellow Coloradan (Monument) and love your insight. Heard you on numerous other podcasts and super glad you are doing your own. Recently retired at 60 and looking forward to your future shows!

I met Mark at Econome a couple of years ago and we’ve kept in touch since then. He brings lots of experience and expertise to the table. The show is well paced, informative, and has memorable stories. Highly recommended!

My friend Mark is truly one of the most down to earth person who genuinely wants to help others. He did CFP certification just for fun and his hobby in finance. I have listened to the first episode and it’s great. I am wishing him all the best. RK

A great podcast. I listen to so many podcasts about finances and often zone out here and there with repetitive information. I heard about this new podcast and found the detailed information, yet relaxed presentation to be engrossing. The personal stories of thought, change, progression, and...Read full review »

I’ve been fortunate to attended Camp FI in Minneapolis when Mark has been in attendance, at each weekend event I’ve been amazed at the insight I’ve gained on how to approach my future by listening and asking Mark questions. Mark is a true teacher and I’ve instituted many of his suggestions. I am...Read full review »

Mark Troutman got his CFP later in life but he is not a practicing financial planner, taking on clients. He seems to have gotten this certification (which isn’t easy) as reflection of his passion for personal finance and a love of learning. He has a very good, conversational style and approach to...Read full review »

I first heard Mark as an interviewee or co-host on other financial podcasts. I was interested to learn of his plan to launch his own podcast, and the first episode did not disappoint. I am a middle aged husband and father of 3 and see great potential in applying Mark’s insights to my own life...Read full review »

I’ve heard Mark on other podcasts and when I saw he started his own it was an immediate follow from me! Mark is very enjoyable to listen to and is knowledgeable about the material. I highly recommend!

From high school to late starters, Mark is THE personal finance educator. His experience, life’s ups and downs and Financial Independence wisdom is some of the best there is. This podcast must listen for everyone!

Mark is a Force of FI! His story is inspirational. His wisdom is almost boundless. This podcast is born of his passion for financial literacy. Frankly, it is long overdue. Mark has a lot to share.
