    Wow what a great podcast…
    An honest and insightful journey Russ takes you on as he learns and shares his successes and failures in his podcast. Russ shows how to build passive income streams using dividend paying stocks that will soon exceed his J.O.B. Income and put him on the path of financial freedom. Check out the YieldMax funds as a quicker way to FF!

    Belay my Last
    It's an absolute pleasure of a podcast. Russ, formerly a seaman on the John C. Stennis and current humble welder, will not give financial advice, but instead provide insights into the wide world of finance based on his own personal experience. Using his Cook County edumacation and many, many years of life on this earth, he will regale you with tales of gentleman's clubs, punk bands, Peewee Herman, and fun navy slang like "belay my last", among myriad other things. He wont tell you what to do with your money, only what he's doing with his. But if you so choose to borrow his conviction you'll likely be pleased with the results. He's a man of culture. A man who has read The Essays of Warren Buffet at least once and still knew Pepsico was a better investment than Coca-Cola. So please, let him come into your ear holes for at least 30-40 minutes a week and learn. Also, he has no accent. None whatsoever.

    Relatable and relevant
    Russ provides a great deal of information in layman’s terms for the average guy or gal looking to get into dividend investing, he occasionally covers a interesting dividend story such as the tylenol murder s, info on a particular stock, information on his own gains, losses and payouts. Great podcast that is fun and easy listening and I never feel like I didn’t learn something. Thank you Russ
  • facade breaker
    Informative and fun
    He is always coming in my earholes, that’s what he said, every week for 30 minutes or so. The earhole fun always leaves me wanting more.

    Helpful
    Very helpful to a novice in the investing world. Pay attention to his book recommendations.

    Great podcast
    Appreciate a view and advice about investing from a fellow blue collar worker. Love that you don’t take yourself too seriously but give out great information. Keep up the great work!!
  • moondaddy89
    Perfect for dividend growth investors
    Exactly what I was looking for: quick, 15-20min segments highlighting popular large cap DG stocks. Especially enjoy the earnings report discussion and overview of certain fundamentals included in stock screening. Recommend discussion of macro-related news/trends, then changes in stock/company outlooks, new purchases/watches, common topics to discuss in DGI, then FAQs (once fan base increases). I’m sure the wife would agree the jokes are much to be desired haha (I’m no better myself) but overall great setup! Excited for where it goes in the future.
