Great show, very useful information and great advice. Benjamin is a common sense no frills professional. I Highly recommend this podcast.

I look forward to Ben’s podcast weekly. Very informative and educational. A vital resource for my retirement journey!

Ben does a great job of educating his audience on both financial and non-financial retirement topics. His podcast has helped me plan for and make better financial and tax decisions. His podcasts on finding your purpose in retirement have really helped me to focus on what’s important at this stage in life. Ben’s podcasts are full of valuable information - give them a listen!

Fine you want me to keep scrolling fine with me stay in Canada I'm moving on

Benjamin recorded a personal response to our financial situation and we found it very helpful. This is a huge undertaking and shows that he loves what he does and cares about his listeners. This guy is a trusted source for financial information. Thank you Benjamin!!!

The perfect RMD episode isn’t advice you will hear everywhere. This is a solid podcast for every level of listener looking at retirement.

I always look forward to Monday morning to get a new episode. They are concise that cover a variety of topics and have ‘just the right’ amount of nerdiness.

Do a background check on him. Check his bet with Bilzerian. He could have used that money for a good cause.

Good job as always always great and useful information

The show is data driven while taking human tendencies into consideration. Generally geared to those nearing or in retirement who are financially prepared. Keep up the good work!

There are several really good retirement podcasts, but I feel that Benjamin’s is the best of the lot. Every episode is chock full of actionable information and education. Add to it the consistent, easily digestible structure, and dash of unique humor, the Retirement Starts Today podcast delivers on every level. Thanks, Benjamin!!

I have been listening to Benjamin’s podcast for several years and have recommended it to several other family and friends. There are several things I enjoy about his program, including his philosophy, content, communications style, and personality. PHILOSOPHY- I think Benjamin provides a nice balance of building/maintaining wealth and spending/enjoying retirement. He comes across as very common sense and not too academic. CONTENT - he chooses content which is meaningful and practical for his audience. He doesn’t overload on guests, but the ones he has are well worth it. STYLE and PERSONALITY - As mentioned in Philosophy point above, Ben seems to be practical and not overly academic. He covers academic topics in a very relatable fashion. Ben has a “midwestern” personality… friendly, down to earth, but very informative. Overall, I highly recommend this and his other podcast.

Helpful and informative, and the little movie title joke intros are clever.

Thank you for the informative and easy to understand subject matter . I appreciate your efforts and am grateful for your podcast

Good content, concisely delivered, but I despise your voice-acted interstitials. They are truly cringe-worthy.

I love that this podcast is just a quick review of a topic and then a listener question. As a plus, Brett, who comes on to help answer a listener question, sounds like Adam Carolla.

Hi Benjamin, I just listened to episode 300, and it was just perfect! I saved and planned for retirement. I just recently retired, knowing that I have more than enough to allow me the splurges I was reluctant to take while working. This episode was perfect to get me into that mindset, and will heed your wise advice. Thanks so much for your excellent podcast!!

I have been listening to this podcast weekly for 2 years. I find the topics to be interesting and informative. I like the shift to the non financial aspects of retirement. Keep up the good work.

Benjamin hits so many different retirement topics that others fail to talk about! I always look forward to his next podcast.

Benjamin does a wonderful job addressing pertinent topics for retirees who are also DIY investors. His communication style is very easy to listen to and learn from. Thanks Benjamin for your contribution to the retirement community!

Love the down to earth information and advice you provide. As a fiduciary financial advisor, I tend to agree with most all your viewpoints as well as learn new things. I wish you continued success on this and your other podcast with the CPA. Job well done! Also, thanks for the book, it was great!

While there seems to be a thousand retirement advice podcasts, this one stands out. Drops early every Monday and is about 15 minutes. He tackles one point and some listener questions. Therefore, you really get the point I look forward to this podcast each and every week. Give it a try!

This is one of my favorite retirement planning/navigation podcasts. The length is better (shorter than most others), with succinct tips and things to think about. Newsletter is also helpful and saves the trouble of tracking them down.

This is one of my favorite retirement podcasts. The information is always interesting, usually useful to me personally, and the length is perfect. I can absorb, digest, and apply what I learn and am not overwhelmed by a flood of words. I never miss an episode. Highly recommended!

This podcast gives great easy to understand practical information in a very interesting in plain speaking manner.

I really enjoy this podcast. I am fully retired and my husband will retire in a few years. Every show provides super helpful and interesting discussions. I listen the day it posts every week now.

Very good weekly show. Benjamin presents valuable personal finance information in a non abrasive or judgemental manner. I like the compact 20 minute allocation. Hour long shows tend to meander. Benjamin has a pleasing radio voice that also adds to the experience -a calming affect. He kind of reminds me of the Michal Prince character on Billions.

Over the last couple years I’ve kept listening to this show. Upbeat and relatively short, it’s very helpful and also enjoyable. Thank you

Ben is a great host and wealth of knowledge! Highly recommend the listen!

I really look forward to this podcast among the group of retirement related podcasts that I regularly listen to. Benjamin has a straight forward delivery of great information without seeming to be subtly steering you to a paid group like some other podcasts. Of course he is using the podcast to grow his advisory business. Nothing wrong with that. The way he presents information is clear and upfront and helpful. No hard sell or scare tactics to motivate you. I am not a customer of his but if I was looking for an advisor I’d look for someone like Benjamin.

Excellent job with the show notes. It’s hard to capture and retain everything said in the podcast so the notes and background are very much appreciated!

Benjamin knows his stuff - and his audience. I look forward each week to listening and learning. The pod is reliable, timely, and one comes away with the clear impression that the host is an honest broker of information that will help guide you toward smarter financial decision making.

Practical thoughtful help for about the to be and newly retired. I’m a do it yourself investor and I so appreciate Benjamin sharing his knowledge and ways he thinks about retirement topics. Love that he covers topics from the news and listener questions.

This podcast is great if you’re nearing retirement (or have already retired). In a focused 20 minutes, Benjamin talks about the news of the day and will go deeper on a particular topic as he answers listener questions. He never tries to sell you anything and offers relevant, independent knowledge.

I’m excited that Benjamin is is doing deep dive series. I’m especially happy with the series on Medicare with Danielle Roberts. I can’t wait for the next three episodes.

Benjamin is one of my favorite retirement podcasters. He knows the difference between accumulation and distribution.

I really like this podcast, it doesn’t waste time on too much talk. He has a subject, sometimes with a guest and usually gives you all in pertinent information within 30 minutes. I also like when he answers listener questions. Mark S.

I recently stumbled across this amazing podcast and it’s one of my favorites! The episodes and contents are very informative. I especially love that Benjamin addresses users questions as I can relate to the user real life questions/situations. Highly recommend!

This podcast efficiently covers many topics with useful info and includes links to additional resources in the very well written show notes.

Very helpful and easy to follow advice, thanks,

The self described humble host is just that...and very much on point and informative. One of the best yet underrated podcasts in this “space”. Great content...

Just found this podcast and have really enjoyed it. No fluff, plenty of substance. Thank you Benjamin!

Benjamin provides great information - one of my favorite financial planning podcast

A lot of valuable information

Listen to this podcast if you want to feel like you have your own personal financial expert talking just to you. You don’t have to listen long to understand that Benjamin feels a connection to his listeners and has a special dedication to educating. I sent in a listener question that was probably too specific to make the podcast. Benjamin still took the time away from his business and his family to send me a personal response to my question even though it wasn’t going to make it on the air . There was nothing to be gained by Benjamin except the personal satisfaction of helping someone. Now that’s dedication to your audience and your mission!!! Keep up the great work! ~MS from PA

I have learned so much listening to Benjamin’s podcast. He is knowledgeable, interesting, genuine, and easy to understand. I’m grateful for his expertise and the variety of topics he covers. When I submitted a listener question, he responded on-air promptly and thoroughly. I hope that one day he will do daily podcasts. I’m looking forward to learning so much more through Benjamin’s future podcasts!

Love the show. Clear presentation of topics and material. A pleasure to listen to!

Whether you’re just starting out on your retirement journey, looking to level up your investing game or just want to broaden your mindset around wealth creation - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Benjamin does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of creating (and sustaining!) a retirement that matches your values. Each conversation is empowering, easy to dive into and levels you up no matter where you are in your journey. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

Benjamin does a really good job breaking down concepts and guidelines with a simple easy to understand manner. Sometimes Benjamin goes over a lot of numbers and figures in his podcast which I like, but some may get lost and fast forward through that portion. Benjamin voice is very monotonous...can you say “Bueller”! You can truly tell he wants to help and make a positive difference in the listener’s financial life. Keep up the good work. Thx, M

I enjoy listening to Benjamin’s podcast. He provides straightforward information in an easy to understand manner. Appreciate his answers to listener questions. Very good podcast!
