Great thought leader... worth a listen
I've been a follower of Patrick for some time and his podcast thus far matches his blog in terms of providing listeners with strategies that improve investment skills, time management, and life skills. Worth a listen.
Patrick’s Pod
If you want to propel your grey matter; listen no further.
Grateful that Patrick uses his gifts to help us all get greater insights.
Smart and savvy
Listening to this podcast ranges from investing to technology to lightweight data science. It's wonky, it's intelligent, and it is not targeted at the lowest-common denominator: it doesn't talk down to the audience. I love it and it's one of the few podcasts I consume regularly.
