Very insightful

Tim Smith is one of the best in the business and each podcast gives insights into running business, not focused solely on real estate! He does a great job! Worth the listen.

I consume quite a few podcasts and for context my favorite is Tim Ferriss. My first Tim Ferris podcast was Jocko in April of 2014. I was hooked. The first and only RUHM podcast I have listened to so far was with Jeff Moorad. It was so good I am again hooked. The cadence of a podcast matters to me, and Tim Smith does a masterful job of guiding the listener through. He pulled on a few themes and let his guests story telling shine. Went in expecting a 3/10 from another mortgage or real estate guy and came out with a very unexpected 10/10. Can’t wait to listen to more.
