Money Guy Show

Brian Preston is a CFP with over two decades in wealth management, and his co-host Bo Hanson brings a complementary perspective as someone who came to financial planning from a different career path. Together, they have built the Money Guy Show into one of the most practical investing and personal finance podcasts available, with over 1,200 episodes and a loyal following. The show's signature approach is taking complex financial concepts and turning them into specific, actionable steps tied to your age, income level, and goals. Their Financial Order of Operations framework -- a step-by-step guide for where each dollar should go -- has become widely referenced in the personal finance community. Recent episodes have ranked states by wealth-building difficulty, broken down the five different types of FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early), and featured a real couple's financial situation in their Making a Millionaire segment. That segment is particularly useful for beginners because it shows how real people with real incomes and real debt navigate financial decisions. Brian and Bo have genuine chemistry and a sense of humor, but they never lose sight of the fact that they are talking about people's actual money and futures. The production values are high -- this started as a YouTube show and the audio version retains that polished, well-structured feel.
