    Absolutely love this show! Keep em coming
  • DorieClark
    Great information!
    Sam is a terrific interviewer and provides a window into conversations you wouldn’t get anywhere else. I’ve listened to almost every episode and find the content enormously valuable. Thanks for doing this, Sam!
  • Chrismooretx
    Interesting Stories of Lifestyles of entrepreneurs
    Enjoy hearing the stories of those who created a business and specifically about how they spend and live their lives.
  • Steelwrks
    Keeps me motivated
    Living deep in the startup world and feeling myself edge closer to either true success or utter ruin is how I describe the journey and hearing from other founders with similar feelings/experiences makes me feel a hair closer to sane - or at least relatable to a smaller group of individuals. One that I hope to share a drink with over war stories. Thank you Sam!

    Interesting & Real
    Love listening to the conversations of wealthy people I normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to ever correct with. So interesting to hear all their stories
  • EllieStinnett
    Love it!
    This is a great show! I’d love to also hear about purchases these wealthy people are making and some conversation about depreciating assets versus appreciating assets.
  • Confused confusion
    I learned so much
    I have always been interested in how much money people have and how they did it. I lost a few friends from asking this. Thank you for giving us a access to dig into people ‘s financial life. Also provide a safe outlet for people who made it and want to share without sacrificing privacy.
  • Jlaw227
    Top 3 weekly podcast
    Moneywise has quickly vaulted into one of my top 3 weekly podcast listens. I love hearing each guests unique views on money, life, and happiness. It’s definitely altered my thinking on the topic. Plus it’s fun to be a little nosey and hear the details on how other people live.
  • NE Entrepreneur
    Insightful and Inspiring
    Sam Parr is Fantastic! If you enjoy the “My First Million Podcast” with Shaan Puri and Sam Parr than you will be certain to enjoy hearing more from Sam here as he interviews members of Hampton, provides insight on how some of the 1% live and provides perspective on what people do with their wealth. I enjoy Sam’s method of interviewing and relaxed approach. These are people like you and me, they’ve just reached some of their financial goals and thankfully, are willing to share their knowledge with us. Thank you Sam! Keep up the great work, and YES, PLEASE continue to make more episodes.
  • Usanana
    80% Sam fluff, 15% guest ego trip, 5% intresting content
    Sam is trying to copy the How I Built this format by constantly interrupting to explain what we’ve just heard what we’re about to hear with his nasally voiced. It’s completely unnecessary. I fail to see how this podcast will help any aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s more like McDonald’s food. Good for a quick carb high but ultimately devoid of nutrition and lacking any substantive material that will help people build businesses.
  • macmyler
    Keep going until you interview me
    I’m coming, and I need this podcast
  • JayNaoki
    Was amazing
    Money wise was one of my favorites until they added in the random guests. Sam needs to be the host.
  • Richard M3
    Ok
    Strange format. Host interrupts with tips and wacky music. Also cuts guests off. A regular Tim Ferris or Rogan interview would be better. Tough to make a podcast on one topic. Gets boring after a few episodes.
  • Avid pod listener7
    Bad hosts
    The new format with half Sam and some random guy is terrible
  • Kevin_Schouweiler
    This podcast is pure gold
    This podcast is my fav. Can’t find these conversations anywhere else with the depth and raw experiences people share about money and what new levels create. I find myself writing copious notes, refer to them often and can’t wait for each new episode to launch. It’s like being a fly on the wall with the fireside chats between others who’ve accumulated wealth, their investment advisor and their mindset coach all in one cozy warm episode. Five stars all the way on this show
  • Y.A.M. Productions
    Me = That kid flipping through the textbook, wafting each page towards his brain.
    I am not wealthy (yet) but I am vicariously living through Sam and the guests on each episode. Although my current lifestyle doesn’t line up with the guests, it’s definitely interesting and entertaining to hear how they made their wealth and the lessons they are learning from it.
  • shersartwork
    Love
    Keep them coming! I am nowhere near the income that you speak of, but I love listening to your show.
  • GWagonGracie
    Great content!
    Loving listening to these conversations. I’m in my early 30s and have been increasing my income substantially over the last 5 years and listening to this podcast has made me pause, think about my spending and reel it in to set myself up for a really successful financial future. Keep the episodes coming!
  • Lisa Vogt
    Valuable mindset discussions
    I truly appreciate these frank money discussions. I’ve learned tips for myself and actively share this info with others. Subscribe if you want to up your money game!
  • USC15JM

    Very interesting and great format!
  • Christopher Nicolaysen
    High level perspective!
    Hands down one of the best and most informative pods on the lives of top earners. The refreshing and open perspective from Sam and his guests make this pod one of my favorite pods to listen to. Highly recommend.
  • Zee2014
    Needs More Women's Perspectives!
    Let me start by saying this podcast is amazing! However, it would greatly benefit from including women's perspectives. So far, all the episodes have focused on men and their experiences. I would love to see more inclusion!
  • User74733422
    Super informative
    As someone who is in their early to mid twenties, I love listening to this show. I’m constantly learning about new perspectives and how to interpret these lifestyle changes that I will come across. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something informative as it will definitely enhance your financial education!
  • 1800D2C.com
    Awesome show
    Keep em coming boy!
  • Jstirgus
    Really Enjoy The Show
    As a young ambitious entrepreneur, it is inspiring to hear the stories of those that are wealthier than I am. It helps me dream a little more and think about how I shouldn’t limit my potential. In my circle, I don’t have exposure to the super wealthy, and with this show I appreciate learning how they earned their wealth and how they enjoy it.
  • James Michael Kordis
    Thank you bro
    Scott Galloway episode 🔥
  • KeithC86
    Enjoying and Appreciating the Podcast
    Sam - Thanks for creating the podcast. I’m in wealth management and work generally with multi-family office clients. The episodes have been an affirming message to hear from different perspectives and I’ve learn new ideas. I like the more flowy conversational style of the later episodes more than the earlier edited (kind of choppy) format. Keep them coming.
  • instygrammer99
    Where are the new episodes?!
    Started out hot but the episodes just sorta stopped…
  • Saige Jones
    Really enjoying this content!
    Really enjoying this podcast!
  • MBRO95
    Hoping we’re bringing this back!
    This has been a great listen, here’s a review in hopes that there will be more episodes from May 14th onward! Hope all is well and looking forward to new content!
  • The IC-DISC Guy
    Interesting insight into how wealthy people think about money.
    I might like this podcast as much as My First Million!
  • Lboswell
    Can I Make a Small Suggestion?
    First off, I love this podcast. I’ve learned a lot, and I really like the perspective of learning from people who have made millions, how they did it, what they spend their money on now, etc. It’s not only inspiring, but also motivating, especially as an entrepreneur myself trying to build my wealth and income. I will note that at the end of every episode, there is a blurb that goes something like, “This podcast costs a lot of money, is a lot of time, and takes a lot of work, so if you want to keep it going please subscribe…etc.” It’s just a little off putting to hear after every episode. It sounds like this podcast is more of a drag, or a chore, to the host Sam Parr, even though he has a whole team helping him produce this podcast, write scripts, etc. So, just a little advice - maybe cut that part out Sam. Your feelings are valid, I’m sure this podcast takes a lot of time, effort, and money. However, from a listeners point of view, it sounds like you don’t actually want to do this podcast and that as listeners we aren’t appreciated for supporting it. It sounds like you’re begging us to support you, knowing you make lots of money every month and can sustain this podcast with a whole crew behind you. Just my two cents. Again, love this podcast, I hope to see more episodes in the future. It’s been very inspiring, along with the other podcast you host called My First Million.
  • DM-Bali
    Great viewpoint for entrepreneurs!
    Really enjoying the podcast! It’s a great viewpoint for me as an entrepreneur
  • tsheuebs
    Great Show Episode 9
    Great perspective, one of the best shows so far. Keep up the great content.
  • geol9
    Keep making these!
    As a longtime MFM fan, and just found this in my recommended, I actually like this pod more! Great work Sam!
  • ChristopherOB
    Nothing else like it
    Surprisingly candid explanations of how entrepreneurs who have become wealthy are spending their time and money. Sam’s skill as an interviewer, sometimes coupled with anonymity for the guests, results in more detail about the specifics of wealthy lives than you’ll find anywhere else. Some guests are incredibly thoughtful about things like legacy, charity, and raising children to become happy and useful adults. Others are less so, but that does not make them less interesting. In a sea of podcasts about business and entrepreneurship, Moneywise is unique.
  • Cartev
    Super informative
    Awesome podcast. ABSOLUTELY LOVED the podcast on giving this week. So many money podcasts talk about how to get rich and nice to hear about getting rich to be able to give and help others as well! Should try and get Brandon Turner on the pod.
  • I hate this app 3
    My New Favorite Podcast
    I have been listing to My First Million for a while now but just started listening to Money Wise. It is a really interesting look at how the very wealthy spend and invest their money. It is also a good way to learn how their life has changed or not and all the problems that come with it. I hope they continue with it and drive a little more into their person life as to how they handle their spouse, dating, kids, and family members.
  • Adoration
    WOMEN PLS
    So many smart hnw women worth featuring, please include them!
  • Dancer16109
    A hidden gem
    As a growing professional, this podcast serves as my own personal wealthy mentor. The conversations are filled with gems that I’ve never had intel on before. Someone else mentioned but I, too would love to hear from some diverse peeps. Women, race etc. Love this podcast nonetheless!
  • Getting-er-done.
    Keep It Rolling.
    Thanks Sam and guests for taking the time to share and your candid transparency. Keep em coming! I will continue to share with friends and family who have worked hard, found their first level of success, and are setting their vision for what’s next.
  • Blloopyfoopywa
    Get more women on the show
    Love the content! Would love to hear more women in your show. I’m sure you can!
  • Jdaeedy
    Keep going
    Realities of retiring early…tell everyone to read “how to die with zero” totally understand financially insecurity but like you have said, don’t be afraid to spend your money, just spend it intentionally.
  • xpertcatfish
    Something New
    While listening to these podcasts I’m getting a lot of new ideas on ways to handle money. I’m not wealthy enough to use this advice, but its teaching me what I could do with my money after listening to all the other money “making” podcasts.
  • ubersucks1111
    Insightful
    Great job Sam. I exited a few years ago and I’m still trying to figure out my new life. You and your guest have very insightful info.
  • RetiredFounder
    Rare content- thanks!
    Thanks for doing this show. Almost all content about wealth is how to get it, not how people actually use it. Appreciate the authenticity and openness of the conversations.
  • Hehshejwhe
    Love this podcast
    Love this podcast the guest are amazing don’t have to have millions to learn a lot from these guys. Can’t wait for merch to come out!!
