5 Questions: Analysis Paralysis, Long-Term Goals, and Credit Scores (Ep. 16)

Thomas Frank and Martin Boehme discuss productivity, personal finance, their weird llama obsession, and other interesting things. New episodes every other week.

I’ve been listening to College Info Geek for a long time, and I’ve found so much value from their podcasts. They mix humor and serious talking and quality information so well, and I always listen to their podcasts when I am doing things like commute, going through my morning routine, and more. I would 100% recommend this to anyone else out there who needs advice on crafting a better life, how to study better, and more.

Quality Content xD

This is a great podcast for idle work and stuff, like killing two birds with one stone: you work better (if you like noise while working like me) and learn a lot about working better. That’s a lot of times I said work, wow. Anyway, Martin and Thomas are really easy to listen too, and they pretty funny as well. You might’ve seen other reviews talking about how much they love the rambling. Well, it’s not all hype! I usually hate stuff like that (can’t stand watching most vlogs because of rambling), but these two know how to make their banter sound entertaining, educational, funny, and down-to-earth. Their episode about NOT pursuing your passion was really eye-opening, even if the truth was pretty scary. You guys got yourself a loyal sub! I have stacks of saved episodes for when I have lots of idle time.

Awesome!
