    Informative Guests, Worthless Hosts

    Outstanding podcast!
    Iā€™ve listened to all of the podcasts to date, and have to say that this is the best podcast in the BP lineup by far. For those who are interested in business but not so much real estate, this is just a great podcast. A lot of good takeaways from entrepreneurs and great insights from both the hosts.

    Bad hosts
    The type of content has potential, but the hosts are horrible and quite annoying. The hosts LITERALLY just repeat what the interviewees say and ask the same questions over and over in the same episode. I love the topic but I canā€™t take the hosts anymore.... peace out āœŒšŸ»
  • Mark Colgan
    If you care about your business, this show is a must listen
    J and Carol bring on some fantastic guests to talk on the show. I particularly enjoyed the interview with Mike Begg about selling online, awesome episode! Thanks Carol and J!
  • klogby
    Great
    Iā€™m following and member biggerpokets. Itā€™s nice to see other businesses. Giving a broader perspective on businesses not only on thinking how to apply in realstate but what are other opportunities there that might interest me? Or how to start it? Luv the show! Overflowing of knowledge! Thank you J, Carol and biggerpockets for giving us this show!

    Entertaining, insightful and actionable! šŸ”„
    Whether youā€™re well established as an entrepreneur, or just getting started carving out a profitable niche thatā€™s ready to grow - this is a must-listen podcast for you! J and Carol do an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of building a thriving business, and life you can be proud of - with leaders whoā€™ve actually experienced success themselves. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

    100% Real World Business
    First off I want to say this is one of the best podcasts around, period, even compared to other podcast genres. The hosts and format are great. As far as business goes this is 100% the real deal. Everything presented is from experience not theory. Iā€™ve run businesses for around 15 years and I recommend this podcast to everyone starting out in business and people who have been in business but need to expand their horizons.

    Great!

    My favorite BP Podcast
    I started off just listening to the BP RE podcast with David and Brandon for about 6 months before I decided to give the other podcasts from BP a try. Now, I listen to all of the BP podcasts but the BP Business podcast is by far my favorite. I think what really makes this podcast my favorite is the hosts and the flow of the show. Carol and Jay make the show all about the guest and lead with great questions that the audience (myself) wants to know more about.

    Happy belated birthday J
    Carol and J bring it! They come prepared with every interview guest and ask the questions that I want to ask if I were speaking with that guest! A wide variety of businesses are discussed as well as varying topics within each of the businesses. With that said, I have found useful takeaways in each episode. The content is fresh and easy to listen to! I recommend this podcast to anyone looking to get into business! Isaac

    Itā€™s became my favorite BP Show!
    It took some time for me to fully embrace this show because it wasnā€™t 100% REI, but itā€™s gradually become my favor BP show! Itā€™s got me looking at everything I do, including my real estate, as a business. In doing so I can improve all aspects of my life and investments. The guests are amazing, the hosts are rock stars, the knowledge is life changing. After a kinda shaky start, this show has gained major traction and Iā€™ve been inspired more and more along the way! -Steve Live Let Thrive

    šŸ˜¬
    Hosts banter back and forth is difficult to listen to. Intro is difficult to listen to also (aka annoying). Some people have podcast/radio voices, others donā€™t. Please quit saying awesome. Sorry, I had to unsubscribe but I love bigger pockets.
  • intrinsicvaluefound

    Nice addition
    Found this as a nice addition to the bigger pockets portfolio of podcasts. Refreshing and fun. I definitely need to start outsourcing and building systems.
  • TTMaloy
    Have a hard time with Carolā€™s voice
    Iā€™m not trying to be mean but Carolā€™s voice is very loud and irritating. Iā€™m sure Itā€™s fine In real Life but it isnā€™t good for a podcast. Sorry, I love all the other podcasts but canā€™t listen to this one:(
  • LovettJacob
    My favorite podcast
    Iā€™ve been listening to Jay and Carol since they began the podcast. Among my many interests (real estate, business, finance, etc.) this podcast is my favorite. I find the format engaging, the hosts are knowledgeable and professional, driving the conversation in a very succinct manner, and pull some good quality information from the guests. I like the variety of the guests versus other podcasts that seem to be very narrowly focused. This podcasts covers anything from start ups to businesses that have withstood the test of time and then some. I always look forward to Tuesday for a weekly release and have learned a lot from listening.
  • evenflo_2001
    Great, to the point, content by a dynamic duo
    I really enjoy J and Carols interviews with informative guests from many different fields of business. Itā€™s a great listen each week.
  • aabrealtor
    Brilliant
    Really fantastic stories and practical applications for beginners and experts in business!
  • CGPlatt7
    Good, but looking for a businesses beyond profit
    Iā€™ve listened to the BP real estate podcast for a couple years so when the business podcast came out, I thought Iā€™d give it a try. After listening to several episodes, Iā€™ve thoroughly enjoyed the guests, but find the couple banter and pet names between hosts to be excessive. Furthermore, Iā€™d really like to hear about more businesses that have a triple bottom line: people, planet, profit. Some B-Corps would be great. Anyone in the green infrastructure/sustainability sector would interesting. The transition to a zero carbon economy will be the biggest challenge of this century and it would greatly benefit your listeners to hear from anyone who has worked in that space successfully.

    Earning my MBA one morning commute at a time ;)
    After hours and hours on the Bigger Pockets Real Estate Podcast, Iā€™ve recently jumped on the BP Business cast. Iā€™m now 10 episodes deep and loving the journey. J and Carol really dive in with their guests to bring out the meat and potatoes of actually running a business. Common themes from company culture, partnerships, how to get started, and most important, balancing family and business life. As a current ā€˜wantrepreneurā€™ hearing from real life folks who have been there and done that, helps to inspire as well as challenge me to keep rolling and going from one stage to the next. Also, I enjoy hearing the growth from our show hosts as their library grows. Thanks!
  • Vince Crane
    Among the best business podcasts out there!
    Inspirational to see J interview top leaders in business and have then share their stories and insights of how they made it. J does a great job engaging in conversation that gets deep with the guest and finds out what principles they follow and how they think which is really what makes them great. Itā€™s all about mindset. Big props to J and the team for creating a great show for us.

    Interview Skills
    This is a really great podcast. Carol has a bad habit of cutting speakers off or finishing their sentences. Please allow them to finish their statements. Itā€™s so rude.
  • PM in SoCal
    Fantastic
    All things BP are simply fantastic, the people and the content. Learning to love to learn. Thank you BP folks. #BPCon2019!

    Excellent Content and Entertaining Interaction
    The content has always been helpful and informative. The variety of guests has greatly added to the benefit of the show. The interaction of the hosts simply makes it a pleasure to listen to.
  • Holly S. T.
    Love it.
    I love the show but can we pot the female down some? She comes across as really loud compared to everyone else on the show.
  • mb1256
    Well Done
    All speakers have been exceptional. There is some golden advice in here that extends way past entrepreneurship. Jay and Carol play off each other nicely and drive the interview forward well. Thank you
  • sjgatti
    Love this one!
    I didnā€™t think that initially this podcast was for me as Iā€™m not a business owner. Boy, was I wrong. Listened to the Bigger Pockets Money podcast with Carol, and she was so incredibly relatable. As in, in my head, her and I are best friends. Iā€™ve gotten so many great tidbits of info that arenā€™t business related on here that itā€™s now my favorite BP podcast. Canā€™t wait to hear more from these two.
  • bikesquad
    Awesome podcast
    J and Carol are amazing interviewers. They are very good listeners and excellent hosts. You can tell they really bring out the best in their guests. Way to go!

    Making entrepreneurship accessible
    This podcast is a cool way to show all of us normal folks that entrepreneurs are just other normal folks who get moving and get things done to start and run a business. I love all of the unique stories featured on here.
  • CEWetz
    UGH
    No problem w the content but my gosh I made it only 10 minutes into a few episode bc Jayā€™s wifeā€™s voice and volume is so obnoxious. Recommend toning it down. Feels like fake excitement in your face and so grating!
  • Denesellers
    Crazy about more than Real Estate

    Great Addition/Start For The BiggerPockets Arsenal Of Podcasts
    Iā€™ve learned about J Scott when I first started listening to the BiggerPockets Team and think that he truly is an outstanding addition to the BiggerPockets Family along with his wife!!!!
  • mibrunette
    Off to a Great Start!
    I love the BP Platform! Iā€™ve listened to the REI show for a couple years and this year picked and chose my way through the Money Podcast, but Iā€™ll listen to EVERY one of these. Great job so far and loved the Surf Episode specifically!
  • Nick Dumas
    Home Run!!!
    J Scott is amazing. I have read his books, listen to many of his guess appearances on other PodCasts and seen him speak in person. The way he is able to untangle some of the most complex problems and present them with a clear and applicable meaning is brilliant. I run a small multifamily investment firm, and I am in the process of opening up a speech, ot and pt clinic. Jā€™s ideas resonate through many of our processes. Carol has also contributed a new insight, provides additional vantage points and allows the listeners digest the information from another perspective. Thanks guys. Looking forward to many more episodes!
  • Laurie6745
    AMAZING show
    J and Carol get into a nitty gritty step by step process with each guest- informative and enjoyable. Best business podcast out there!
  • Jordan Moorhead
    Best podcast on iTunes!
    If youā€™re interested in business, like I am than then this is for you. Most people listen to BiggerPockets for real estate advice but if you want to build your net worth learning about business and running your real estate investments like a business is what you must do!

    Honestly, didnā€™t learn anything from the buying and reselling podcast. Iā€™m pretty new to selling stuff online and Iā€™m already doing everything they mentioned. Pretty basic stuff.

    A Great Addition to the BP Lineup!

    Excellent Podcast!
    Iā€™ve listened to every episode of the main BiggerPockets over the years. J Scott was a top guest contributor to me and I was so excited to see this podcast. This is an excellent addition to the BiggerPockets podcast collection. The Scotts are great business minds. Great deep dives into real businesses with actionable take always. Excellent listen, canā€™t wait for the next one!
