The Clever Girls Know podcast and Clever Girls Finance make money knowledge and money action less intimidating. Learn while you listen then make use of all the amazing free tools at on the website. Bola gives deep information in an approachable way. And she is a prolific author too.

Coming from a background that didn’t have a lot of knowledge about credit cards or finance, I think this podcast serves as a great introductory for young women like myself to get that high level quick information from a podcast. Really great tool and love how this is very clear!

Practical tips and advice to consider in gaining healthier finances. Appreciate such actionable items.

Came here because I loved your book! Amazing advice and great guests

Such a gem of a podcast! Topics discussed in depth with expertise and clarity. Very useful and practical tips.

I recently got promoted to Cheif Operations Officer which came with more money and more responsibility. Knowing myself I sought this podcast to create a financial plan that would set my family up for success! How to create a financially sound plan for yourself. I felt at ease and I began working on my plan. Thank you clever girl finance for thinking about topics that the everyday woman consider when it comes to finance!

These podcasts would be so much better if you slowed down. It sounds like she’s gasping for air throughout because she’s talking too fast. The message isn’t clearly received which takes away from it and it’s obvious.

Love the topics and this podcast helps me to better understand my financial goals! Thank you!

This podcast is everything!! Bola addresses every facet of my life 🥰. I absolutely love this podcast. The best gift and gem my line sister gave me. Every question Bola ask the guest speaker speaks directly to me. I am so blessed to have this channel/inspiration/asset in my life. This community is so needed and be try well nourished. Thank you!

Imagine a podcast about money by men where they call themselves “clever boys.”

Just wish she would cut 95% of nervous laughter out of each show. I would definitely listen more if edited out…

We have an allowance based budgeting, fixed amount every month. 100% joint account, it's taken the burden of bills out of us individually. We are saving more money, funded by our joint account. My husband was not on board right away, but he is no longer in debt and he appreciates my spreadsheets 😂. I talk about it as often as we can and keep him in the loop.

Absolutely love this community and this podcast 🤍

Love Bola’s podcast because it is so down to earth, practical, and most of all love when she discusses some of the cultural experiences and biases women in the Caribbean and Africa face and how to deal with them and move on.

“Naval gazing as a superpower”. I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Very informative and so grateful for the lessons learned. Being Frugal is not my superpower.

From tips on investing to strategies for saving, Clever Girls Know is the go-to for building confidence and knowledge on all things financial freedom and wealth growth. We could not recommend this podcast more

I first listened to this podcast back in 2018 or 2019. This podcast has carried me through different journeys in life. From college, into motherhood, and now into this new season of adulthood. There has always been an episode for my every question and every financial need. The way things are explained makes it easy to understand, the encouragement, and the humor all combines to make this podcast phenomenal. I am so glad that Bola decided years ago to share her story and encourage others on their journey. There are not many podcast about money by a black woman out there of this caliber. So thank you to the clever girl finance team for all that you do and for continuing to provide your community with gems and tools to lead the financial lives we want & deserve.

Love the stories, tips, and personalities. It’s a great community to be a part of and a great space to talk and explore all things financial. I would love to hear Paula Pant from Afford Anything and/or Torri from Financial Feminist be guests on this show. These women would have awesome chemistry!

I was excited to listen to the first episode I saw which was tips on how to get out of 18k debt until the girl in the episode explained how she was married and lived of her husbands income 🙄. Of course it’s easy when you can live off of someone else’s money and use your own to pay off what you owe. It’s cute ideas for couples but the title is misleading. I won’t be listening to other episodes.

I really enjoy listening to this podcasts. It has practical tips and advice. No sugar coding, and No selling an unrealistic lifestyle. Or shaming you about bad money habits. I was looking to get a handle on my personal finances, pay debt and save money. After a year of listening I was able to pay off consumer debt, save money for an emergency and start being mindful of my purchases. Oh and my credit went up over a hundred points! Whether your looking for personal finance/ money advice, debt payment plans, or creating a new business. Clever Girl Knows talks about it all. Just signed up recently for Clever Girl Finances free courses for budgeting, saving & investing.

I’m totally loving this podcast. It’s in simple terms, very practical and so helpful. I listen to pick up tips but it’s also helpful to keep me focused on my goals and to help me stay motivated. Thank you!

I’ve spent the last 90-days listening to each episode. Several favorites but really enjoyed the career guidance topics. Bola and her guest do such a great job putting things into perspective from multiple points of view.

This is my favorite finance podcast! I’m just getting started on learning how to build wealth and manage side hustles- I’ve learned a lot from this podcast!

CGF was the foundation to understanding my finances that I didn’t know I needed. Absolutely an amazing resource. Love listening to each episode and their classes are sooo helpful! Thanks CGF for being an integral part of my “get out of debt” support group.

Thank you kindly for your knowledge and insight. It’s already helping me.

Thank you Bola for making this podcast and all of your courses on Clever Girl Finance free and accesible. This show is one of my favorite podcasts and I listen to every podcast episode!

I came across this website a few months ago and it has been a game changer. Quickly becoming one of my favorites and I am so grateful for Bola’s teaching.

I just randomly search to see if there was a podcast, since her 3rd book about starting a side hustle. I enjoy this chat so much while I was gardening. I’m definitely going to binge listen to the older shows for the rest of the summer. Thanks

This is one of the most insightful podcasts that I have ever come across! Bola does such a great job of sharing her wisdom and I love how she leads meaningful conversations with guests who bring so much experience to the table. Highly recommend checking this show out - you won’t be disappointed!

There are some really good nuggets from the interview subjects, but keep your phone close because there are plenty of ads. I also find that Bola just repeats everything her guests say, should it could be a lot shorter. Pick the episodes on a topic that really interest you and skip the rest.

I just started this podcast and I love it so much. It’s for informative and encouraging!

I love this podcast. On my journey to strengthening my finances, listening to this podcast and being a part of this community has been EXTREMELY helpful. I was never taught how to invest, save, etc. and am trying to build generational wealth. I highly recommend listening to this as it provides tactical and realistic advice.

Absolutely love Bola and her rockstar team! I read her first book and became hooked. Also utilized her free courses and am reading her second book. Love CGF!!!! 💜💜💜

Is like going to school for money. I was never taught personal finance and this podcast is my go to. Live how simple , straight forward she gives

Clever Girl Finance is chock-full of helpful insights, tools, and resources. I have a pretty good grasp on my finances and I still find gems in Laura’s focused and easy to digest episodes. I find them useful for myself and I often share individual episodes with people in my life. Thanks Laura!!

I have been listening to these podcasts once a day.... I love how short they are and engaging they are. One thing I wish is that they were more instructional like how to do xyz I often feel like I am left hearing about what a person did but not being taught how to do if I was interested in that same thing. I.e side hustle or how they paid off debt most of those podcast episodes were mainly spent on congratulating the person on the accomplishment oppose to teaching the listeners on how they did it. I listen to these podcast because they are short and I can hear it on my drive to gym. I want to be continue listener but I just had these critiques. Start teaching or instructing.... less chat and non informative information Love Clever Girl Finance!!!!

I love this podcast! I’ve subscribed because regardless of the episode’s topic I can find something helpful and relatable to me in each one. Her guests are great, everyday women that you can feel akin to. Finally a financial podcast that doesn’t just focus on money moguls and bigwigs.

Recently started listening to everything clever girl finance has offered on several different platforms! Such amazing advice and the author is very knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing everything you know!!!! 💜💜💜

I love listening to this podcast! Bola always asks in-depth questions and displays real interest in her guests. I keep coming back for nuggets of insight and helpful information.

I’m so glad I found this podcast. Bola is a woman truly loving her values, and is the embodiment of women supporting women. From making her courses free during COVID to increase how many people she can help, to hosting a podcast that provides realistic, actionable steps towards financial independence, she is truly incredible and I am grateful to her for all her efforts. I find many podcasts to be either too theoretical, hyped, or rambling. Bola offers a balanced, calm (love how everything is a “season”- makes any bad situation seem impermanent and manageable), focused, and doable approach to finance. I find myself taking notes while I listen, and looking forward to new content. Give this podcast a listen.

I enjoy this podcast but sometimes the host speaks at a low volume and it’s hard to hear.

So glad I found this podcast! It’s an amazing motivational podcast. I usually listen to it while working and it helps keep me grounded as to why I should continue grinding!

This is a great podcast for anyone wanting to sharpen their financial literacy. Personally I’m a recent college grad, and I’m still trying to figure out how to effectively manage my money. Bola’s podcast was super helpful in beginning my financial journey. I’m a firm believer of surrounding yourself with people or content that will help propel you towards your goals, and that’s what this podcast has been for me. Of course everyone’s journey looks different, but what I love about this podcast is that Bola’s relatable, uplifting, and inspiring.

Thank you for sharing and having honest conversations. I truly needed this episode, not only to get focused but also to start believing in myself more. The phrase “Little girls are to be seen and not heard” has made me silent about all the great things I’ve done in life. I’m tired of living in the shadows. Since I’m the one that placed myself there with internalizing and doubt, I know I’m the only one who can free myself, too. This is helpful on finding a voice and believing in myself. Thank you so much & I want to thank my mentor as well for giving me a link to this podcast. -A new fan ❤️

I really like this podcast, excellent and timely information. One constructive criticism would be that the guests’ sound is always way lower than the host’s. I guess that would be considered a sound mixing issue? It makes it hard to hear the guest sometimes.

I really liked this podcast. I love how she explains how she got into debt, how her mom was the bread winner at her house & how even though she got into debt she paid it off in her own time and in her own way. Can’t wait to listen to more.

I love this podcast! It’s fun, interesting, and keeps you wanting to better yourself. However, when I hear people paying off 100k + I’m like “wow! How could they afford to do that?!” And then I hear that they have a double income with a spouse and have a well paying job. The area this podcast does not address is how much are this people making to be able to afford that 100k. I would like to see podcasts with people who have 100k in debt and make only 40k a year as their starter job or working in lower paying areas.

This podcast has helped encourage me along my own journey of changing my financial life. Most recently, during this global crisis, I have found Bola to be so professional, yet so human. Her genuine care for her audience has shown through in these dark times. She has remained steady & calm, yet caring & relatable. I love her even more! I’ve referred my sister to her free resources in this time to get a jump start on changing her financial life. Thank you Bola for seeing what’s important in life!

I absolutely love listening to Bola and her guests. She breaks things down in a way to make them easily digestible without being dumbed down. Aside from that, I just admire her and enjoy her so much as a person. I started listening after searching for a finance podcast for advice and encouragement to pay off my debt, but my goals are now going so much farther than that. Start at the beginning (at least at first) and give this podcast a listen- you won’t be sorry!!

I like listening but I can't anymore. Poor sound quality. We hear every breath you take, maybe you are too close to the mic.
