    Imagine having an amazing dinner guest every week!
    Immersing myself in Matt’s conversations is akin to having a special dinner guest weekly, some you know and love and some are strangers, unload the profound impact of traveling the globe in a way that is rarely discussed. Each guest provides anecdotes and lessons that are full of nuance, grit, unlearning, not knowing, bravery, and relearning. This podcast inspires me to continue to traverse the world through their lens. As a BIPOC member, I am satisfied to witness that we are out here changing the narrative, one traveler at a time. Good job, Matt!

    Amazing Show!
    I love how intentional Matt is in who he interviews as guests. It’s really refreshing to see that he elevates voices from diverse perspectives. The podcast is well produced and Matt really does his research to make sure he is asking all the right questions to get the most interesting stories from his guests. He dives into the stories, the best tips from the guests, and also keeps it fun and intriguing too with lighting questions and the casual conversational vibe. Highly recommend!

    Favorite Travel Podcast
    I was featured on Matt’s podcast a few weeks back and had one of the most amazing experiences. The podcast felt natural and just flowed. Even though he is interviewing me and I was sharing knowledge on traveling with kids. I also learned a lot from him from his travels. I also connected with like minded travelers from his other episodes that inspire me too!
  • Libryia
    Matt is EVERYONE’S friend
    Matt is such an energetic and engaging guy that each of his guests clearly becomes fast friends with him. He’s such a great interviewer mixing fun with vulnerability and even serious topics. He’s a wealth of experiences, knowledge and empathy. Love listening!

  • Tiffteetee166
    Great travel podcast!
    There are fantastic tips for networking and for business in general. Matt is way too attractive for just a regular voice podcast. He has a great voice, but needs a video podcast.

  • SheriTraxler
    Enlightening!
    This is my new favorite podcast I love travel but have always been afraid of long term immersive travel because I like to plan and know what’s coming This podcast gives tons of perspectives and tools to help me envision it Even with a spouse who is hard of hearing I believe we could do more foreign travel now
  • Candicecandela
    Fresh perspectives from interesting people
    I love this podcast! As an avid traveler, I love to hear what others in the community have to say about their unique experiences. Matt has an ability to steer the conversations in an interesting way, and I appreciate the perspectives that his guests bring. I highly recommend this show to anyone looking for engaging content that challenges norms and provides valuable insights.

    The BEST podcast host
    Listening to podcasts is not my favorite medium to consume content, but the Maverick Show is an exception. Matthew is by far the most entertaining and thoughtful host which makes for a feast for your brain. He is knowledgeable beyond measure on so many levels, lending insightful tidbits sprinkled generously throughout episodes. Furthermore - Matt brings on voices who share awe-inspiring stories, the kinds you don’t hear often, he knows how to put their story center-stage and bring out the very best in his guests. Having guested myself, I can attest that behind the scenes, Matt’s level of care and dedication to his craft is second to none - and it all makes for the only podcast I genuinely listen to EVERY TIME an episode drops. 🙏

    Intriguing Podcast
    Matt Bowles’ podcast is intellectually stimulating with wonderful guests, great conversations and compelling stories. It’s obvious that Matt cares about his guests and is invested in educating his audience with each episode. I look forward to more episodes from this digital nomad.

    Top Notch!

  • Love 80 Proof
    Always a great listen!

    Travel and real estate!
    Matt has some great knowledge and inside on all things digital nomading and investment real estate. And the guests are great fun to listen to as well! Highly recommend.
  • Fem786
    A little bit of everything!
    What I love about Matt’s podcast is that you can learn so much about different things, touching on all different kinds of topics. Matt is a thoughtful listener and an excellent interviewer who is able to connect and find vulnerablity in his guests in sincere ways that take the listener on an unexpected journey. He is able to find common ground with all the folks we are introduced, which is an essential part of traveling, especially for those who are geographically fluid and location independent. The common thread about about each of the people that Matt interviews is that guests have the courage to live in the unknown and navigate a life of constant uncertainty, filled with ups and downs often taken to extremes. But each of them brings their own skills, passions, experiences, and superpowers that anyone can learn from and be inspired by.

    Compilation Episode~
    Fascinating to listening to each persons travel experiences is an understatement. In Matt’s Compilation episode you get to hear a few minutes of 10-15 people’s (wasn’t counting) wild experiences while traveling. Some of their situations, I would never have put myself in and I’m assuming they made it out safely to tell their stories. Personally liked the Tea on the way to pyramids, the worth of a papaya, and ended with a cherished older monk who spoke no English. I would love to hear the beginning, middle and ends to many of these intriguing and brave traveler’s adventures. I’d like to learn about how they choose their destinations and if they’d go back. Kinda reminded me of PBS 80 days around the world (censored version) with the Maverick show.

    Superb content
    I never write reviews but I had to for this podcast. I very much appreciate Matt’s deeply intellectual conversations and the way he and his guests recount their travels—makes me feel like I’m right there with them! Absolutely love this podcast!!

    Very interesting content

    A colorful world tour
    The Maverick Show introduces listeners to a variety of captivating guests from diverse backgrounds, who are willing to go into depth about their unique life experiences. The conversations on this pod often take us to far flung places, as Matt’s guests usually have some experience with long term travel, so listening for an hour feels like taking a trip of your own. It is clear that Matt himself meticulously prepares for these interviews, which he shows by being eager to engage on and unpack some of the deeper social issues and personal narratives that his guests often have intertwined with their stories. In the midst of these heavier topics though, Matt always manages to set a fun and familiar tone, and leave you feeling like you were just listening to some chatting old friends. All in all The Maverick Show is a fantastic listen, and well worth your time.

  • ILL-Chay
    Don’t Sweat The Technique !
    Matt delivers incisive and enjoyable content with every podcast, seamlessly combining a plethora of topics, that, in my mind, come back to a singular goal: freedom. Freedom from financial, geographic, or geopolitical constraints. He and his guests show us the possibilities that exist in all of us when we take the risks we need to take and live the life we deserve to live. Hit the studio!

    Captivating Stories from Inspiring Global Citizens
    I started listening to the Maverick Show this year and have loved how unique and inspiring each guest Matt brings onto the show is. Matt Bowls is a natural storyteller and his positive energy radiates through the interviews. As a member of the nomad community myself, I have most enjoyed listening to episodes of friends, people I’ve met, and prominent people in the nomad community. I learned so much more about the people I already knew, and how accomplished and humble they are. Matt interviews an incredibly diverse group of humans, and each episode is engaging, heartfelt, educational, and inspirational.
  • Mayousa1
    Amazing well done show
    One of my fav podcasts! It is both entertaining and informative at the same time. I learned so much not only about different travel destinations but also about entrepreneurship. I listen to it whenever I am traveling or on my daily commute to work. Highly recommend ❤️
  • A. B. F.
    Great content, skip woke moralizing
    Interviews focused on nomad life and real estate investing are great. Likable host, strong production. Interviews focused on progressive moralizing are tedious and shallow - but easy to skip thanks to obvious tells in the titles (“BIPOC”, “privilege”, “activism”, “traveling as a ______”)
  • Richard Silver Photo
    A Must Listen to Podcast for all Traveler’s
    I listen to a number of podcasts mostly related to politics but this podcast is my go to for all of my travel related listening. Some of the most interesting people, I just want to meet and hang out with. Also, the way Matt hosts the shows are so intriguing and so well balanced. The questions are very pertinent to the subjects he’s speaking with I can’t wait for the next one.
  • R K K R

    Honest, heartwarming and inspiring!
    OMG! I just finished episode 177 with Christine Job and LOVED it! I laughed, I cried (as I recognize so much of my self in what she shared), I got inspired… So much! Love your podcasts. Your interviews are heartwarming, inspiring, and open my eyes to new possibilities. I can’t thank you enough Matt. 🙏🏾
  • santigo86
    One of the best Travel And Nomad shows out there
    Matt and his guests are truly inspirational. For long term location independent entrepreneurs or people who love travel and business this podcast is a true gem. The stories from Digital Nomads and travelers interviews on this show are amazing and highly entertaining.
  • Jordan S Carroll
    Matt is On Another Level
    Let me explain: 99% of podcasters leave sooo much on the table with their guests, and actually do them a disservice. Why? They are poorly prepared, don't ask great questions, or simply don't bring the energy to sustain an entertaining conversation. When I listen to the Maverick Show, I'm in awe because Matt brings out the FULL potential of each guest. The way he conducts his interviews are second to none. The research he does on his guests, the thoughtful questions he asks, and his summarization of learnings for the listeners create an actual experience in your ears. If you haven't listened yet, you should, and you'll notice the difference I'm talking about...
  • bestbest2021
    Inspiring and Motivational!

  • camelcrossing
    So inspiring!

    Wnderful Podcast for Those Who Wander!
    With the Maverick Show, Matt Bowles infuses his love for travel and business into one show. He interviews people who have designed their own lives around travel and/or entrepreneurship. His energy is contagious, and the guests are always interesting. This podcast is highly recommended!
  • lokdinmyhous
    Very entertaining show
    Matt does a great job of confronting conflict and social challenges with a positive "can do" attitude that inspires people who might otherwise resign to either mediocrity, or worse yet - despair. Generating multiple streams of income is one of the key ways to achieve financial freedom. Keep exploring this discussion. If enough people make behavioral change, the world will be a better place.
