What do you think about Brandon Turner leaving the podcast?

[Mike Schorah]

I just listened to the podcast and heard that he is leaving. I’m sad to see him go. He is the face of BiggerPockets and published the BiggerPockets book that sold the most copies (The Book On Real Estate Investing). Hopefully he’ll be back. What do you think? Do you think he will come back?

I really preferred the first couple years of the podcast to the last couple years. IMHO it’s turned too much to mindset and goals and system building. There are 100’s of those podcasts. I preferred the ones where investors talked about their actual experience, problems they encountered and how they over came them.  

In fact. My new favorite podcasts are the call in to David ones.  I haven’t heard one call in that related to something I was having trouble with and still they were more relevant and interesting in my opinion than the satellite view overhead episodes that have become so common. 

I get it. They have people on that they are interested in, or so they can drawn in bigger audiences and advertisers by swapping appearances. But I don’t know who gets much out of them. I assume the people at that level have already learned this stuff and most of the audience is years from that level if that’s even one of their goals to get that big.
