My Top 5 Most Downloaded Podcast Episodes

As I approach 50 episodes of The Thought Card Podcast, I wanted to highlight some of the incredible guests I’ve had on the show and reflect on the episodes that many have enjoyed. The Thought Card Podcast is an affordable travel and personal finance podcast empowering financially savvy travelers to make more informed financial decisions. On the show, I focus the conversation on three key pillars – affording travel, paying off debt and building wealth.

Although I launched my show in September 2018, I was inspired to start a podcast after listening to The Money Nerds Podcast by Whitney Hansen. However, paralyzed by the fear of technology (this is a real thing) and not having a cohost, I sat on the idea for two years. Now, The Thought Card Podcast is frequently quoted as one of the top travel podcasts to listen to. Wow, what an honor!

But none of this would have been possible without your support. Thank you for subscribing to the show on your favorite podcast player (Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher etc). I appreciate you listening every week and leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts. Thank you for sharing episodes with your friends and tagging me on social media. I love hearing from you.

Getting to over 27,000 downloads in 13 months would not have been possible without you. Ah, thank you so much! Before I start getting emotional, here are the top five most downloaded episodes of The Thought Card Podcast.
