Love Jason. Love his vast knowledge. He’s a kind and benign interviewer never out to get anyone & wishes everyone the best. I live that he’s direct w his financial inquiries despite the guest’s reaction. I just wish he’d be a bit less structured w his “line of questioning”. This is a “long form” interview for a reason.. You don’t have to adhere to this unwavering plan. It should be a guide upon which to fall back when all else fails or it’s going off the rails. Otherwise, the best interviews are those that take the unexpected turns!!! Finally the Jason Tartic stock response “I LOVE IT” needs to go. 😂 But it makes for a great driving game if you wana endure a quick buzz!!!🙃 *side note SO HAPPY FOR JASON AND KATHERINE!!!💘💘💘

JTA is my fav!!
I absolutely love listening to JTA episodes. I remember listening to last year’s and so happy for Jason to hear this year’s update. Jason, I am so happy for the clarity and peace that you have. Kathryn is truly your soulmate and couldn’t be more thrilled for such a heavenly match!

J + KATHRYN!!!
As a day 1 listener and “follower” of J since The Bachelor days, I have never heard him so sure and confident speaking to someone and about someone like Kathryn. The way your vulnerability has grown over the years has been amazing to witness and this episode with Kathryn was just that. It seems you have found someone you can truly grow WITH and you two sound unstoppable together. I have a feeling the best is yet to come!!!!

My favorite podcast!
JTA is my favorite! I always loved Jason from the Bachelorette, to following him on instagram, and now this podcast. With almost 20 years in the finance industry I love this podcast and I still learn new things every week. How does someone make finance fun? I don’t know but Jason, the curious Canadian, and his guests do just that! I’m excited to hear every week! Do Thursdays!

Favorite JTA to date
You can really see how happy Jason is in this episode, and it made the whole thing feel so genuine. I loved the little rants he went on. It just felt like a true feel good JTA episode. Even though there weren’t a ton of numbers shared, this might honestly be my favorite JTA yet.
I’d love more episodes like this, especially with the 30 minute Thursday idea. I think that’s a great direction. The Curious Canadian absolutely nailed the interview, and you can tell you guys are like family. Such a beautiful podcast.
You can also see how much Kathryn means to him and the happiness she brings into his life, which honestly made me so happy for him. Great episode guys 👏 instagram handle jgomes007

JTA is 100% the best episode of the year. It’s true to the purpose of this podcast. The people want to hear the numbers of the crazy influencer world and to get to hear Jason’s is so insightful. Thank you for the transparency! @abby_richmond

Authentic, informative & Fun- great listen!
I’ve loved every episode of Trading Secrets, but watching Jason’s growth throughout 2025 has been nothing short of outstanding. He has this incredible gift for breaking down finance into “Barney terms” that actually make sense, all while pulling actionable advice from every single guest.
The guests are always so informative, and Jason does a fantastic job lifting them up and letting their experiences shine. The “Jason Tell All” episode? Absolute five-star gold.
I’m officially a forever listener—this is the first episode I queue up every Monday. And can we please make 30-minute Thursdays happen? 🙌

Inspiring
I just finished listening to Jason’s yearly episode and left feeling inspired and motivated. I have followed Jason’s journey since the bachelor franchise era and can’t believe how much he has grown since then. His hard work, drive, and commitment to helping others has truly pushed him to success. My husband and I are currently trying to buy a house, so my favorite part was when Jason talked about his first house purchase. Thank you Jason for everything you teach us through this podcast! Never stop! Instagram: alyssamsnow

Love the Pod
Been a fan since the Bachelorette days. The podcast is a nice blend between staying up to date on pop culture while also learning a thing or two about business. As a former soccer player I would love to see a professional women’s soccer player on the pod to talk about their life experiences and how pay in women’s soccer and sports has changed so much over the past decade.

Harry and Detroit!
What a feel good and inspirational story! Thanks for sharing! Detroit Lions fans have been patiently waiting for a Super Bowl for years and we all need to live more like Harry!

Decent, but too many ads
Interviewing is ok, but there are repeated ads every twenty minutes

Hilary Musser Recap is All Time
Jason and David had me crying in the Hilary Musser recap. It’s like you were reading my mind. Nice job boys

Mike the Situation-Angel
Thoroughly enjoyed both episodes with Mike! It is truly inspiring hearing his story & how he lives everyday to help people. A lot of people aren't able to get the help they truly need and he is giving those a chance. I cannot wait to read the book, I am a big time reader, I know I will not be able to put it down!!
Jenny. R
OG listener
I’ve listened to the pod since episode one with Dean back in the pandemic days! I truly look forward weekly to the podcast. I think some cool people to have on would be Dr. John Delaney, Galey Alix, or Jocko Willink! I love curious Canadian recaps and the way you both have grown over the years! Favorite listen each week!

Mike The Situation 🔥
Mike is inspiring and motivational. I’m feeling all the feels after listening to this 2-part podcast and can’t wait to read the book!!

Weekly listener.
Every single podcast I always have a take away. I learn something different each episodes. I love the weekly updates about what’s going on in the financial world. I love the personal life updates. BUT the best, is the recap with the curious Canadian.

Olivia’s episode
Jason Tartick’s recent podcast episode with Olivia on travel was both engaging and refreshingly thoughtful. The conversation struck a great balance between practical insights and personal storytelling, making it easy to stay hooked from start to finish. Jason’s interviewing style really shines here—he asks intentional questions, gives Olivia space to share her experiences, and keeps the dialogue flowing naturally rather than forcing sound bites.
What stood out most was how the episode went beyond just “where to go” and tapped into why travel matters—personal growth, perspective shifts, and the lessons learned along the way. Olivia’s insights felt authentic and relatable, and Jason did a great job connecting her experiences back to broader themes his audience cares about.
Overall, it was an inspiring and easy listen that will definitely make you want to book your next trip—or at least rethink how you approach travel. A strong episode that highlights Jason’s ability to blend meaningful conversation with real-world takeaways.

Too many ads
I like this show, but had to stop listening due to ads every couple of minutes. I’d rather you just group them at once rather than constantly interrupt conversations.

I love the variety of your subjects. Would you consider how to teach your children about money sense for their future?

Holiday Recommendation
Love listening to the podcast, so different than other podcasts! You asked for recommendations on how to split the holidays. My husband and I have been together 10 years and have a more unique way to do this than most. His family lives on the west coast & mine the east coast. His family gets Thanksgiving every single year and mine gets Christmas. Not fighting, no stress, no disappointments because everyone knows this is how it is every year. It’s worked for 10 years 🤍 His siblings do the same so everyone is together on his side for Thanksgiving and my siblings also do the same so we all get to be together on Christmas. I love that our kids also get to be home for Christmas morning since we live on the east coast near my family. That is super important to me as a mom.
Also, so happy for you! Good luck to you and Kathryn, you’ll figure out what works best for you guys!

😍
Always a good listen. Especially loved the episode with Ryan! Congrats to both Jason and David on exciting new life changes! It was so sweet hearing David talk about the new baby and how is wife is a rockstar. Friendly PSA to our curious Canadian- labor isn’t just how long you push for! 😝 i lolled at the response ‘she was in labor for 8 minutes’

Ryan Serhant Episode
I’ve been a long-time listener of Trading Secrets, but the Ryan Serhant episode really stood out. I loved how you went beyond surface-level success and dug into the actual mechanics of how Ryan built his brand and business — especially the conversation around urgency, personal accountability, and treating yourself like a product.
Ryan’s perspective on outworking everyone early on, saying yes before you feel ready, and creating content consistently even when it didn’t immediately pay off was incredibly motivating. The discussion about betting on yourself before anyone else does and how he approached risk with discipline (not ego) was a big takeaway for me.
What I appreciate most about Trading Secrets is how actionable it is and the diversity of guests you bring on. Jason does a great job bridging the influencer world with real business strategy across industries, making the insights feel relevant no matter what field you’re in. This episode wasn’t just inspirational — it was practical. I walked away thinking differently about how I show up professionally and how much intention matters behind the scenes.
Highly recommend this episode to anyone building a career, a brand, or a business — especially if you’re interested in real estate, entrepreneurship, or personal growth.

TOP PODCAST, plus, plus…
Jason is a true wealth of knowledge when it comes to business and money matters. He is both personable and professional when interviewing various guests at the top of their game.
Guests often don’t realize that they are in the “hot seat” as Jason probes into their earnings, past financial history, etc. Nothing appears to be off-limits for Jason to, at least, raise the question.
This makes for an excellent podcast, 5 stars ***** (plus, plus, plus, plus, plus!
David Arduin is the podcast fact-checker and Jason’s long time friend (again, plus more.) Sometimes David adeptly turns the table on Jason as he poses questions about Jason’s personal life.
BTW, congrats to David and his family on their latest investment: a new baby!
There’s no way around it: Children are pricey. I’d like to hear more on the costs of raising a child or children, how much savings should be accrued prior to expanding a family, hidden costs behind children, older children and allowances, when a child should start personal banking, etc…. Anything at all relating to the impact of children and family finances for both double and single income parents and in several different localities.
I would like to hear some of the same questions related to getting a pet. Many people forget that pets are family members and costs for their health and well-being add up. A frank discussion of adding a shelter or rescue pet (hopefully not buying a purebred) to one’s household would be most welcome.
If more people were better informed about these costs, perhaps there would be fewer abandoned animals.
Another subject: Food entrepreneurs make for very relevant guests because we’re ALL consumers of food. I’d like to hear about food product launches including initial successes and not-so-successful beginner errors, grocery store placement, higher and lower food item profits, food focus groups, selling from one’s own kitchen (what extra food safety or compliance regulations are a must,) food-profiling: targeting specific consumers and anything related to price setting and preferred shopping days.
"Trading Secrets" sets itself apart from other podcasts: Jason and David work seamlessly together and have forged a highly informative and entertaining podcast. “Trading Secrets” truly soars above all others.

An Easy to Digest Finance Podcast in a League of Its Own
As someone who has a degree in finance, works in banking/entertainment finance, and loves pop culture, this podcast is in a league of its own. I’ve always been fascinated by how money is made and an eager advocate of encouraging financial literacy, and I love how this podcast blends the two while covering a wide range including celebrities, executives, entrepreneurs, various industries, people who wear dozens of hats and more, all while presenting the information in a way that is easily digestible for all levels of financial and pop culture expertise!

Awesome listen every week !
Have been listening for a while but especially loved the episode with Mark Notarainni! Loved hearing his advice for people in the workforce / working for corporate companies.

Obsessed!
I love everything about this podcast. There is always something to learn and so many take away that can be applied in every day life. I love the variety of guests on the show. It combines my love of reality tv, celebrity, influencer, and business worlds and so much more. David’s input as the voice of the viewer always makes it relatable and allows us to digest the information from the “average Joe” perspective. Personally, I’d love to see Jason interview some of my favorite influencers who’ve turned into entrepreneurs with successful businesses, such as Krista Horton, Jennifer Reed, DarrylAnn Denner, Madison Nelson. Keep up the great work!

Entertaining and informative!!
I’ve been following and listening for a long time! I love to hear from celebrities that have worked the typical 9 to 5 job and how they transitioned into something more non-traditional! I’ve always been interested in hearing from famous daily vloggers! It seems like such a grind to do what they do and I’ve always been interested to see how much money they make from putting out so much content!
Livy Boncic
Great Podcast
Always enjoy the podcast and diverse set of guests! My favorites are hearing from experts in industries I know nothing about! Would love to hear from more unique guests of untraditional industries like oil/gas company CEOs, luxury Travel agents, Cattle Ranchers, etc.

Awesome listen
This was an awesome episode from my favorite finance podcast. I am a realtor in Cleveland Ohio and this was a great episode. Love Jake Cohen. Thank you so much to Jason and David for all the work you guys are putting into this podcast.

Congrats
Great show Jason. Love hearing personal life updates. Congratulations to Ashley and David. I think an esthetician or cosmetic surgeon would be a great guest. Also, I follow a few diy influencers or home decor influencers who I have watched grow their business. I would love the details.

Love the Jake Cohen episode!
This was so interesting to learn more about cook books, would love more guests in publishing!!

Jake Cohen episode
Wow was I captivated immediately with the Jake Cohen episode and gave him a follow halfway through! Incredibly passionate and motivating as well as insightful within an industry we haven’t heard much from on the podcast. Would love to have an OG like Giada, who started prior to social media to discuss her start and evolution. Way to always get the amazing interviews, love the involvement with AI at the recap learning about Michelin stars (which I knew about but food network was always on in my house and still is a favorite!)

Motivational
No one is more of a hype man than Jason. His genuine positivity is contagious. He discusses useful life tools & tips that are so helpful for the everyday person. His guests have substance - he doesn’t just interview celebrities who are hot in that moment.

Guest Suggestion
Love the podcast! I have a guest suggestion: Jordan Syatt. He has over 1 million followers on instagram, is a personal trainer, and one of the leading voices in the fitness industry. He’s built a successful online fitness community and app known as “The Inner Circle”, has a personal training mentorship business, and a podcast. He’s also good friends with former Bachelor Sean Lowe which ties back more to your background. Jordan is very open and vulnerable so I imagine he’d be open to actually talking numbers with the you.

Please don’t platform liars
Disappointed to see that Remi Bader was interviewed this week. Remi’s online behavior is beyond problematic, more often than not showing her truest self as a messy, insecure, oblivious, juvenile, clout-obsessed airhead. We need to stop supporting “influencers” like this - this kind of behavior shouldn’t be encouraged or held up as aspirational. She needs to be sitting on a therapist’s couch and not behind a podcast mic. Jason and team: please have higher standards for your interview subjects. You’ve interviewed plenty of interesting and accomplished influencers in the past, but Remi should never have made the cut.

Excellent & Informative
Happy belated birthday, Jason! Love that you and my son have the same birthday. I especially appreciate how you have managed to create a great variety - financial, social, and mental well-being. The entrepreneurs and celebs you have on, definitely have something to offer about their successes and you have a way that enables them to break it down simply for us listeners.

Never a bad episode!
Just finished the Kaitlan Collin’s episode and I so appreciate how unbiased and not political this episode was! I’ve been so stressed with our current political environment and this episode was just fascinating! I just love the variety this pod brings and love listening every week!

I love your podcast! I never comment or review but I can’t tell you how much I love the variety in guests and the amount of information that is shared. I am a national account manager in the food and beverage industry and it’s always intresting to hear other professions and how people got there.

Kaitlan Collins
As a conservative who listens to this podcast and rarely misses an episode I was a little hesitant going into this podcast with Kaitlan Collins due to her role at CNN. However, having listened to the full interview, I was impressed and pleasantly surprised that it stayed pretty neutral and didn’t end up being a president “bashing” session. There were a few bias comments but that is to be expected. I thought Jason did a wonderful job interviewing her and not showing too much bias either. Of course there is always going to be some bias, we’re all human. It was interesting there was very little mention of Biden’s presidency and her role there, which maybe speaks for itself. All in all, impressed with the episode and happy that it didn’t delve too deep into politics. David’s recap was spot on as always!
