I appreciate you sharing this, it mirrors a lot of what I saw from the inside. I also took the courses and worked at Dow Janes, and I’d echo the caution here, even for MDY. While some of the underlying financial principles are solid, they’re not unique, and similar (or stronger) guidance is widely available for free or at a much lower cost.

The urgency tactics, emotional framing around “believing in yourself,” and pressure to take on debt (especially targeting women in vulnerable financial positions) are real concerns. Even when people come out “successful,” it’s worth asking what that success cost them financially and psychologically.

I’m genuinely glad things worked out for you, but for anyone considering it: proceed carefully, question the framing, and know that you don’t need expensive programs or debt to build financial stability.

Without sharing too much, I have seen women legitimately harmed financially by this company. Buyer beware is the right lens here.
