Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money.

If you’ve ever looked at the stock market and thought, “This looks like Vegas, but with fewer slot machines and way more people in suits sweating over coffee,” you’re not alone. To many, the stock market seems like a giant marketplace where people buy and sell tiny pieces of companies—like trading Pokémon cards, except instead of a shiny Charizard, you’re trying to snag a share of Apple before your uncle’s “hot tip” crashes faster than his fantasy football team. But unlike Pokémon, there are real risks: you can win big, lose big, or, most likely, end up somewhere in between wondering why you didn’t just stick with index funds and a savings account.

On this episode, Brad walks the team through a crash course in the stock market, why we all should be investing in it, and talks about some of the risk factors that everyone needs to know about before buying.
