Is Investing Just Gambling Without The Casino?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. If you’ve ever opened a brokerage app, stared at a stock chart shaped like a heart monitor, and thought, “Am I investing, or did I just put $500 on red at the roulette table?” — you’re not alone. For many of us it feels like investing and gambling are like cousins at a family barbecue: one shows up in a suit talking about “long-term growth,” while the other is in a Hawaiian shirt yelling, “Double or nothing!” The line between the two can feel...

How Much Does Your Credit Score Actually Affect Your Life?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Credit scores are like that mysterious number your parents warned you about but never fully explained—sort of like the adult version of a GPA, except instead of determining whether you get into college, it decides whether you get a car loan, a mortgage, or just a sad little store credit card with a $200 limit. They say that a “good” credit score usually means you look trustworthy enough to lenders (think financial Tinder, but without the awkward bios), while a...

Title: Stock Market 101: What You NEED To Know
Mindset with Brad Barrett
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...

How to Choose the Best Savings Accounts for Your Money
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Picking the right savings account can feel a lot like online dating: they all promise security, growth, and a bright future together, but the fine print can make or break the relationship. High-yield savings? That’s your money hitting the gym. Certificates of Deposit? That’s your money in a serious long-term relationship—no breakups allowed. Traditional savings? That’s the dependable friend who’s always available but never picks up the check. The key...

Should You Replace Your Financial Advisor with A.I.?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. If you’ve ever wondered whether to trust your life savings to a warm-blooded human in a suit or a cold, unblinking algorithm that dreams in ones and zeros, you’re not alone. On one hand, financial advisors can offer a reassuring smile, a firm handshake, and occasionally a story about “that one time in ’08.” On the other, AI doesn’t need coffee breaks, doesn’t judge your avocado-toast spending habits, and can crunch more numbers in a second than your...

How To Protect Your Accounts From Hackers And Scammers
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Let’s face it—keeping your money safe these days feels a bit like guarding a cookie jar in a room full of toddlers hopped up on sugar. We’ve heard the horror stories: from people who clicked one “urgent” email and ended up buying a broken-down lawnmower in Latvia, to those who thought “123456” was a solid password choice (spoiler: it’s not). Hackers and scammers are out there, lurking behind fake login screens and suspicious phone calls, just waiting...

Six Questions Your Financial Advisor Should Be Asking You
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Picking a financial advisor shouldn’t feel like a blind date with your retirement on the line—but for many people, it kind of does. You sit across the table, nodding along as they throw around words like “diversification” and “risk tolerance,” while you silently wonder if they actually get you—or if they just really like spreadsheets. The truth is, a good financial advisor should be asking the right questions, not just selling you a cookie-cutter plan....

Winners And Losers Of The Big Beautiful Bill
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. President Trump has just unveiled his latest legislative masterpiece: the One Big Beautiful Bill™ — a bill so long, so dense, and so packed with random capitalized words, it makes War and Peace look like a tweet. Clocking in at roughly the length of the Old Testament and the weight of a small child when printed, this bill covers everything from taxes to TikTok to toaster regulations. No one—not lawmakers, not analysts, not even Trump himself—has actually...

Let’s face it—kids think money grows on trees, lives in your wallet, and magically appears every time you swipe a card. To them, an ATM is just a vending machine for grown-ups. “Why can’t you just go get more money?” they ask with the financial wisdom of a goldfish. And for most parents, talking to their children about money is about as fun as getting a root canal in the middle of an insurance seminar.
