What Is Passive Income and How Do You Get Some?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Ah, passive income—the magical unicorn of the financial world. It’s the idea that money could keep flowing into your account even while you’re binge-watching Netflix or pretending to be productive on a Sunday afternoon. For many, it sounds too good to be true—like a get-rich-while-you-nap scheme dreamed up by someone who’s allergic to alarm clocks. But here’s the thing: passive income is real… it just usually involves a bit of not-so-passive effort...

Financial Conspiracy Theories: Was The Titanic Intentionally Sunk?
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 hear faint ghostly wails on a cold October night, don’t worry — it’s probably just the restless spirits of millionaires who didn’t buy into JP Morgan’s banking plans. Legend (and a few very dedicated Reddit threads) say the Titanic didn’t sink because of an iceberg… it sank because of a bank. Yes, according to this delightfully chilling conspiracy, financier, tycoon, and perhaps — if you believe the legends — the ghostly godfather of...

Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. If money came with a warning label, it would probably say: “Side effects may include stress, denial, reckless Amazon purchases, and hiding delivery boxes from loved ones.” The truth is, we’ve all got our financial quirks—but some of us take it to Olympic levels. From the chronic over-spenders to the savings hoarders guarding their bank accounts like dragons on a gold pile, there are a few classic money disorders most of us fall into. The good news? You...

Is Cash A Necessity For Today Or A Relic Of Yesterday?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Remember cash? Those colorful bits of paper that used to live in your wallet before being replaced by a sleek piece of plastic—or, let’s be honest, your phone? These days, pulling out actual dollar bills at a checkout counter feels about as old-fashioned as paying for groceries with gold coins or trading chickens for Wi-Fi. But before we declare cash a dusty relic fit only for grandparents and conspiracy theorists, it’s worth asking: do we still need it? Or is...

Why It's Important To Agree On Finances In A Marriage
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. They say love conquers all, but that’s only because no one wants to print wedding invitations that read “’Til overdraft do us part.” You can be soulmates, finish each other’s sentences, and agree on everything from pizza toppings to pet names—but the moment one of you thinks “budget” means spreadsheets and the other thinks it means “guidelines you mostly ignore,” you’re not a couple, you’re a financial crime documentary in progress....

How Renting Vs Buying Affects Your Retirement Plans?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Trying to decide whether to buy a house or keep renting is a bit like choosing between pancakes and waffles—both can be delicious, both come with their own quirks, and everyone seems to have a strong opinion about which one is “the right” choice. When it comes to retirement, though, the decision feels less like breakfast and more like a long game of Jenga: every move counts, and one wobbly block could change the whole tower. So, should you plant roots with a...

Is Day Trading Worth The Risks?
Mindset with Brad Barrett
Welcome to Mindset! This is a show that is dedicated to honest, inspiring and thought-provoking conversations about money. Day trading is often pitched as the financial world’s version of extreme sports: fast, thrilling, and just dangerous enough to make your mother nervous. The promise is intoxicating—skip the 9-to-5, make money in your pajamas, and casually “retire” before lunch. But behind the glossy Instagram reels of traders on laptops by the beach lies a less glamorous reality: stress sweats, impulsive decisions, and a suspiciously strong relationship with energy drinks....

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...
info_outlineWelcome 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.
Show Highlights Include:
• Stock Knowledge Stats (03:15)
• What Is The Stock Market (5:20)
