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 blurry, especially when your retirement plan looks suspiciously like a Vegas weekend—just without the free cocktails.

On this episode, Brad tries once and for all to convince us that investing and gambling are two very different things, while Jared and Kira try to get him to finally admit they are one in the same. It’s a debate for the ages, and the winner will definitely surprise you.

• Stocks Differ From Overall Investing (4:15)
