Stocks. Shares. Index funds. Bulls. Bears. It all sounds like finance bro lingo — but the stock market actually plays a huge role in your daily life. In this episode, we break down what the stock market really is, how it started, why prices go up and down, and how regular people (like you) can use it to build long-term wealth — without needing to memorize a single Warren Buffett quote.
No jargon. No hype. Just a smart, simple explanation of the world’s most misunderstood money machine.
