The dawning of 2026 brings in a renewed sense of possibility — a fresh chance to reset, refocus, and finally take control of the areas of life that matter most. For many of us, our finances sit at the top of that list, carrying the weight of old habits, lingering stress, and goals that never quite made it past January.

Well, it's finally here…the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you to "be of good cheer."

There's a special kind of magic that settles over the world during the days leading up to Christmas day, a twinkling blend of excitement, hope, and the joyful anticipation of what tomorrow might bring.

As we celebrate the yuletide, we're reminded that the true magic isn't found under the tree, but in the moments and connections that make our hearts feel full. And for us those connections have been made through this channel with our viewers.

And to say thank you for all the likes, comments, and good times we present one of the most beloved holiday poems of all time…with a special Mindset twist.

Just because you love a company doesn't mean investing in it will turn you into the next Warren Buffett. You might think their products are life-changing — maybe they saved you from bad hair days or brought you the softest sweatpants known to humankind — but that doesn't automatically mean their stock will buy you a yacht someday.

The financial world is full of great companies that don't always make for the best investments… and a surprising number that feel sketchier than a midnight infomercial but somehow make their shareholders money. So, on this episode, we're talking about how to tell the difference and giving out some tips to help you tell the difference between a brand you adore and a business that can actually grow your wealth.

Show Highlights Include:

• A Good Investment Company is… (2:30)

• Beware Of FOMO...Fear Of Missing Out (5:30)

• Look At Price To Earnings (10:00)

• Fundamentals Are The Key (14:00)

• Look For Competitive Advantage (17:00)

Winning the lottery feels like the universe just handed you a golden ticket to Easy Street—until you take a closer look and realize it actually comes with fine print the size of a CVS receipt. Yes, you may have imagined yachts, mansions, and dramatically quitting your job, but the truth is… Between taxes, fees, long-lost "relatives," you're not going to keep nearly as much of that jackpot as you think.

On this episode we're talking about a few smart steps to take to make sure you actually keep your winnings. And the best part? These lessons don't just apply to lottery winners—anyone expecting a big payout, like a pension lump sum, can use the same strategies to protect their money and avoid becoming the star of a financial horror story.

• The story of Brad's dad winning the lottery (3:15)

• Pensions work the same way (5:30)

• Cons of annuity...no control over the money (10:30)
