The Real Money Pros

Chasing Gold, Chasing Wealth: What History Teaches Us About Risk (9/6/2025)


Listen Later

This week, Brian and Jeremiah draw a line straight from the California Gold Rush to today's Wall Street. Why? Because the way people chase wealth really hasn't changed. From miners risking it all for a nugget of gold to investors jumping on the latest market trend, the patterns of greed, fear, and opportunity repeat over and over.

The guys break down what history can teach us about investing today: why discipline outlasts hype, how to balance risk and reward, and how to avoid letting emotion wreck your financial plan. They also touch on the bigger picture—like what "wealth" really means and why legacy and values matter just as much as returns.
