CNBC Special Podcast: The Risky Path of the Young

In this CNBC podcast series, Melissa Lee explores the intersection of online betting, trading, and gaming, which have all surged in popularity and profits during the pandemic. She profiles the Gen Z consumers and social media influencers driving the trend, examines the companies profiting from it, and interviews experts trying to raise awareness about the potential risks. It's a new era where the lines between gambling, gaming, and investing are becoming increasingly blurred as the smartphone generation comes of age and challenges traditional notions of money and risk.
