Brent and I listen to Mike explain his strategy and then we go to work helping him make a few fixes that will help him align more to his intended outcome.

I share how I screwed up some trades in Chinese equities and what we can learn from them and then I pose a potential stupid news trade in oil and finally talk about maybe creating a Substack group. A reminder too on the mentorship podcast form that I want people to sign up for so we can enjoy learning from each other.

A continuation from the first podcast after I got cut off from a phone call.

This is a very wide ranging podcast where I get into a lot of different ways we can improve, and I share stories from my past, as well as things that inspired me to move the needle in my own development.

I talk about the importance of knowing your timeframe and then give you a few examples of how I’ve done that recently for the good and for the bad. The second half of this is me talking about running a paid group and how it might look and hopefully getting some feedback from you guys.

My wife’s phone call interrupted the last part, so this is the rest of it.
