Loved it!

Loved the episode with Doug Colkitt. I especially liked it when you guys talked about how a trader can be responsible for a huge portion of a market while having no idea what the companies they are trading actually do. It made me feel like a total pro for at least knowing that the grocery store sells milk before I walk...

New trader

Just found this program. As a new trader it’s very helpful to hear people talk about market history and trading experiences. It would be more helpful if the host could drill down on guests favorite metric. Recently an older trader expressed his love of horizontal lines vs diagonal lines on a chart. It would have been h...

Episodes have gotten boring

I recommend the host focus on traders lives and experiences instead of constant general trading tips, so much talk about discipline/mental framework/mentorships instead of giving us stories to learn from like the old episodes. Get more into life stories and crazy trading events these people have gotten into punctuated ...

Great podcast. But Tessa has to

If it wasn’t for the fast forward button I would not be able to make it through this podcast. Tessa makes this almost unbearable to listen.

Apple Podcasts
Interviews are great but the preamble at the start of each show is terrible

Move the female’s rambling monologue to the end of the show not the start. It’s turning a lot of people off because nothing is being said and it doesn’t make sense to reference a bunch of other episodes when we’re about to listen to an episode. Aside from that the questions and quality of guests are really good
