PODCAST SHOW HOST
I run the podcast A Trader’s Life.
Every week I talk to traders from all around the world, all walks of life. Some are self-taught, others come from an institutional background. We talk about mindset and motivation. Strategies. The setbacks and breakthroughs. We also talk about the quirks of a trader’s life.
If you glance at my profile on LinkedIn, you’ll see I’m no big shot trader. I’m actually pretty new to it all. But I’m not new to story-telling. I’m a novelist, writer/director/producer of plays and films and a copywriter.
On A Trader’s Life I ask my guests to share their story with me – how they got into trading, and why they stuck at it, in spite of the inevitable setbacks. One of my guests lost 50,000 in just a just a few months. Today’s she’s crushing it in commodities. How did she do it?
Here’s the thing… the picture I’m getting is that it’s not so much about the money, it’s about the challenge.
It’s also about freedom: finding a pursuit that can make you an income that only relies on your smarts and an internet connection.
If you can get there, trading can potentially free up your day, allowing you to explore a world that extends far beyond the daily commute to an office.
So, if you’re a trader interested in comparing your story with the stories of traders who’ve cracked it, or even if you’re just curious about trading, grab your headphones, open your browser and have a listen – A Trader’s Life.
