  • 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 with trading advice, just my opinion.

  • Invaluable Resource for an Aspiring Trader

    I’ve so far listened to the first 13 episodes of the show, but have already learned so much valuable information from seasoned traders. I began learning about trading last month, and one of the most value-packed of the learning resources I’ve found so far has been this podcast. Few other places seem to offer the kind of access to real trading knowledge offered here for free. Highly recommend for any aspiring traders such as myself, but I’m positive value can be found here by traders with years o... more

  • Tessa Dao needs to level up

    Since host and owner Tessa Dao bought the podcast, it’s gone downhill. Tessa, if you’re reading this, here are the things you NEED TO DO to bring the podcast to its former glory: 1. First and foremost, properly mix the sound levels on your episodes. It’s amateur hour to hear your pianissimo voice over commercial and then cut to Aaron Fifield’s booming voice. Use a mixer or hiere one so I don’t have to keep my hand on the volume knob to adjust in real time. Seriously. 2. Take a voice training cla... more

    Great podcast series but clueless and babbling Tessa is a real drawback. Sorry to say.
