    Your latest episode with guest Peter Goldstein was fantastic - so relevant to what we are navigating with our business today.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is Your Trading Strategy Failing or Is It Just Your Mind?
Q: What is the 60-second process to separate fear-based decisions from strategy-based ones?
A quick self-check: name the feeling, locate it physically, downregulate with a breath and posture, stand up if needed, assess the rate of problem behavior, determine the best decision, and verbalize it to lock in the response.
Is Your Trading Strategy Failing or Is It Just Your Mind?
Q: How can a fund manager stay convicted to a thesis without becoming stubborn or inflexible?
Adopt aggressive patience: be prepared and ready to act, but stay adaptable, gather diverse evidence, and continuously test assumptions while maintaining decisiveness.
Is Your Trading Strategy Failing or Is It Just Your Mind?
Q: What is the single psychological pattern you see in underperforming fund managers that no one on the desk is talking about?
Impulsivity and the difficulty pausing to respond rather than react; turning emotions into conscious behavior through training and a mental protocol.
The $10B Real Estate Strategy: Investors Want One Roof More Than 52 Doors
Q: How do you decide when to create a new vehicle versus just evolve an existing one?
New funds are created when there's a clear demand and operational learning from prior experiences; the company tests new asset classes on a syndication level before launching larger funds.
The $10B Real Estate Strategy: Investors Want One Roof More Than 52 Doors
