On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

#144 Tracy Gapin, MD: Enhancing Trading Performance Through Physiological Insights 1:08:54

At the core of exceptional trading is the individual trader—you! While we diligently focus on the transactional elements of trading, such as market analysis and risk management, we often neglect the importance of optimizing ourselves to engage effectively with these aspects. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked physiological dimension of trading with Dr. Tracy Gapin, founder and CEO of the Gapin Institute. As a leading expert in men's health and performance, Dr. Gapin specializes in helping senior executives, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and athletes enhance their health and performance. We delve into the critical relationship between mental and physical health, highlighting how internal processes significantly impact healthy cognitive function. A well-functioning cognitive process boosts trading productivity by facilitating clear market interpretation and fostering objectivity in decision-making. It reduces stress and anxiety, enabling more effective judgments and execution. Furthermore, it increases resilience in the face of setbacks, assists in managing risks and emotions, encourages acceptance of outcomes, and promotes detachment from ego—key components for continuous improvement and adaptability. Prioritizing your well-being also offers additional benefits: it can lead to a longer, healthier life, creating a true ‘win-win’ scenario. Join us for an insightful discussion that could transform your trading journey. To learn more about Dr. Tracy Gapin and the Gapin Institute, visit Gapin Institute Website .

#140 Steven Goldstein: Developing Yourself as a Trader 41:42

21 weeks ago41:42

41:42

Everyone wants to achieve as much as possible with minimal effort and pain, often seeking "cheat codes." However, some realize that maximizing rewards requires working smarter and acknowledging that risk-taking involves discomfort. These individuals embrace, manage, and learn from risks rather than looking for shortcuts, making them more likely to succeed. When I started trading, I, too, wanted to gain without experiencing pain. Over the years and through many challenges, I learned that true success lies in engaging with the discomfort that comes from taking risks. Success in trading extends beyond analysis, systems, and methods. While being competent in these areas is essential, they are only foundational. Achieving game-changing success requires a deeper understanding of trading and an awareness of what you are up against. To transform your trading, you must develop advanced skills, comprehend market challenges, and navigate the complex systems at play. This involves recognizing the three intertwined challenges of trading: Your understanding of the external market environment. Your self-awareness and engagement with your internal environment. Your process for achieving specific outcomes as you navigate both of the above environments. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned trader, this episode offers valuable insights into "Developing Yourself as a Trader," a field rarely explored yet so crucial to success. As part of this episode, we highlight our new High Performance Trader Learning Programme launching in March, the first ever comprehensive programme looking as Trader Development. We are running this through our educational partner, the Society of Technical Analysts.

In this week's episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, we welcome Pradeep Bonde of StockBee, a highly regarded trader in the retail trading community. Pradeep entered the trading world later in his career after a successful tenure as the head of marketing for DHL and FedEx in India. His passion for trading was ignited when he spent time alongside a colleague who actively traded the markets. Captivated by his colleague’s approach, Pradeep embarked on a love affair with trading, but the journey to success was anything but smooth. In the early stages of his trading career, Pradeep experienced the classic rollercoaster ride that many new traders face, marked by significant wins followed by devastating losses. Although he had a strong appetite for risk, the emotional toll of this tumultuous trading style began to negatively impact his mental well-being. Recognizing the need for a change, Pradeep drew on his robust background in business and logistics to restructure his trading approach. He developed favoured setups and adopted a strategy of taking partial profits, and hitting singles, which involves compounding multiple small wins. In this insightful episode, Pradeep shares his journey and the wisdom he’s gained along the way. He discusses the classic mistakes that many traders make, such as failing to establish a clear trading process and falling victim to the ‘island mentality’ whereby they focus on getting rich quickly with dreams of an island home and luxury cars, instead of mastering the more mundane yet essential art of consistently making money. Join us for this enlightening discussion filled with valuable lessons from Pradeep Bonde, as he offers practical advice to help traders navigate their own journeys in the ever-evolving trading landscape.

Join us for an enlightening episode of the AlphaMind Podcast, where we delve into the transformative world of performance coaching for traders. Hosted by AlphaMind's own Randall and Steven Goldstein, this engaging discussion features Kim Ann Curtin , famously known as The Wall Street Coach. In this dynamic conversation, we explore how performance coaching serves as a vital catalyst for traders, empowering them to unlock substantial improvements in their trading performance. Kim-Ann shares with us the critical role of coaching in enhancing self-awareness and facilitating personal discovery, helping traders achieve their fullest potential while navigating the complexities of the financial markets. We'll also confront a pressing issue—the hesitation many traders and trading firms feel when it comes to seeking coaching and performance enhancement. As we compare this mindset to the culture in other high-performance arenas, particularly elite sports, we highlight a stark contrast. In sports, engaging with coaches is the norm, while many in trading continue to struggle with the belief that they must not seek additional help. This episode further examines the self-sabotaging attitudes that often prevail, especially among men, who may dismiss the idea of asking for help. Despite compelling evidence from research showing the transformative impact and impressive return on investment of performance coaching— the median ROI is around 700%, though in almost a fifth of cases it was around 5000% *—the trading industry has yet to foster a robust culture of continuous improvement. Discover invaluable insights and perspectives that challenge the status quo and encourage both traders and firms to embrace performance coaching as a powerful avenue for growth and success.
