Hi,
I'm Hugh, one of the co-hosts of the podcast, and the founder of Trading Heroes.
I've always been fascinated with how the human mind works…especially my own mind.
You see, I was a painfully shy kid and it took me awhile to grow out of it. I always wondered why I was so anxious in social situations and I was jealous that it came so easily for other people.
When I would walk down the hall at school, I would get nervous when someone was walking the other way because I didn't know what to say to them…even if they were a friend!
That was the start of a long journey of unraveling my own psychology and helping others do the same. Obviously, there were other challenges that I wanted to work on too, but the shyness was the catalyst.
I read a lot of books, tried all kinds of techniques and forced myself into very uncomfortable situations…all in the name of self-improvement.
Finding trading was a blessing because it's a very objective indicator of my mindset. When I'm in the right mindset, I trade well. When I trade well, I usually make money.
If not, then the opposite happens.
The bottom line is that I've used trading as one of my primary vehicles for self improvement.
Trading is really cool in that the goal is material gain, but it can only be mastered upon very deep self-reflection. This amazes many new traders I talk to.
Like most traders, I've learned a ton of trading strategies. After learning dozens of strategies, I finally admitted the fact that success didn't lie in my strategy…but in my mindset.
That's when things turned around for me.
In my quest to upgrade the way I think, I've taken courses, used various devices, explored different mediation modalities, have gone on shamanic journeys, dealt with the highs and lows of trading, and have become a certified Add Heart Facilitator™.
I share my knowledge and experience on the podcast, to help traders like you.
