My journey from one of the largest hedge funds in the world to the intersection of neuroscience and elite performance.
I spent over a decade in the trenches of finance. I saw the smartest men and women in the room - people with Ivy League degrees and billion-dollar P&Ls - crumble under the weight of their own psychology.
They were financially rich, but internally bankrupt. They were winning the trade, but losing the war.
In 2008, the facade cracked. The financial crisis didn't just break banks; it broke people. I realized that the industry didn't need better algorithms. It needed a new operating system for the human mind.
I left to study the science of sustainable peak performance. I dove into neuroscience, behavioral finance, and emotional intelligence. I didn't want to just "coach" traders; I wanted to bulletproof them.
