Pain & Profit Podcast
This podcast is for the traders, hustlers, founders, and creators who don’t run from pain… they use it. Hosted by a day trader who’s lived both sides of the chart — blown accounts, sleepless nights, and the thrill of green days — this is a raw conversation about what it really takes to win.
Each episode dives into the truth behind success:
- The losses no one posts.
- The strategies that actually work.
- Mindset, money, discipline, and risk.
- Real stories from entrepreneurs, traders, and builders who turned pain into profit.
No fluff. No fake motivation. Just real people, real lessons, and the blueprint to keep moving forward.
Welcome to the Pain & Profit Podcast — where we embrace both, and build anyway.

Risk vs. Reward: The Pain You Pay for the Profit You Want
In this episode of the Pain & Profit Podcast, Tony and Mike go deep on one of the hardest truths in trading — risk always comes before reward.
After a tough red day in the market, Mike opens up about how losses test your mindset and your process. We talk about what happens when discipline collides with emotion, and how understanding your max loss and cutting trades early can be the difference between surviving the day or blowing up your account.
We break down real trader topics in this episode:
- Proper contract sizing and knowing when to stop scaling
- The risk of growing your trading business too fast
- How overconfidence can destroy consistency
- The ICT market cycle — Consolidation → Expansion → Retracement / Reversal → Consolidation — and how recognizing these phases helps traders find rhythm in chaos
But more than just strategy, this episode is about self-awareness. Knowing your limits, staying grounded, and learning that protecting capital is part of the grind.
Because every trader wants the upside… but few are built to pay the pain that comes with chasing it.
If you’ve ever had a red day that made you question everything this episode will remind you why you keep coming back.
