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.

The Market Doesn’t Love You: Psychology Over Strategy & Keeping Traders in the Game
In this episode of the Pain & Profit Podcast, we go deep into the psychology behind trading — and why most traders never make it. We open by breaking down our theories on why Bitcoin is tanking and how that ripples through larger markets. But the real story for us as traders isn’t about the charts…it’s about how the human mind reacts when real money is on the line.
Mike shares how he can make great returns in a combine practice account but doesn’t care about it nearly as much as his live account. Paper accounts and live accounts trigger completely different versions of a trader, because money is emotional. Mike believes fear is the #1 killer of traders.
Tony argues that risk management is the real #1 killer. It takes time to evolve from a “deer in the headlights” trader who freezes on losing trades to someone who cuts quickly, resets, and focuses on risk vs. reward — because holding and hoping is how accounts die.
We challenge each other’s methods. Mike studies everything — from economic news to data flows, gamma scalping, individual stock behavior — because his long-term goal is to manage portfolios. Tony keeps it simple as a pure day trader, taking trades that last under 15 minutes. Tony argues that more information doesn’t make you a better trader, just a more distracted one. His philosophy:
“The market does the same thing every day. I don’t need to know everything. I just need to do my simple steps 1,000 times.”
We zoom out to the bigger truth: the market wasn’t built for retail traders — it was built for banks to move money around the world. Yet we choose this game anyway. Trading isn’t just technical; it’s identity, discipline, and introspection. It tests your character. It isolates you. It exposes you to yourself.
Trading is a sport — a brutal, lonely, and deeply personal one.
We hope you don’t quit. We hope you become who you need to become to win.
Welcome to the Pain & Profit.
