From Uber Driver to Hedge Fund Millionaire: Mark Anderson on Zero DTE Options Trading
In this episode, we sit down with Mark Anderson, founder of MBH Capital Management, to hear his journey from construction sites to leading a boutique hedge fund focused on 0 Days to Expiration (0DTE) options trading. Mark opens up about the mindset shifts that helped him go from broke to managing millions—and why behavioral edge matters more than technology in high-stakes environments.
We dig into AI hype vs. reality, how he uses simple automations and APIs, and why most people misunderstand what it really takes to outperform the market. He also shares his unique take on personal investing, and why he's a strong advocate of investing in yourself before your 401k.
It’s a candid, energetic, and no-fluff conversation that mixes tactical insights with deep personal reflection.
