What I enjoyed about this conversation with Anmol, was the juxtaposition of the personas he seems to have. On the one hand he appears to be the prototypical "finance guy." He is a high end trader, with nice clothes, and helps people make millions of dollars using his specialized investing approach (Learn more about it and his book here- https://preppingforsuccess.com/). Money and returns appear to be his guiding stars and he isn't ashamed about it.

But then, Anmol is also deeply reflective, spiritual, and focused on morality. He realized he had a gift for understanding the psychology of traders and decided to use that to create tools to help others better their lives. He openly admits that most of the work that it takes to be successful can be done by anyone, it is just hard and boring. There is a humility and philosophical mindset that isn't just geared around money and expensive things.

Maybe that has been one of my biggest learnings in doing this show, something I should have known since I was 6 years old-- the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" thing. People, like Anmol, are multi faceted. It is possible to be a hard driving finance professional, who also understands the role of spirituality in your life and desires to serve people beyond yourself. Just because I have preconceived notions of people and want to put them in a box does not mean that is the way the world actually works.

We can only know that though through conversations like these. Only in being curious, probing, and questioning can we allow our minds to put aside our biases and actually understand someone for who they are. I am glad I did that with Anmol, because it allowed me to better understand how he balances these different "personas", what is actually most important to him, how he developed his moral compass, and what it is about trading that makes him feel so alive.

A big thanks to him for being on and letting us peak through his perspective for a bit.
