Most prop firms look great on the surface — until payout time.

In this sit-down with Propshop Trader CEO Sean Kozak, we unpack what it actually takes to build a legit prop firm from scratch — no white labels, no fake accounts, just real capital, custom tech, and the truth about evaluations.

We get into why most traders fail, how payouts really work, and what most firms aren’t telling you. If you’re serious about getting funded and staying funded, this is required watching.
