Do you know what the most challenging part of #investing is? It’s not picking the right stocks or timing the market perfectly. It’s not about mastering financial models or reading complex balance sheets. These things are somewhat important if you wish to pick stocks, but the real challenge, and the one most people overlook, is mastering the inner game. Let's discuss this more in today's episode of the #TheInnerGame #podcast.

We live in strange times. On the surface, it looks like we’ve got it all—information at our fingertips, opportunities everywhere, and tools to measure, track, and optimize every part of our lives. But beneath all that, something’s growing fast. Not confidence. Not clarity. But insecurity. In fact, I can even say that we’re living in a bull market of insecurity. A never-ending bull market! Let's discuss this more in today's episode of the #TheInnerGame #podcast.

In this short episode of the #TheInnerGame #podcast, I explore a life-changing idea from the Stoic philosopher Epictetus—the Dichotomy of Control. This concept is a key chapter in my book, Boundless, where I dive deeper into timeless wisdom for modern life. Discover how understanding the simple difference between what you can control and what you can’t can transform the way you deal with stress, anxiety, and life’s challenges. This ancient wisdom is more relevant than ever in today’s chaotic world. Watch till the end to learn how to apply it in your daily life and find lasting peace.

A simple truth: if something cannot go on forever… it won’t. Sounds obvious, right? And yet, we constantly act like it’s not true. So, we assume that stock markets will always go up, our relationships will always stay the same, our energy, our health, our youth—always unchangeable, and success, once achieved, is permanent. But then reality hits. Markets crash. Life shifts. People change. And suddenly, we’re caught off guard. How to deal with this harsh truth of life? Let's discuss this more in today's episode of the #TheInnerGame #podcast.

There’s a cruel joke about money that no one tells you until it’s too late. It is that if you don’t have enough, it controls your life. If you have too much, it can do the same. For most of us, money starts as a solution. A way to escape stress, buy comfort, create options. But beyond a certain point, money can turn into a trap. Not because it’s bad, but because it can quietly shift from being a tool… to an obsession. Let's discuss more on this in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast.

There’s a certain kind of video or article that keeps showing up lately. And the headline shouts – “Markets are down 15%! Should you buy or wait?” You’ve probably seen it too. And every time the market moves a little, the same question comes up: Is this the right moment to jump in? I think this is the wrong way to approach investing. Let's discuss this in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast.

Have you ever noticed how much of our lives revolve around waiting? We wait in line, we wait for the weekend, we wait for that next big thing that we believe will change everything. But there’s something about waiting that we don’t often talk about. And it is that waiting is not just about passing time — it’s about how we endure that time, what we do with it, and most importantly, what happens when we do nothing at all. I discuss this idea of "waiting" in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast.

Today is a special day for me and for all of us at Safal Niveshak. This journey, which I started in 2011, today completes 13 years. It’s been an incredible journey, and in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast, I want to take a moment to reflect on it, the lessons learned, and what lies ahead. 

In our society, we’re often conditioned to chase success and avoid failure at all costs. Success is celebrated, while failure is hidden away, something to be ashamed of. But what if we’ve got it all wrong? What if, in the grand scheme of life, both success and failure are merely two sides of the same coin? Let's discuss this and a lesson from Charlie Munger on handling success and failure well, in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast.

True wisdom lies not in overestimating our abilities, but in understanding our limitations and acting accordingly. I talk about the dangers of overconfidence in life and investing, in today's episode of #TheInnerGame #podcast.
