In a perfect world, you’d be sitting in a trading office, surrounded by other traders, high standards, shared prep, honest feedback, and accountability. You’d get better faster just by being there.

But most traders don’t have that option.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why trading offices work so well
• How collaboration accelerates learning and raises standards
• Trading buddies vs trading pods and what actually helps
• How I used collaboration throughout my own trading journey
• And how to recreate the best parts of a trading office without the commute

I also reference a great clip from SMB Capital, where Jeff Holden explains why collaboration is such a powerful force in developing traders, especially when trading remotely.

You didn’t exit too early.

You had the wrong mindset.

In this episode, I break down mindset matching... aligning your mindset with the market and the structure you’re trading.

Grinding trends and momentum moves look similar, but they demand very different mental calibrations.

Get this wrong, and even good trades fall apart!

In this episode, I break down the three non-negotiable steps I’ve seen work again and again for traders who finally stop spinning their wheels and start making real progress.

We cover how to define your trading North Star, how to reverse engineer your edge into focused daily work, and how to review your performance properly... without over-analysing or burning yourself out.

Have you ever seen the film Zulu?

It’s not really a war film.

It’s a lesson in discipline under pressure.

In this episode, I break down what the Battle of Rorke’s Drift teaches us about trading… why structure beats strength, why survival matters more than heroics, and why holding the line is often the real edge.

A calm look at discipline, risk, and behaviour when things get uncomfortable.

Forget the tech. Forget the tribalism. Mark digs into the behaviour around crypto, how narratives form, how they collapse, and why traders should stay observers, not disciples.
