On this episode of Words of Rizdom which was recorded on 21st November 2025 we are joined by Ted Zhang. We dive into the mindset and discipline behind elite performance, told through the perspective of a 25-year-old trader co-managing over $20 million. The conversation frames trading, and life, as a long-term game, where mistakes are not failures but essential feedback. Alongside lessons from elite athletes, authors, and trading industry professionals, the episode emphasises the importance of studying historical market data to understand patterns, probabilities, and context, using the past as a guide, not a crutch. We hope you enjoy this episode.
