The emotional cost of ambition in the Australian sharemarket

In this episode of Talking Trading, I sit down with author and high-performance coach Andy Reid to explore a blind spot many traders ignore: the impact of ambition on your closest relationships.

If you’ve ever pushed too hard, worked too long, or chased results at the expense of the people who matter most, this conversation is for you. We talk about why emotional resilience is just as important as technical analysis, and how strong relationships can actually improve your trading performance.

Sometimes the smartest trade you’ll ever make is choosing connection over isolation.

Tune in to explore what really counts when the markets close and real life begins.
