AlphaMind podcast #107 A US Navy Seal Commander, A Mindfulness Expert, and Self-Compassion


In the brutal world of trading and markets, we can often turn in on ourselves, and end up becoming our biggest problem. The ability to stay calm, controlled, and above the fray, and to overcome setbacks and remain on process, are crucial factors behind successful trading. 

In this episode of the AlphaMind Podcast we are in conversation with former US Navy Seal Commander Jon MacAskill and Mindfulness Guru Will Schneider, who together present the 'Men Talking Mindfulness' podcast, we explore how people can channel their emotions and feelings and use them to better inform their trading decisions. 

We explore themes, vital to optimum performance, that traders often fail to give meaningful attention to, such as self-care and mental calmness. In particular, we also zoom in on the vital but often underplayed art of developing self-compassion. 

This episode goes in-depth on a subject which is still largely seen as a new-age holistic practice, rather than an activity, which, when time, energy, and deliberate practice are spent on, can empower people to achieve significantly stronger performance, on a sustainable basis, whilst reducing stress, and promoting better personal well-being. 

We also talk beyond mindfulness, on subject and themes connected to better mental well-being, and improved personal performance, and discuss the soft skills of high performance, which are ironically the hardest skills to master.
