in the trenches with @SolSwizzle | Ep 101 | Presented by @fomo xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/2ReWVXoqz…

Now that we've got 100 episodes of in the trenches under our belts, I have something new to share with you all: For as long as I’ve been a trader, and really since retail trading took off decades ago, there have only been two types of content made around it: Educational content and aspirational content. On the educational side, you’ve got interviews, lessons, chart reviews, and how-tos. There are tons of great creators, and I’ve learned most of what I know about trading from content like this, but it only shows the process. On the aspirational side, you’ve got the cars, the clothes, the private jets, and the mansions. Peeking into the lives of the top 0.0001% of traders is fun, but is it relatable? I’ve never wanted any of those things, so it’s not for me. I venture to guess many other traders feel the same. What’s missing, in my opinion, is everything in between: how regular traders actually use trading to shape their lives. When I think about what trading is meant to solve for me, it comes down to two things: freedom and autonomy. My ultimate trading goal is for it to afford me the ability to do what I really want to do, exactly when I want to do it. There are a thousand ways traders use trading to shape their lives. We just never get to see them. Until now. I'm excited to introduce a new body of work for @fomo called Touching Grass. Honest, down-to-earth, off-the-screens conversations with traders, in the places that inspire them most. Trading shouldn’t be all there is to life, but it can be the way we earn the freedom to go and live it. Ep. 1 premieres this Friday, Nov 13th.
