At 66 and newly retired, Martin decided to take on a new challenge—forex trading. With a background in investment analysis, he thought he knew markets, but soon realized trading is a whole different game.  

In this episode, Martin shares what he’s learned about discipline, focus, and managing the “devil on your shoulder.” He talks about treating trading like a business, not a hobby, and why most traders fail. His honest insights are a must-listen for anyone serious about consistency—or wondering if trading is even right for them.
