Risk isn't something you think about after the trade… it's everything before the trade.

In today's episode, I'm joined by longtime friend and trader Mike McMahon for a deep dive into what actually keeps traders in the game long term—risk management.

We're not just talking theory. We're talking real-world application across:

Risk management frameworks that protect your capital
Technical analysis and how to apply it with discipline
The role of volatility and the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)
How geopolitical conflict and macro uncertainty impact trading decisions
What separates consistent traders from those who blow up

This is one of those conversations that can change how you approach every trade moving forward.
