My $30,000 lesson in loss (& it's not what you might think).

Solo mic today, fam. I walk you through a real-time lesson from this morning: $30k gone from one of our leveraged trades. No tears, no blame, just perspective and process. This episode isn’t about charts; it’s about psychology: risk appetite, sovereignty, responsibility… and why the most valuable asset you’ll ever own isn’t money - it’s time.

I break down exactly what happened, the mindset that kept us calm, the mistakes to avoid, and the three rules I live by for any investment (including relationships, health, and work).

Not financial advice - just lived experience and frameworks you can apply.

What You’ll Learn - The Event: A near “black swan” move that liquidated positions across the market (and ours). - Mindset Over Mayhem: How we stayed calm and decided our next move within minutes.

The 3 Rules of Investing (my way): - Never invest more than you’re willing (and able) to lose. - Do your own research & understand the mechanism (especially with leverage). - Think long-term, even when short-term pain hits. - Risk ≠ Reckless: Differentiating diversified, high-risk slices from core holds (shares, BTC, ETH).

Perspective Reset: The losses that truly hurt vs. the ones that don’t—and why.

The Ultimate Asset: Why time triggers me more than money and how to invest it wisely.

Resources & Next Steps - Re-listen and write your 3 personal rules for money, health, relationships, and work. - Audit your positions: Would losing this wreck me? If yes, resize. - If you’re new: start with micro-investing / DCA, no leverage.
