    LIFE IN THE PITS with Brad Schaeffer, The Final Cut Premiere

    Step inside the legendary exchange floors of Chicago and New York through the eyes of author and former trader Brad Schaeffer. In this riveting conversation with Tom Dutta, Brad relives his journey from a young artist with a knack for numbers to a seasoned trader in one of the most cut-throat environments ever known. His book Life in the Pits is both memoir and mirror, a tribute to an era when markets were moved by shouts and heartbeats, not algorithms. But it's also a reflection on life's real markets: risk, loss, redemption, and meaning. Tom and Brad discuss how grief and discipline intertwine, how the instincts that drive us in competition can also teach compassion, and why stories of the past still inform how we lead today. An essential listen for anyone drawn to finance, psychology, or the art of staying grounded when the world starts shouting. 🎙️ Host: Tom Dutta, Executive Producer of The Quiet Warrior Show 📖 Guest: Brad Schaeffer, Author, Trader, Musician #QuietWarriorShow #LifeInThePits #BradSchaeffer #Finance #Leadership #Resilience #Courage #Storytelling #Podcast #FinalCut #Premiere #HeroJourney #Trading #HumanSpirit

    EP#273 The Backstories And The Worlds Within: W. (Walter) B.J. Williams

    🎧 AUDIO DEBUT What happens when a man who should have been decapitated becomes a bestselling author, InfoSec executive, and guide through hell? W.B.J. Williams survived August 5, 1986, barely. Half a ton of plywood, a concrete floor, and a steel table saw that bent instead of beheading him. Today he lives with a hole in his spine and constant debilitating pain. He's also the published author of five books, including the darkly comedic "Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War," which weaves Sumerian mythology with addiction recovery. This isn't a typical author interview. It's a journey through Plato's Garden—Tom Dutta's signature framework exploring how macro forces, industry trends, and personal trauma shape public works. You'll hear: • The harrowing details of Walt's 1986 accident and 40-year journey with chronic pain  • How he met his wife one month after the accident, while using a walker, and they've been together 33 years • Why his father's battle with alcoholism shaped his novel about addiction and the Goddess of Love • How his father became the first ordained deacon in his diocese after losing Walt's sister to SIDS • The profound challenge of Jesus's teaching: "Love your enemies, not just your neighbours" • Why Walt writes about broken prostitutes, addicts, and goddesses seeking redemption  • How he balances demanding InfoSec work (never experiencing ransomware or breach) with writing fantasy epics  • The journey from writing poetry at age 12 to becoming an Amazon Breakthrough Novel semi-finalist • Why Hollywood producers are shopping "The Garden at the Roof of the World" for a three-season TV series • His philosophy: "It's okay to be broken, that's not something to shy away from" Walt's Five Books: Johnny Talon and the Goddess of Love and War (2024) The Reality, Mythology, and Fantasies of Unicorns (2021) How to Create an Information Security Program from Scratch (2021) The Garden at the Roof of the World (2013) Security for Service Oriented Architectures (2014) This conversation explores addiction, faith, resilience, authenticity, and the grace found in brokenness. From Catholic mysticism to Sumerian goddesses, from chronic pain to darkly comedic fiction, Walt proves our deepest wounds become our greatest gifts. Trigger Warning: Frank discussions of addiction, suicidal ideation, chronic pain, and childhood trauma. First-time audio release of this transformative conversation.
