Dr. Phil Pearlman — Take care of your body and mind to trade better
Our guest today is Dr. Phil Pearlman. Phil earned his doctorate in clinical psychology and has been involved in markets since the 1990s. He’s currently the chief behavioral officer at Osprey Funds and has held roles at Yahoo Finance, Stocktwits, and Bank of the Ozarks.
In this episode we talk about the importance of taking care of your body through good nutrition. Trading after all, is about performance and execution, so who wouldn’t want to get a leg up on their competition?
Phil shares insights on how to improve key cognitive skills, increase energy levels, regulate your emotions, and a whole lot more. He talks about the hard-wired skills of top performing traders, and why it’s so important to direct our attention to the things we can control.
You’re not going to get any fancy trading strategy tips in this episode, but if you want to live a healthier, higher performing lifestyle, then this one's for you.
Please enjoy this episode with Dr. Phil Pearlman.
