This podcast is for the traders, hustlers, founders, and creators who don’t run from pain… they use it. Hosted by a day trader who’s lived both sides of the chart — blown accounts, sleepless nights, and the thrill of green days — this is a raw conversation about what it really takes to win.
Each episode dives into the truth behind success:
The losses no one posts.
The strategies that actually work.
Mindset, money, discipline, and risk.
Real stories from entrepreneurs, traders, and builders who turned pain into profit.
No fluff. No fake motivation. Just real people, real lessons, and the blueprint to keep moving forward.
Welcome to the Pain & Profit Podcast — where we embrace both, and build anyway.

In this episode of Pain & Profit: Trader Mastermind, Tony and Mike sit down with a prop firm futures trader, Dee Futures, whose journey into the markets started in an unexpected place of survival.

But like most traders, the road wasn’t smooth. From turning a $300 account into $6,000 (and realizing it was more luck than skill)...

Trading the Journey, Not the P/L: Building the Trader You Want to Be & Trading with A Purpose
This Thanksgiving week brought slow markets, low volume, and a whole lot of reflection. In this episode, we dive into the deeper side of trading — discipline, purpose, ego, and the journey of becoming the trader you want to be. Tony opens up about wrestling with his “why” and forgetting the purpose behind why he trades. He talks about creating a Trader’s Creed — something he can recite daily to keep him aligned, disciplined, and intentional before entering the market. Holiday markets expose b...

The Market Doesn’t Love You: Psychology Over Strategy & Keeping Traders in the Game
In this episode of the Pain & Profit Podcast, we go deep into the psychology behind trading — and why most traders never make it. We open by breaking down our theories on why Bitcoin is tanking and how that ripples through larger markets. But the real story for us as traders isn’t about the charts…it’s about how the human mind reacts when real money is on the line. Mike shares how he can make great returns in a combine practice account but doesn’t care about it nearly as much as his live ...

The Unhinged Episode: Crypto Pain, Blown Funded Prop Firm Accounts & The State of Big Tech Bullsh*t in America

From there, we dive straight into the trading trenches. Tony just took his first swing at a prop firm combine…and blew the account on Day 1. Even though he’s become a disciplined trader on his personal account, the combine felt like a video gam...

Whether you’re behind the charts or running pay...

Risk vs. Reward: The Pain You Pay for the Profit You Want

After a tough red day in the market, Mike opens up about how losses test your mindset and your process. We talk about what happens when discipline collides with emotion, and how understanding your max loss and cutting trades early can be the difference between surviving the day or blowing up your account. We break down real trader topics in this ep...

In this episode of the Pain & Profit Podcast, Tony and Mike dig into what it really means to live the life of a trader — not the highlight reel, but the grind that most people can’t stomach. We start off breaking down this week’s market action from a retail trader’s perspective — our theories on how the market moves, how big money plays the game, and why the market isn’t your friend. We touch on market efficiency, fair value, and equilibrium, encouraging you to do your own research and fo...

The Beginning of the Grind to the 0.01%
In the very first episode of the Pain & Profit Podcast, we lay the foundation for what this movement is all about. This isn’t a technical breakdown of charts or trade setups — it’s a raw conversation between two traders on the same battlefield but fighting in different ways. Tony is a day trader. Mike is a swing trader. But both wake up every day and choose the same path: embracing the pain, chasing the profit, and refusing to settle for average. We talk about: The wins and losses from th...
