Top Marathoner, Ken Rideout, On Making Money, Dealing With Addiction, And Mental Toughness

back in like the late nineties, Trading Desk was like a locker room. It was very like Alpha driven. Um a lot of hazing and shit. But I mean, I was at the time boxing for the New York Athletic Club. I had played hockey. I mean I was I worked in a prison for four years.

So these nerds were hazing me and one day I just cuffed the guy. I just slapped him across the face and almost knocked him out of his seat. And needless to say, they fired me. But I was covering these young guys at Enron and they told the senior traders what had happened. And one of the senior traders who happened to be from Mars Vineyard outside of Boston called me up, said hey, I got a job I didn't even know we had competitors. That's how naive I was. I didn't know there were other brokerage shops. I was there like two months and um

I mean I barely knew what a bidden and offer was. And um this other competitor offered me a job starting the next Monday. We get right into this. Ken. Uh Thanks for coming, man. I uh do you know at all what you're getting into or no? Yeah, yeah. I heard uh Andrew Huberman on the show, my friend Andrew.
