Welcome to a very special milestone—Episode 150 of the AlphaMind Podcast. To celebrate this achievement, we’ve recorded an extraordinary episode with one of the most successful and respected private traders in the trading sphere: Mark Minervini.

Over the years, Mark—also featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards—has been a top request from our listeners. We’re thrilled to finally sit down with him and explore the mindset, perspectives, and strategies that have powered his remarkable 45-year trading career.

In this episode, Mark generously shares his personal journey, starting from very humble beginnings. Growing up in poverty, dropping out of school early, and initially pursuing a career in music, Mark's path was anything but conventional. He recounts his early years filled with failures, blow-ups, and account losses—a recurring pattern in his first five years in the markets. Yet through perseverance, he developed the processes, mindset, and attitudes that ultimately created his success.

Mark’s story is an inspiring testament to resilience, process development, and a winning philosophy—one he now shares broadly through his writings, mentoring, and educational programs. His insights have helped countless traders start with their own capital and realize their dreams of success.

We’re honoured to present this in-depth conversation with Mark Minervini, whose experience and wisdom continue to inspire traders worldwide.

Welcome to episode 149 of the AlphaMind Podcast. Unlike most episodes that feature seasoned traders with decades of experience, today we’re delighted to speak with Blayn Marshall, someone who is still in the early chapters of his trading career, navigating the initial challenges and lessons that come with it.

Blayn began his trading journey facing the common hurdles many new private and retail traders encounter—initial losses, steep learning curves, and the pursuit of
consistency. Recognizing the potential of automation and systematic strategies
in today’s landscape, he has shifted his focus toward building multiple
automated trading systems. Using a disciplined, low-risk approach, he is now
starting to see the rewards of his efforts.

What makes this conversation particularly fascinating is gaining insights from
someone who is starting out in a very different environment—one shaped by the
technological advancements and abundant resources of the 2020s. The
opportunities, tools, and access to information available today create new
doors and perspectives that simply weren’t possible even a decade ago, or when
most of us began.

We hope you enjoy this fresh, insightful discussion with Blayn Marshall.
