M1 mental trading academy

I've been trading for over fifteen years and thought I had my mental game figured out. I was wrong. When I started working with Evan, I realized how many blind spots I'd been operating with. I'd built a successful career, but I was doing it with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Fear of giving back profits would cause me to tighten up right when I should have been pressing my edge. Then I'd watch the move happen without me and feel frustrated, which would lead to forcing trades later just to feel like I was doing something. Evan helped me untangle all of that. We went deep into the underlying beliefs driving those patterns and built new frameworks for how I approach risk. I now have a pre-market routine that gets me centered, and I've developed the ability to pause in high-stakes moments. My consistency has improved dramatically.

I run a trading desk and I'm responsible for both my own P&L and the performance of my team. I thought being wound tight was just part of the job. What I didn't see was how it was affecting my decision-making and my leadership. Evan helped me completely reframe my relationship with pressure. We worked on nervous system regulation techniques that I use throughout the trading day. What surprised me most was how much our work improved my leadership. I'm calmer now. I create more psychological safety for my team, which has made them more willing to take smart risks. The culture has shifted.

Crypto markets don't close. That used to mean I didn't either. I was glued to charts at 3am, making impulsive decisions on no sleep, and burning out fast. Evan helped me develop boundaries and a structured decision-making framework that actually works in 24/7 markets. I've learned to distinguish between a real opportunity and my nervous system screaming at me to do something. My returns have improved, but more importantly, I have my life back.

I've read all the trading psychology books. I knew the concepts. But there's a massive gap between knowing and doing. Evan helped me close that gap. He has this ability to pinpoint exactly where your process breaks down under pressure and then build systems to address it. I'm now much more deliberate about when I take risks and when I step away. That clarity has translated directly into better risk-adjusted returns for my fund.

Working with Evan has been a game changer. He helped me build a mindset to leverage the emotions that come up while trading as useful signals instead of reacting to them. I now have integrated many, many pearls of wisdom into my daily approach—as an example—I now consistently take a step back and create space during moments of market stress to down regulate my nervous system and then see the market more clearly. Evan inspires you to dig deep and challenge your prior ways of thinking. I highly recommend working with Evan.

As someone who’s always driven to perform at the highest level, it’s easy to stay in motion but not always in alignment. Evan helped me step back, reframe my thinking, and integrate my goals with my daily execution in a much more strategic way. What I appreciate most is his ability to challenge me directly while supporting my growth—it’s not just generic motivation, it’s tailored, tactical, and focused on real outcomes. I’ve seen a significant improvement in how I show up for my team and my family.
