THE M1 DIFFERENCE

Built by a Trader.
Engineered for Capital.

"Most performance training fails because it's built for athletes or CEOs. In the markets, the feedback loop is a fluctuating P&L. That requires a different biological and cognitive architecture."

— Evan Marks, Founder
01

Institutional DNA

Evan’s background as a former Portfolio Manager and Trader means he understands the nuances of slippage, drawdown psychology, and the weight of managing third-party capital.

02

Exclusive Finance Focus

We do not work with athletes or general executives. Our protocols are built exclusively for the high-velocity, high-stakes environment of the capital markets.

03

Systems Over Motivation

We ignore "motivational speaking." We deploy biological conditioning and decision-hygiene systems that work even when your willpower is depleted by a volatile market.

OPERATIONAL CLARITY

Deployment FAQs.

01

Can we pilot this?

Yes. We typically initiate engagements with the Team Performance Diagnostic. This serves as a 4-week standalone pilot, providing a complete audit and roadmap before committing to a quarterly conditioning retainer.

02

Do you work under NDA?

Exclusively. We operate under strict confidentiality. We can provide our standard institutional NDA or review your firm’s specific compliance documentation prior to any technical briefing.

03

Do you train remote teams?

Our frameworks are built for global desks. We use a hybrid delivery model, combining high-impact virtual sessions with synchronized digital rituals to ensure execution consistency across multiple time zones.

04

What’s required internally?

Minimal disruption is our priority. We require access to key decision-makers for brief interviews and a transparent review of your current execution protocols. We build around your trading hours.
