The podcast features two traders, Chris and Peter, who discuss their backgrounds and approaches to trading. Chris got into trading as a summer job in 1980 and was hired for his non-traditional background and ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Peter, on the other hand, got into trading out of fascination with the dynamic nature of capital flows and as a way to challenge himself. Both Chris and Peter come from Buddhist backgrounds and incorporate mindfulness and meditation into their trading.
