Really enjoyed the post. I’ve been struggling a lot with point 5. I know the kind of rewards that come from collaborating on projects (which are necessary if you’re serious), but it’s a bit like dating trying to find someone who’s as intense or motivated as you are. How did you find others?

I created tradingpod.info about a month ago out of frustration over a weekend. It still needs some redefining, but it’s good for now.

Thanks man. And I agree 100%. It’s very hard to find like minded people. Like minded is seriousness/effort and style.

What a good idea! I’d be willing to share it over my socials when you are done with it if you want.

Thank you for the offer. I’ve made it more stable now and added a few things. I feel like this could help a lot of people in the space get a foot in the door faster. It reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcHlw6x0XK8

I’d really appreciate it if you could share it if you come across people with the same problem, or maybe even on your socials.

Very fair point. I think it’s good as it is. Simple and effective. I’ll share it sometime in the next few days

Yea man I can share it. Just one question/ suggestion, would it be worth adding an experience column too? Like how long they’ve been in the space? Up to you

Yes, I thought about that too. When I used to play competitive games, this was always a big thing how long someone played, and people forming a prejudice based on how long someone was in the game. So I don’t think it’s the best proxy for how involved someone is or how much they know. If people want that, they could just state it directly in their expectations. But I like the suggestions. If you have more ideas or criticism, just tell me.
