The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Do you think the fear of failure is stronger on Wall Street as a hedge fund manager or as a business owner?

A The feedback loop on Wall Street is massive. It's the quickest feedback. Your, your nervous system is getting attacked constantly. So I would have to tip my head to wall street traders and PMs. I think it's a little harder because you are dealing with massive uncertainty at all times. So, you know, as a wall street guy, you gotta be comfortable with uncertainty and confident in your behavior because you could have everything right and be massively wrong. So am I as stressed as I am, as I used to be on Wall Street? The answer is no. However, I'm still allowed to be overwhelmed because I want to build something that creates impact. But I will not, my Wall Street days, I am much healthier than I've ever been. Being a trainer at PM is not easy. It's a very challenging profession.

Q In a sea of coaches, how do you stand out? What is different about you and your message and your process that makes people want to work with you over someone else?

A I think a lot of coaches live in the world of positive psychology. And Sean, I'm the opposite. So I believe that we don't have an app that tells us when obstacles, hurdles, challenges, and emergencies happen. So we live in a camp of opportunistic reality. So we prepare when things go bad, right? Cause my clients, I call them my team. So people that I coach, I call my team are always ready. So for us, emotions are data. We're in the, we're in the camp of behavioral change, right? That's what we're constantly doing. So what makes us different is that we are not Always wishing for a beautiful day. We're ready for any moment. So it's, it's almost like, it's almost like a, uh, like a jaguar in the brush, right? Where that aggressive patience, you could feel your heart. So we really marry the why, why do we do what we do? And how, how does the brain really work? So we put that together. So in moments of chaos, my people are ready to strike. Period. The end. But it's science-based. Everything I do is science-based. It's not fluff. It's not positive psychology. Obviously, positive psychology and positive attitude are different things. But we are always ready to strike. And I really believe in times of chaos is what differentiates everybody.
