Today, we’re talking about Type A personalities. If you’re driven, competitive, and goal-oriented, then you’re part of the club that often struggles during difficult markets. When things get tough, your instinct is to work harder, push more, and fix the problem. But in investing, that instinct can sometimes backfire.

In this episode, Trent and Brandon break down a list of hard-hitting questions made famous by CNBC’s Josh Brown, designed to challenge the habits and headspace of high-achieving, Type A investors. From sky-high expectations to the instinct to jump in and out of the market, they get real about what works and what backfires when markets get shaky. Trent shares why taking control doesn’t mean constantly making moves, and Brandon digs into how patience (plus a little math) can save you from yourself. You might be surprised to learn about the risks you think you're taking versus the ones you're actually exposed to.
