  Welcome to a very special milestone—Episode 150 of the AlphaMind Podcast. To celebrate this achievement, we’ve recorded an extraordinary episode with one of the most successful and respected private traders in the trading sphere: Mark Minervini. Over the years, Mark—also featured in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards—has been a top request from our listeners. We’re thrilled to finally sit down with him and explore the mindset, perspectives, and strategies that have powered his remarkable 45-year trading career. In this episode, Mark generously shares his personal journey, starting from very humble beginnings. Growing up in poverty, dropping out of school early, and initially pursuing a career in music, Mark's path was anything but conventional. He recounts his early years filled with failures, blow-ups, and account losses—a recurring pattern in his first five years in the markets. Yet through perseverance, he developed the processes, mindset, and attitudes that ultimately created his success. Mark’s story is an inspiring testament to resilience, process development, and a winning philosophy—one he now shares broadly through his writings, mentoring, and educational programs. His insights have helped countless traders start with their own capital and realize their dreams of success. We’re honoured to present this in-depth conversation with Mark Minervini, whose experience and wisdom continue to inspire traders worldwide. You can learn more about Mark, his services, and his educational programs—including his Master Trader Program and Superperformance Workshop at the links below:Website: www.minervini.com  X: https://x.com/markminerviniMaster Trader Program & Superperformance Workshop Details: https://mtp.minervini.com/  Review of the Master Trader Program: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/67f3a87b5ea94c2111bbc838/6845ba2f8a93f372dca3466a_mtp-review.pdf AlphaMind: Powering Performance in Global MarketsAlphaMind brings powerful change, growth and development to people and businesses within global markets.Driven by a deep understanding of how markets work, and how people and businesses function within them, we partner with clients to create personal performance improvements that elevate returns across their trading activities.Go to the AlphaMind website to know more.
