Limit Up! has got a new look. In our survey last year, the overwhelming consensus was that listeners were interested in more trader education. That’s why this week Jack and Dan are talking to trading legend, Dan Hodgman Sr. Dan has talked in the past about growing up with a trader for a father and this week you’ll hear from the man himself.

Dan Hodgman Sr. discusses how the landscape of trading has changed, how he was able to build a balanced life for himself within the trading industry, and the mentorship that informed his years on the floor. Dan also talks about what risk really means and why you should never think of treasury bonds as money. Listen to the episode for tips and wisdom from a trading veteran.
