My guest today is Erik Wahl, the author of “The Spark and The Grind,” “Unthink,” and “Unchain the Elephant.” Starting from an early age Erik was never encouraged in the arts but rather encouraged in his reading, writing and athletics. He believed that if he got straight A’s he would be successful later on in life. Things generally worked out for him–until the Dot-com bubble hit. He was devastated and realized he needed to figure out a new way to live.

The topics are his books The Spark and the Grind: Ignite the Power of Disciplined Creativity, Unthink: Rediscover Your Creative Genius and Unchain the Elephant: Reframe Your Thinking to Unleash Your Potential.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Dot-com bubble
  • 2008 crisis
  • Routine and structure
  • Misconceptions of overnight success
  • Embracing the grind
  • Mental agility

“I was very content with my trading success but it really had nothing to do with my knowledge, with my insight, with my acumen at reading markets. It had to do with everything was going north at that point until it went south, and it crushed me.” – Erik Wahl

“Structure creates freedom.” – Erik Wahl

“Growth and comfort cannot co-exist.” – Erik Wahl

“It’s not about the strategy–it’s about the human…”

Feedback in:

Good Morning Michael:

Pursuant to your request… “Has trend following changed your life in anyway?”

Enormously. I found your book 10 years ago and began studying it immediately. I had been an investor with multiple paths and little discipline. I am now (and have been for a while) a religious follower of trend following. It is a simple path, a disciplined path, to investing success. After reading the book 5 times I began to model trend following for stocks which I use today.

“Have you made money with trend following? If so, how much? Please be specific. I want to know if you’re taking full advantage of this powerful strategy.”

Yes. With your books I have been able to create a very process oriented approach for both equities and options. The disciplined learned through your writings has allowed me to “clean up” my past “investing” (not sure you can call it that) and get on the profitable road.

“Do you find this strategy difficult to execute?”

No. In my opinion it’s not about the strategy – it’s about the human. You gave me the map.

“Will you continue using this strategy?”

Yes. I am a passionate trend follower and have no intentions of leaving “the flock.”

Michael – Thank you. Your work, writings and passion have changed many lives or helped redirect us from where we were.

Have a great day.

Best,
[Name]

Thanks for the feedback!

“There is a man I think you should meet…”

Feedback in:

Michael, I play most of your podcast episodes and the one with Susan Peirce Thompson was the first one that I remember that showed your spiritual side. I was impressed. You may agree or not that it was spiritual it doesn’t really matter.

There is a man I think you should meet. His name is Vishen Lakhiani and he has written a book The Code Of The Extraordinary Mind and he has a company called Mind Valley. You might enjoy reading his book and finding out about Mind Valley. A lot of this is available on YouTube. I can see each of you interviewing each other separately.

Let me know what you think
