🎙️ Episode 8 – Flow State and Cultivating Agency

In this episode of Risk On, Ben dives into one of the most counterintuitive truths in trading: the harder you try, the worse your results can get. Welcome to The Performance Paradox - where effort becomes the enemy of flow, over-optimisation ruins your models, and intuition quietly holds the key to long-term success.

We explore:

🔹 The psychology of flow states and how ease - not effort - drives elite performance

🔹 Why over-optimising your strategy can destroy its real-world resilience

🔹 The neuroscience of gut feelings and how top traders leverage intuitive intelligence

🔹 How to train your “trading instinct” while managing emotions and avoiding mental noise

🔹 The hidden blocks that stop your intuition from showing up when you need it most
