If you follow me, you know my weekdays are long. I’m up at 4:45 a.m. ET because I have so much to do. Trading is a full-time job, and it’s a hard one that takes a lot of energy. But that’s not all I do. I also write a 1,200+ word Morning Note and record videos for Redler All-Access subscribers. I manage two active Twitter accounts, and I broadcast live on the VTF. Plus, I have to get to the gym every day, and of course — spend time with my family. So on Saturdays, I do what I call “feeding the brain” with videos that re-energize me.

Ray Lewis tells he story behind his #52 jersey number, and the power of effort: And finally, here’s a video not many people have seen.
