Speakers (Josh Trent and an abundance expert) discuss reframing the market as a living entity—"Mrs. Market"—an egregore composed of shared emotions and beliefs. Rather than trying to control or analytically dominate the market, the guest advocates listening and cultivating an ongoing relationship with it, combining left-brain analytics with right-brain practices (dreamwork, body symptom awareness, meditation, synchronicity) to systematically create insight/eureka moments for investing. The guest notes they built a course around these methods to help investors access non-rational information and detach from portfolios to gain perspective.
Chapters
Many people would have this experience of trying to work on a problem and then getting in the car and driving home. And then when they're listening to the radio and looking out the window, the answer pops. They're in the shower. Or they're in the shower or they're on vacation. Right. Yeah. What is actually happening? And how can I systematically create that on a daily basis to not have to wait for. For these eureka moments to spontaneously occur? You know, so I recognize that the market itself is alive, and I call her Mrs. Market. And. What? You know, that's just me having a relationship with her. But I. I started to realize that what if this was a being, a personality, a person? Maybe it is a collection of people, after all. It is a collection of emotions. It's a collection of. Of greed and shared desires, essentially. Fear. Yeah.
It's shared beliefs.
Yes. Or we put it essentially like an egregore. It's like a consciousness or like it's a belie. It's. But yeah, I started looking at it like it was a. Like a real being. Instead of waking up each day and trying to control her, trying to figure her out, which anyone who's been in a relationship with a. With a partner knows, like, you can't do that.
That might be the best wisdom on the whole pod right there.
Well, you can't. You can't.
You cannot try to control your woman.
Yeah. And vice versa. And so what do you do? You listen. You listen to her. She doesn't want you to tell her what to do. She wants you to listen to her. So what would it be like each day as an investor to do your regular work trying to figure it out. You do all of your analytics and things like that. Of course, for you with the podcast, you can do all the things you normally would do about figuring out where to put marketing or the search engine optimization.
What are people searching for?
But then recognize that you. You work for the Josh Trent podcast. You are not the podcast. You work for a being that you're in relationship with and imagining yourself in a dance with her and in bed with her. What are her limits and boundaries and desires? What are her emotions? She can take you to the highest of highs and she can rip your heart out and how to manage that and how to be in a tango with her instead of trying to figure her out all the time. You still do all that left brain work, but you open up to this right brain. So I've essentially created my entire course around that in terms of bringing in all the experiences that I kind of had but I didn't know what to call them and creating exercises using my dreams at night, paying attention to my body symptoms and how to interpret them as investing allies, how to look at the dreamlike level, how to look at synchronicities, how to look at all these different things, how to get into states of meditation where I can systematically detach from my portfolio to look at it from a different perspective as if I went on vacation without having to wait 50 weeks to go to Aruba to have the insight right to have it then in the moment recognizing that there is so much more information than we're typically accessing on a daily basis and it could actually help us make more money and give us more clarity on how we want to use and balance our life.
