Denise Shull, the real-life inspiration behind Wendy Rhoades on the hit show Billions, joins Bettor Thinking to revolutionize how you understand emotions in decision-making. As founder of The ReThink Group and author of “Market Mind Games,” Denise works with elite hedge fund managers and professional athletes to transform their relationship with feelings during high-pressure decisions.
In this paradigm-shifting conversation, Denise challenges conventional wisdom by revealing how properly understood emotions can be your greatest asset in trading and betting – not your weakness. She directly counters our previous guest Adam Robinson’s approach, arguing that intuition and emotional awareness are critical components of peak performance.
Key topics include:
• Why self-awareness is the #1 trait of successful traders
• How to build and maintain “psychological capital”
• Techniques to distinguish between intuition and fear
• The surprising truth about information overload
• Practical methods to prevent overtrading and tilt
Whether you’re a sports bettor, trader, poker player, or anyone who makes decisions under pressure, Denise’s revolutionary approach to performance psychology will transform your relationship with risk.
