In this episode, we sit down with Kam Dasani — a swing trader who walked away from a multi-six-figure tech career to build financial and location freedom on his own terms. Kam opens up about burning out so bad he ended up at Stanford Psychiatry, going $92K into debt to fund his own education, and losing six figures in a single trade by breaking his own rules. He breaks down how swing trading options works, how he turned $25K into $100K+ in one quarter, and why he believes the biggest risk most people take is playing it too safe.
