The game is rigged. You've heard it your whole life. Wall Street has the data. The little guy can't win. The system is built for the rich to get richer.
All of it is true. None of it matters.
Because you can't run in the Victim Olympics and take home a gold medal in wealth. The two activities cancel each other out.
In this episode of Finding Peak, I sit down with Chris Sain — self-made multi-millionaire trader, retired at 35, bestselling author, and the leader of one of the largest financial communities in the country. Chris is the millionaire next door. He wears a hat. He drives a used car. He talks plain. And he's spent the last decade teaching everyday people how to actually win in a market designed to shake them out.
Inside this conversation:
- Why your friends might be the single biggest tax on your wealth
- The "trick, trap, and frustrate" pattern Wall Street uses on retail investors — and how to spot it
- Why you should invest in leaders, not logos (and the two CEOs Chris is betting on right now)
- The psychology of holding when everyone around you is panic-selling
- How Chris built an empire of 1M+ followers by showing up 7 days a week — wins and losses
If you're a leader, founder, or operator who's tired of the victim narrative and ready to actually build, this is your playbook.
Play it anyway. And win.
This is the way.

Why financial literacy? Why that topic?

We have a poor relationship with money. You can't run to the victim Olympics around here.

I think it's okay to say, "I don't wanna hang around with someone who talks so negatively about themselves and refuses to change."
Chris Sain· Guest1:02
I don't have time to go hang with Pookie and Ray Ray and have these low level, low vibration conversations. I'm the millionaire next door. You wouldn't know that I'm a multimillionaire. The game may be rigged, and even if it is, you have to learn how to play the game. We're not a get rich quick scheme community.
