Description
Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan break down why most people have no idea what they're actually worth—and how Lossdog's upcoming software finally gives you a real number. A college student asks how to figure out his starting salary with an applied math degree, a trader wants to know if 7-10% monthly returns are realistic (spoiler: they're not), and the hosts get into prop trading firms, position management when trades go sideways, and why they'd never invest in companies they morally disagree with. Plus: the marshmallow test is overrated, and the Bears finally beat the Packers.

The job market in 2026 is shifting fast, and most workers still have no framework for understanding their true market value. Whether you're a recent grad trying to land your first role or a mid-career professional wondering if you're underpaid, the same problem keeps coming up: nobody teaches you how to calculate what you're worth. That's the gap Lossdog is built to fill. This episode also gets real about trading expectations—why shooting for 100% annual returns usually leads to blown accounts, and what a sustainable target actually looks like.
