Hi - I’m John Shilling. I help advantage risk takers stress less and make more.

I have had a salary for 1 year of the 33 I have been on this planet

And I hated that year...

The other 15 years I was earning money, I was taking calculated risks. (Some people call this investing lol)

My career arc went poker ➜ trading ➜ poker ➜ sports betting (current)

Eat what you kill, take money and turn it into more money - the exciting part of these professions

Stress, volatility, and uncertainty - the less fun parts

Over 15 years I have wrangled the good and bad parts of advantage risk taking into a stable and fulfilling life.

Now I want to share with you how I did it - and how you can make a little extra money or have a career as a professional gambler (I mean investor...)
