When the market turns red, your emotions become your worst enemy. Most investors think they're disciplined until their portfolio drops 20% and the "SELL" button starts flashing. In this episode, we're giving you the psychological toolkit to not just survive a market crash, but to thrive in it. We'll show you how to master your fear, spot value when others are panicking, and understand the real game you're playing.

Here's what you'll learn:
