Ep. 139 Real Conversations | Resilience & Winning Through Uncertainty w/ Sam Goodwin

from Hedgeye Podcasts · host Hedgeye Risk Management

We hosted a powerful "Real Conversation" between Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough and Sam Goodwin — bestselling author, keynote speaker, and global traveler turned hostage survivor. In 2019, Sam's quest to visit every country on Earth took a violent detour. He was abducted by the Syrian regime, accused of being a CIA spy, and threatened with being handed to ISIS for beheading. He survived, wrote about it, and turned the experience into a framework for thriving in chaos. In Sam's own words from Saving Sam: "After a twenty-minute ride, a Syrian military compound lined with barbed wire and concrete fences appeared out of nowhere in a field. We pulled in… As I got out, it dawned on me that they had all been waiting just for me." (pg. 30) Perspective matters. Markets will always test your comfort level — that’s how resilience is built. The best investors, like the strongest people, don’t fight uncertainty; they embrace it, adapt, and come out stronger on the other side. That is the heartbeat of Hedgeye's process, and it is the foundation of Sam's signature program, "Winning Through Uncertainty." In this timely conversation, Keith and Sam draw a straight line from surviving captivity to surviving markets. Get an investing edge on the enormous amount of money flowing into options every day, what they’re signaling, and the structural and behavioral trends driving markets higher or lower.
