I don’t believe you must be a finance “pro” to invest well. Technical knowledge matters, but so do mindset, adaptability, and discipline — qualities you can build in many fields. Career switchers often bring fresh perspectives and problem-solving skills that insiders might miss.
On physical fitness, I think it helps. Investing can be mentally and physically draining, and stamina aids clear decision-making under pressure. You don’t need Olympic speed like Gwen Jorgensen or David Lazarus, but regular exercise can improve resilience and focus when markets get rough.
