Kyle Hedman Kyle is a self-employed trader, and co-host of the 2 Bulls in a China Shop podcast. His trading strategies include futures, swing and options trades, with a focus on chart analysis. He began his journey to becoming a full-time trader with an investment mindset and the goal of early retirement from his career. Kyle started his career in the US Navy, excelling in the academically demanding Naval Nuclear Power School program. He served his remaining years in the Navy as a submariner, with the job of electrician.When his service was completed, Kyle transitioned to the steel industry, where he maintained the electrical and automation systems used in steel manufacturing. Due to his work in this industry, Kyle is a big proponent of trade schools and other programs that get young people into trades that pay well and are in high demand.Very early in adulthood, while serving in the Navy, Kyle developed a plan for early retirement, with the goal of retiring before the age of 40. He began and maintained long-term investments, created passive income with rental properties, and maintained a debt-free lifestyle.Kyle had dabbled in stock trading, but had more of an investment mindset. In 2020, with lockdowns and more time on their hands, Kyle and his lifelong friend, Dan Leeson, started becoming more interested in active trading. They started talking daily about the trades they had made, what they were interested in, what they had learned, and what they had lost. They are both naturally self-deprecating, and as they laughed at their failures, they wondered whether anyone else would be interested in what they were doing, so they started a podcast to talk about it. The podcast opened doors to people, communities, and learning opportunities that changed everything. Kyle discovered his true passion in trading, learning, and the communities that he joined and helped create.In July 2021, Kyle retired from the steel industry to become a self-employed trader and podcaster. He reached his goal of retirement before the age of 40, and though he is now working harder than ever, he is able to do the thing he is most passionate about, and that is truly an achievement.	Guest
