If you've ever wondered how elite competitiveness transfers from the rugby pitch to the trading floor, this one's for you. Founder and CEO Timothy Furey of Tradeview Markets joins host Mark Griffin for a candid, founder-first conversation about channeling pressure into performance, building truly scalable businesses, and leading a team that loves to win.

Tim traces his nearly 30-year journey from Merrill Lynch commodity broker to floor trader to launching one of the most recognized online brokerages. Along the way, he shares raw lessons on work ethic, momentum, and why "hungry dogs run faster."

Magic Moments that shaped Tim's path:

• The LA Gear spark: a teenage stock bet that ignited a lifetime in markets

• From 12th to 2nd on the depth chart: earning his shot through fearless effort and preparation

• The Tradeview moment: walking away from unfair treatment and starting his own firm

What you'll learn:

• How to convert stress and pressure into clarity, action, and results

• Why momentum matters more than ideas—and how to build it daily

• Scalability vs. replicability: the simple test Tim uses to evaluate any business

• Hiring for drive, resilience, and ownership to power growth

• Building "businesses within the business" — turning internal tools into new revenue

• Boundaries that protect performance: family first, fitness as a competitive edge
