Know Your Risk Podcast
Hosted by Know Your Risk
A daily market analysis podcast where two professional money managers break down macro trends, geopolitics, and portfolio risk.
This is a daily market debrief from two active money managers who are transparent about their own portfolio positioning and performance. The hosts, Zach Abraham and Chase Taylor, analyze the day's price action through a lens of risk management, sentiment, and macroeconomic trends. They are notable for conducting real-time "post-mortems" on their own trades, discussing what they got wrong and the lessons learned, offering a practical rather than purely theoretical view of the markets.
“Its daily cadence, recorded near the market close, provides exceptional timeliness. What truly sets it apart is the hosts' willingness to publicly dissect their own trading performance, including their mistakes, which is rare in the financial podcasting space.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Host Zach Abraham employs a distinct interview method where he first lays out his own comprehensive analysis of a complex topic (like the geopolitical situation in Iran). He then turns to the expert guest with a challenging opening like, "Where do you think I'm wrong?" This invites immediate, substantive debate rather than a simple Q&A. The conversation is often divided into pre-announced thematic segments (e.g., Iran, then stablecoins, then the dollar). Co-host Chase Taylor actively participates, asking his own follow-up questions and offering pushback, making it a dynamic three-way discussion.
The show is primarily a two-host conversational format analyzing the day's market events. When an interview guest is featured, host Zach Abraham often opens by presenting his own detailed thesis on a topic and then asks the guest to critique or react to it, creating a structured, thesis-driven conversation.
