My conversation with Jeremy weaves together money, career, purpose, and Bitcoin. We start with his early influences on financial thinking and trace his path from law to coaching, exploring how those transitions shaped his approach to life and work.

Jeremy shares how he discovered Bitcoin and why it became such a pivotal part of his worldview—not just as an investment, but as a reflection of deeper principles like conviction, risk, and long-term thinking. We also dive into his coaching journey, the misconceptions around following your passion, and how he thinks about helping people find their ikigai—that sweet spot where purpose and practicality meet.

Throughout the conversation, we touch on themes like independence, curiosity, human potential, and what it means to build a life aligned with your values. Whether you're curious about Bitcoin, career shifts, or the inner workings of great coaching conversations, there’s a lot to take away from this one.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lynne about her incredible journey from a career on Wall Street to becoming a passionate advocate for Bitcoin. We started by talking about her early memories of money and how those experiences shaped her path into finance.

Lynne opens up about the moment she started questioning the system she'd spent years working in, and how her fascination with the technology behind Bitcoin pulled her in deeper. She talks candidly about the importance of self-custody, and the personal growth that came with stepping away from Wall Street.

We also explore how Bitcoin has shifted her values, the challenges she’s faced along the way, and her vision for where things are heading—from innovations in infrastructure and micropayments to the surprising ways Bitcoin and AI might intersect.

Lynne brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective to the conversation, and it was inspiring to hear her views and vision!

I meet Adam who has lead the way in Thames Ditton onboarding shops and vendors to get onboard with accepting Bitcoin payments.

"Bitcoin Pizza Day" is Thursday 22 May, marking the anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction in 2010, when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz famously spent 10,000 BTC (yes, really!) on two pizzas, highlighting BTC's first step into everyday commerce.

If you can, get along to Thames Ditton and support this great initiative to help raise awareness of Bitcoin to the public, the media and businesses throughout the UK in a positive and progressive way.

In this episode, I catch up with Joe Bryan to dive into his fascinating journey from studying physics to navigating the high-stakes world of investment banking. Joe opens up about his childhood, the teachers who left a mark, and what eventually led him to Bitcoin.

Joe shares how his perspective has evolved—from traditional finance to rethinking pensions, freedom, and the role Bitcoin might play in shaping a better future. It’s a thoughtful, honest conversation with someone who’s lived through big transitions and come out with clarity and conviction.

In this episode, I spoke with James Dewar about his journey from traditional finance into the world of Bitcoin.

He shared early money memories, how his views evolved over time, and the role adaptability and failure played in shaping his career.

I've been listening to Bram's podcast - Bitcoin for Millennials - for a while now, so I was delighted when Bram agreed to be a guest on Bitcoin & Me.

My conversation with Bram didn't disappoint - he has a fascinating story to tell about his route into learning what real money is and how our current system is not backed by real money, plus we explored his journey through entrepreneurial activity in and around technology startups.

I met Jaden 'in real life' only last week but have been chatting with him for a while in a Bitcoin Telegram group - I thought his story would be an interesting one and was keen to have him on to help give more age diversity to my guest profile! At 23 he has maturity well beyond his years, demonstrating a curious mind and an eagerness for independent thinking.
