I met TC from @TheRoadToOneBTC to hear about his relatively recent journey into Bitcoin and how it’s transformed his views on money, savings, and the broader financial system. He shared early memories of inflation and how they led him to question the fiat system, recently discovering Bitcoin as a more trustworthy alternative. We discussed the challenges of introducing Bitcoin to friends and family, navigating pensions, and the shift in mindset required to think beyond traditional savings strategies.TC also reflected on how Bitcoin has influenced his daily habits - from spending decisions to long-term financial planning - and how it’s reshaped his views on housing, ownership, and generational wealth. As we wrapped up, he spoke about Bitcoin’s growing role in society and how it’s helped him reframe his beliefs, entering a new chapter with greater clarity and intention.Unfortunately I experienced some technical issues in the latter part of the conversation which did result in some glitchy video and affected the flow of conversation a little (all my side - I hope that doesn't spoil your enjoyment!)

In this episode, I speak with Claire Prince of Women of Bitcoin about how Bitcoin has transformed her family’s life. We dive into her journey—from saving and investing, to homeschooling, navigating regulations in France, and raising kids with a deep understanding of financial sovereignty.

Claire shares how Bitcoin has reshaped their approach to education, travel, health, and self-sovereignty. We also explore its power to empower women, spark critical thinking, and inspire a more intentional lifestyle. Claire’s story is a powerful example of how Bitcoin is much more than money—it’s a way of life.

In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Myers, a fascinating mind with a rich background in trad fi and Bitcoin.

We start by diving into his early memories of money and the formative influences that shaped his understanding of value.

Jesse unpacks how Bitcoin could radically impact future generations and reshape global wealth distribution, drawing powerful analogies from history. We also discuss the surprising ways the so-called “Yuppie Elite” are beginning to warm up to Bitcoin and what that means for broader adoption.

Jesse has a compelling take on the future of FIAT, and that it might take longer than 'maxis' think for FIAT to collapse.

Later in the episode, we talk about his role in Smarter Web Company. We also touch on how Bitcoin treasury companies are navigating volatility, and why their strategies matter more than ever.

I loved our chat and could have carried on talking to Jesse for at least another hour - I hope you enjoye it as much as I did.

In this episode, I sit down with Nav to dive deep into his journey with Bitcoin—how it began, how it evolved, and how it continues to shape his worldview. We start by talking about his upbringing and early influences around money, work ethic, and responsibility, which laid the groundwork for his later interest in economics.

Nav shares how his study of economic principles led him to discover Bitcoin and how it completely shifted his perspective on value and finance. What makes Nav’s story unique is how he connects Bitcoin not just to economics, but also to spirituality—particularly the teachings of Sikhism. We explore powerful parallels between decentralisation, sovereignty, and the historical role of gold in Sikh history, and how those ideas naturally align with Bitcoin.
