In this episode I spoke with Scott Dedels—author of The Dao of Bitcoin and founder of Block Rewards—who's delved deep into how Daoist thinking can smooth the roller‑coaster that is life. He recounts how a basketball coach’s gift, The Tao of the Jump Shot, sparked a lifelong study of Daoism, which later merged with his work in the corporate world, and his discovery of Bitcoin as a tool to reclaim “time” from inflationary, attention‑draining systems. By practicing the Daoist middle‑path—doing enough without over‑forcing—Scott helped to teach me how to stay calm amid price swings, avoid the trap of endless consumption, and focus on what truly matters. He also explains Block Rewards, a B2B SaaS business that he's building, and a company with huge potential. 0:17 Scott on his second Bitcoin book and Block Rewards 2:09 The origin of Daoism in Scott's life 5:42 Mapping Bitcoin as a thing of nature 7:20 Bitcoin as a life raft or source of frustration 11:08 Scott on his "fiat career" and Daoist lens 14:30 The historical context of Daoism 20:53 Universal truths and approach to conflict 24:18 Bitcoin, Daoism, and the theft of time 31:11 Solving the wealth problem with Bitcoin 41:42 Block Rewards: Making money in and around Bitcoin If you want to reach out to Scott: Nostr: npub1eawxwqldulz8rn80jug6n63seyn8pwelm9mmu7rdt622lfj7am9qgem0rx BlockRewards: https://blockrewards.ca/ If you want to reach out to me: Nostr: npub1ltz38gwwmmg740r5qlqjn96gth5thv5wmhkwlgqks9lu3485q7jsy6k4fh Email: hi@jakewoodhouse.io Website: https://jakewoodhouse.io/ If you want to give value-4-value: Via Fountain: boosts and all streams are split 50% with the guest Via Nostr: zaps always welcome Thank you Best, Jake

In this conversation I spoke with Contra, and dove deep into the concept of a “thought‑criminal”, - anyone who refuses to let algorithms and institutional “thought‑police” dictate what they believe or share. Using a recent Nostr post as a springboard, we explored why the emerging Purpleverse of Nostr, combined with Bitcoin’s monetary sovereignty, offers a practical antidote to the outrage‑driven, profit‑first models of legacy social media. Keep an ear out for insights into Contra's personal evolution - from a turbulent childhood, and a stint in the military, to a family‑centered life grounded in faith - showing how each stage sharpened his awareness of systemic control, and sparked a quest for genuine freedom.

In this episode I spoke with Jeff G, it was fascinating, and lived up to all my expectations. In a world where private messaging is still vulnerable to metadata harvesting and single‑point failures, Jeff explains how Nostr’s relay‑based architecture and true end‑to‑end encryption can finally give users control over their own conversations. He also reveals a sustainable, non‑profit model that keeps the service free from ads and corporate pressure; critical for building truly censorship‑resistant communication tools. Tune in to learn the technical breakthroughs and the roadmap that could reshape digital privacy over the next year.

To kick off the New Year in style, I have an episode of the highest quality for you, with Jesse Shrader. If you ever wonder "what is actually being built on top of Bitcoin?" then look no further. I asked Jesse: "Why would it be useful to have Stablecoins on the Lightning Network?" "If Bitcoin is like Gold, do you think the lightning network is like using Bronze?" "How many Lightning nodes exist?" "How many Lightning channels exist?" "What kind of volume can the Lightning Network do?" "Are you doing a financing round?" "How does Amboss make money?" "Did you ever expect to be in the position you're in today?"

This episode covered a topic I love: capital. Tune in to learn from Rev Hodl, who with a permaculture lens, runs us through how he grows, manages, and protects multiple forms of capital, all at the same time. I asked Rev: "What is capital?" "How does permaculture look to develop savings?" "How bullish are you?" "Where are we in the adoption curve?" "Do you like to make experiments?" "What is a mad scientist?" "How does permaculture approach debt?" "What does a day look like when you're managing a homestead?"

In today's episode I am speaking with Dan Ostermayer MD. It's a true "mind-bender" of a conversation, digging into some recent scientific research that re-ignites the age-old discussion between Germ Theory and Terrain Theory. I asked Dan: "What was the recent research that caught your attention?" "Through your medical education did you even discuss terrain theory?" "Are vaccinations pointless?" "Could you envisage any major change to the system?" "What is your day job like?" "How did you come across Bitcoin?" "How many other people have you managed to persuade Bitcoin is a good idea?" "How excited are you about the future?"

Today's episode is with BTC BACKPACKER. I am sure you'll enjoy this just as much as I did. A great example of Nostr doing a brilliant job at connecting people, helping them share their story, and work towards their vision of life. I asked: "What are you working on right now that you're most excited about?" "Was homeschooling something that came along as part of the process?" "What do you think was the root cause of your wife's cancer?" "What did the Bitcoin journey make you learn?" "How important from a position of decision-making power was it to be debt free?" "How did you start learning about Bitcoin?" "Have you created a process that you go through to create content?" "What does homeschooling mean to you?"

In this episode I speak with my energetics mentor Jason Parks. I asked: How did you came across the concept of humanistic, intellectual, and financial capital? Can you go deeper on what exactly you mean by humanistic capital? What is the idea of energy transmutation? What does it mean to be a spiritual mentor? Can you explain the universal laws? Is it true that you can manifest anything you want? When you reference the "divine", or "consciousness", what do you mean by that? Who are you ever competing against other than yourself? What did it feel like to be "rock-bottom"? Why is understanding energetics so important?

What if modern medicine was built on a lie? I break down the forgotten debate between Germ Theory and Terrain Theory, how politics and profit shaped which one won, and how you can apply this to your life today. I cover this history of Germ and Terrain theory, the Flexner Report’s role in centralizing medical education, the rise of Big Pharma, how broken incentives have distorted science, and how focusing on the body’s “terrain” leads to real health, sovereignty, and resilience.

I share what I learned from my wife’s home births, how to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally, and why so much of the fear around home birth is based on misinformation.
