    Episode 9 : Jaden Lister

    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.

    Episode 8 : Nat Cole

    Nat's been in and around Bitcoin for years but is still developing wider adoption of Bitcoin in creative spaces and educational institutions alike. It was fascinating to hear some of the stories from 'back in the day', and my conversation with Nat gave me a different perspective on some of my previous views. I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did! Find me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/SmithyG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ NOSTR : npub1s3983eg8xthewgl0mzyvz5muxhgux0lkf253hanwggx8l4u8nz4sy3900l Find Nat: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/BigRpic

    Episode 7 : Dan Parkinson

    Dan opens up about his journey from chasing financial success to finding purpose through personal resilience and Bitcoin. He reflects on early money mindsets, the toll of high-pressure finance careers, and a breaking point that forced a life-changing transition. His time in Lebanon offered firsthand insight into the realities of hyperinflation and the strength of community under economic stress—experiences that reshaped his views on money and led him to explore Bitcoin as a tool for empowerment. Dan shares how he now integrates Bitcoin into his work as a financial coach, helping others build resilience, understand self-sovereignty, and plan for a rapidly changing economic future.

    Episode 6 : Susie Ward

    Susie is CEO of Bitcoin Policy UK and journalist for Forbes as well as being a wonderful human being! It was fascinating to hear about Susie's childhood and early adulthood experiences with money and how that set her on a different path to the 'norm'. We go on to discuss various societal and financial issues including the all important issue of the size of Curly Wurlys.

    Episode 5 : Robin Seyr

    I have been listening to Robin's daily (yes, daily!) Bitcoin podcast for a while now - before I'd even recorded a conversation he agreed to be a guest on my podcast; Bitcoiners are a generous bunch! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation - he was incredibly open about his early years, discovering Bitcoin only through trying to prove it was a scam and how Bitcoin has shaped his outlook on relationships and life in general. It was awesome having Robin as a guest, I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

    Episode 4 : Bitcoin Basics

    This is a detour from the usual conversations I have with fellow Bitcoiners. I appeared as a guest on 'Accountancy on Prescription' earlier this month - it's the podcast for RBP, an accountancy practice specialising in GPs. Increasinly GPs are asking about Bitcoin and 'Crypto', so I offered to help. I give a basic overview of money, Bitcoin, Crypto, how to buy and more. For someone very new to Bitcoin with limited knowledge I think you'll find it informative. For a seasoned Bitcoiner this might be one to skip - or maybe consider sending to a friend or family member you think might find it useful?

    Episode 3 : Dan Elston

    Dan shares his early memories of money and his experience of relocating to the USA. He discusses diversifying between Bitcoin and traditional assets, the concept of Coast FI, and navigating homeownership in high-cost areas. Beyond investing, Dan explores finding purpose beyond work, Bitcoin’s role in wealth preservation, and its potential for generational wealth. The conversation touches on political perceptions, self-sovereignty, and Bitcoin’s accessibility. Finally, Dan reflects on the happiness paradox, financial education, and how his beliefs about wealth have evolved over time.

    In this first ever episode, I sit down with Kieron for an open and personal conversation about his journey with money, Bitcoin, and the lessons he's learned along the way.
