The money system is broken — and most people don’t even realize it.
Every year, your dollars lose value and inflation keeps eating away at your hard-earned savings.
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my business partner Bryce, who has spent years going all-in on Bitcoin, to break down:
• What money really is
• The history of fiat, gold, and the Federal Reserve
• Why the current financial system is failing (fractional reserve banking and inflation)
• How Bitcoin works — its history, blockchain technology, mining, and supply cap
• Why Bitcoin may not just be an investment…but the inevitable replacement for the system we rely on today
Whether you’re brand new to Bitcoin or already investing, this episode gives you the full picture of where money is headed and how you can prepare.

Most entrepreneurs think scaling a business means doing MORE — more products, more people, more pressure.
But the truth? Doing LESS is the real key to growth.
In this episode, we sit down with Blake Erickson, co-author of The Science of Scaling, who shares how he sold everything, cut out every distraction, and went all-in on one business with no Plan B.
The result? A playbook for entrepreneurs who want to simplify their path, scale faster, and build true wealth.
You’ll discover:
• Why chasing too many opportunities is the biggest growth killer
• How Blake risked $1M to prove his all-in strategy
• The power of raising your “floor” and saying no to good things for great things
• The mindset shift every entrepreneur needs to scale past 7–8 figures
If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin or stuck trying to grow your business, this conversation will change how you think about scaling.
