Be You. Get Paid.

Conversations with creators... who are having conversations that matter! My guests are all examples of their work. They are successfully monetising their interests, knowledge, passions, expertise and experience through businesses and brands they’ve built themselves from scratch. They also happen to be sharing valuable, relevant information and contributing to our collective progress as humans. My goal is to showcase the vast opportunity that exists for anyone listening, to do the same. In many conversations, we discuss the role Bitcoin has to play in this brave new world - one that is being built on a system of meritocracy. A system designed to reward individual creativity and contribution. ***DISCLAIMER*** Any opinions expressed on this podcast are my own and the personal views of my respective guests. This content is for conversational, educational and entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as financial or investment advice.

21 is a magic number...

...if you're a Bitcoiner 🧡

"Wealth, to me, really means just having control over my time and spending time with people I care about. I thought I was gonna be travelling all over the world. For a long time I felt like I should be travelling, because that's what people that are successful creators do. Now that I'm here I don't really wanna do any of that. Like I like traveling, sure, but like what I really wanna do is nap, I wanna nap...!&q...

"So often what we end up having, are these pro-women spaces led by women that hate men, or these pro-men spaces led by men that hate women. And so I think that when people end up finding a channel where one sex gives a sh*t about the opposite sex without hating their own sex, it feels good! It feels good - they're like, FINALLY!"

“The opportunity to earn a living online doing something that you love and that you are passionate about, that that is meaningful that you would do anyway whether you are being paid or not. 

And then having the opportunity to generate that cashflow and very easily put it into an asset class like Bitcoin… Drives a huge amount of hope..”

"I got a message from a friend of mine just as I was hitting a thousand followers on Twitter and she went "congrats on a thousand followers". And I went "ha ha ha, because she's got 18,000 followers, right. But she came back and she said, yeah, but the first thousand to the hardest.

"For a long time I didn't have the confidence to say out loud what I wanted to say or publish any writing. It's not even that I didn't have the confidence - it's just that I didn't want to be faced with backlash. I thought that it was best to keep what I thought to myself and it just got to a point - and this was only 6months ago - where I was just like 'Fuck - I can't keep it in any more - I...

"My opinion on the environment is - if it IS degrading - we have all the tools at our fingertips to fix it. We know exactly what to do - but do we want to do it? All these little things that the environment movement wants to talk about- they're not the hill to die on. For me it's that we need to get more animals grazing on land, we need to be shifting to nuclear power - there's a few really obvious things to me....

"How many people do you know that have lived their entire life, raised good children etc etc and are now "down-sizing" later on in their life? You should be up-sizing in the later part of your life because that's the celebration of your life. You should be up-sizing, making space for more grandchildren etc etc - thats' what people should be doing but they're not because the fiat system incentivises peo...

"It took me a long time to figure out that it wasn't the wine that I was necessarily passionate about. I like the business, but what it gives me is... I'm really passionate about the connection between people, the connection between place and food and everything that wine brings as a connector. It's not necessarily the wine that I'm passionate about. I'm passionate about all the things that wine brings...

"So it's not school, exactly, at home - where it's like "this is your teacher, these are your books - good luck!" It's like ok - well we have to learn math. We need to know some math - math is important for almost anything you do, because you have to understand your finances and if you're in to Bitcoin, you have to understand how the world works. You have to understand how interest works and all t...

"I inherited wealth in my twenties. My father sadly died of a heart attack January 1st 2009 - completely out of the blue - aged 48. 18months later we sold our family home which had been in the family for three generations. I was the eldest son but I didn't see a future there for us, for me particularly. So, for at least the last ten years I've been trying to figure out how to protect wealth over time. I came across B...

"I remember hitting the pavement, guns over us and I was like "Australia, Australia, Australia - let's make this happen..." What I always stress to people is that I'm the 1% - 99% of people don't have the skills or the money to be able to immigrate. I've got quite a different relationship with money - I look at money now as freedom and optionality - that's really the equation."

"We're having a societal problem where - in the UK - it's been shown that 8million adults are taking an SSRI - so over 10% of the population are having to take medication for their anxiety and depression. It's fine if it works but that's a huge number and it suggests a bigger problem with society..."

"Everyday people shouldn't need a degree in finance to beat inflation and that's what a lot of people have to do. What's really tragic, is us wage earners are conditioned to believe that our home is our most prized possession. And through these tumultuous times whereby interest rates are starting to rise and people are over-indebted, you will try and protect that home at all costs..."

"I think what's more important is that people work on things that they actually give a shit about - this doesn't mean they need to be an entrepreneur but they can learn a lot from the entrepreneurial mode of being. Entrepreneurs solve problems. Even if you're not the owner of the business, you can take an entrepreneurial approach to what you're doing in a business if you give a shit!"

"The reality is (and I work with a lot of CEOs of big companies) there's been times where I've received phone calls from someone - who I would look up to as successful - and they're so uncertain with where they are in life and what they're doing. They have noone to talk to - they're even more isolated that they have to put on this mask of what society says we should be and what we shouldn't be. Ma...

"Money is a tool to experience our creative capacity... A lot of people are still programmed in that outdated time for money exchange. Wealth is the chair that I'm sitting on, wealth is the house that I'm living in, wealth is the cafe I go in to and see the exchange of money. Wealth is EVERYWHERE."

Ash on the crypto market: "I hate being known as an influencer... but I think I'm different. At the end of the day, I don't need the money. Bitcoin is king. Then you've got innovation - I'd say that's 2% of the market and then 98% of the market is literally scam..."
