Hearts On Fire | PMM 17
In this episode of PMM, Jon & Max reflect on what the show has been, what it is, and where they want to take it next. They talk candidly about ditching rigid prep and Bitcoin-only rails to embrace broader, real‑world building: skills, tools, community, and practical sovereignty. From Jon's first local educational event with Fundamentals and Shadrach, to celebrating the high‑functioning doers in the Meshtadel, the focus is shifting toward action over theory—featuring people who actually build things, run businesses, and strengthen local resilience.

Ungovernable Podcasting | The Confab 26: Barry & ChadF
In this episode of The Confab, Max sits down with Barry (Podhome) and ChadF to chart where independent podcasting is headed and why Podcasting 2.0 still matters. They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wild—from Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhome’s ethos (don’t deplatform lawful speech), its all‑in features for creators, and what’s next on the product roadmap. ChadF traces the lineage from No Agenda to today’s Podcast Index, explains the messy reality of wallets, Keysend vs LNURL, and why onboarding listeners is the real nut to crack. Max, Barry and ChadF also cover chapters and artwork as creative glue, treating your show like a business without expecting it to pay the bills, and why word‑of‑mouth still grows the best shows. If you were ever wanting to start a podcast, then there's some really good advice to get going.ChadF closes with his recent “vibe coding” builds, including a self‑hosted music player for The Doerfels and his StableKraft app that curates value‑for‑value music into a proper listening experience—all pushing the open, independent future we want to see.HELP GET SAMOURAI A PARDONSIGN THE PETITION ----> https://www.change.org/p/stand-up-for-freedom-pardon-the-innocent-coders-jailed-for-building-privacy-tools

We All Eat | The Confab 25: Chet
In this confab, Max catches up with Chet—long-time friend of the show, pleb miner mafia stalwart, and one of the most hands-on mining pioneers around. We reflect on the evolution from pleb to pioneer, the value of craft mastery, and the realities of living like a “mining monk” to keep uptime high. Chet opens up about humility in markets, his thesis on used miner pricing, why community matters more than adulation, and how building a circular economy means choosing who you spend your sats with. We dig into balance, burnout, OPSEC trade-offs, and finding purpose beyond number go up—whether that’s family, fitness, or a well-built deck at home.Max and Chet also dive into gas mining as the next scrappy frontier, mineral rights and licenses, and how Big Tech’s energy appetite will reshape competition. On the privacy front, they discuss Ashigaru’s rebirth of the Samurai-style toolset (including its new Whirlpool), practical wallet setups with Cake Wallet and node linking, and the importance of meetups like Lake Satoshi for real-world learning. It’s a candid, wide-ranging chat on building, belonging, and the grind required to make Bitcoin living, not just Bitcoin listening.VALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com

Prepping for Pole Shift | The Confab 24: Business Cat
Max sits down for a proper chat with Business Cat—cohost of Rock Paper Bitcoin and founder of the Central PA Bitcoin Meetup—to unpack his big thesis: cyclical pole shifts and what that could mean for human survival. We explore physical evidence claims (from Arctic fossil layers and flash-frozen mammoths to wave erosion on ancient structures), the mechanics of geomagnetic excursions and potential crustal movement, and why some modern elites might be digging underground or racing to space. Business Cat outlines a pragmatic, hopeful preparedness mindset: focus on high ground, redundancy (including floating platforms), skills, community, and sovereignty—while noting why Bitcoiners, with their self-reliance and antifragile tech instincts, are unusually well placed for turbulent decades ahead.We also touch homeschooling, meetups, and practical steps for resilience: food, water, tools, fitness, neighbourly collaboration, and measured use of sats to build capability. Whether or not you buy the full pole-shift model, it’s an engaging framework for long-term thinking, with pointers to dig deeper. A glass-half-full take on uncomfortable possibilities—and a call to prepare without becoming paralysed.BUSINESS CAT: https://x.com/_business_cat

Governments are Legal Fiction | THE CONFAB 16: Badders
Welcome back to another episode of The Confab. This episode, I catch up with my good friend, Badders, who is not only the creator of our podcast's intro music but also a return guest and colleague from our time at 21ism. Badders and I explore the concept of sovereignty and the idea of separating oneself from government control. We discuss the notion of the government as a legal fiction, a corporate entity that operates through trickery and deception, and how individuals can potentially extricate themselves from this system. Badders shares his journey of living a self-sustainable life in rural South of France, where he and his family have embraced a lifestyle of independence and connection with nature. We also touch upon the darker aspects of history and the influence of powerful families and organizations that have shaped the current global system. Badders shares his insights from diving deep into various historical and conspiracy theories, exploring the roots of satanic freemasonry, mind control, and the manipulation of global events by elite families. It's a conversation that challenges the status quo and encourages listeners to explore these topics further, offering a glimpse into the potential for a life of true freedom and independence.https://www.thesovereignproject.live/
