How I Quit My 9-5, Doubled My Podcast, and Launched A Service To Help You Self-Custody Bitcoin Safely.

Before launching my podcast, 'Your Bitcoin Story,' I was working as a Client Relations Manager in the PR/Advertising industry.

Becoming a dad in early 2020, just before the global lockdowns, changed my life forever.

As the world shut down and money printers went into overdrive, the cost of living soared month by month.

In 2022, my wife and I welcomed our second baby girl.

So to keep up with rising expenses, I had no choice but to take on a second job.

I was working essentially two full-time roles in PR/Advertising.

It was a massive undertaking, but I did what I had to do for my family.

Then, in the summer of 2023, I launched my podcast, 'Your Bitcoin Story.'

Since starting my Bitcoin journey in mid-2017, I had always searched for ways to contribute to this space.

Balancing two full-time jobs while consistently recording and producing weekly podcast episodes—without missing a single week—was exhausting.

Add to that the responsibilities of raising two beautiful daughters and being a present husband, and it became overwhelming.

By the end of last year, I faced a crossroads.

Continue on the same path toward inevitable burnout or take a leap of faith and go all-in on and myself, bitcoin, and ultimately freedom.

I chose freedom.

Bitcoin gave me the opportunity to reclaim my time.

Years of disciplined DCA (dollar-cost averaging) since 2020 gave me the financial cushion to take this step.

Instead of giving my time away to corporations, I chose to invest in myself, my passion, and my future.

What’s Next?

Going full-time into Bitcoin has allowed me to focus on what I love most.

Connecting with people from all walks of life.

I’ve doubled down on my podcast, increasing production from one episode per week to two.

That’s 100 episodes annually.

But as much as I enjoy producing content, I know there’s more I can do to help people achieve true self-sovereignty.

That’s why I’m launching a Bitcoin Self-Custody Mentorship Program.

One of Bitcoin's greatest strengths is that it’s the first monetary network with a bearer asset that doesn’t require reliance on a trusted third party—using a custodian undermines the very purpose of this core innovation.

Too often, we see exchanges get hacked, shut down, or rug-pull their users, as we’ve seen with MTGOX, BlockFi, FTX and numerous others.

People lose their Bitcoin simply because they didn’t take the crucial step of securing their own keys.

However, taking Bitcoin into self-custody isn’t without risks, if you don’t know what you are doing, and taking the right precautions, you can lock yourself out of your Bitcoin and lose it forever.

That’s why its extremely important to have a robust self-custody solution in place, and regularly checking your setup, that everything is set up the way you intended.

Getting your coins off exchanges is just the first step.

Building a robust custody setup is just as important.

That’s where I come in.

Over the years, I’ve helped numerous family members and friends take their Bitcoin into self-custody.

Now, it’s time to help others do the same.

One-on-One Bitcoin Custody Mentorship

Offering a personalized mentorship program.

No group classes.

No one-size-fits-all approach.

Just you and me, working together at your pace over multiple video calls.

Whether you’re new to Bitcoin or have been stacking sats for years, I’ll guide you through:

- Choosing and using the right hardware wallet (HWW) for you

- Best practices for securely storing your seed phrase

- UTXO management to optimize privacy and efficiency

- Running a Bitcoin node for self-verification

- And much more…

Become Unruggable

The only thing standing between you and full Bitcoin sovereignty is your decision to take control.

If you’re ready to secure your Bitcoin and build generational wealth, sign up for my email list to learn more about my mentorship program.

Let’s work together to make your Bitcoin truly yours.

It’s time to become unruggable.

Hmmm šŸ¤” not able to zap this one, and definitely deserves some sats!!!

Seeing this I feel like we failed as a mankind šŸ˜‚ or at least some of us failed. And more serious now, you cannot save the sheep from being eaten by the wolf if it insists on wandering into the jaws of its own foolishness...

Thank you 😊 have a loooooovely day Stu

Hm. Interesting indeed. However two important points: I don’t really see the point in focusing on big shopping malls to check on adoption šŸ˜…ā€”especially with global corporations/brands that probably operate under specific regulations on their own. (My private experience in at least San Salvador was different, most of places did accept bitcoin). And sure, I don't like the statement 'who cares' about the recent IMF deal ... once you dig a bit deeper into the potential moves in this game and its future consequences, you realize maybe we *should* care šŸ™ƒ

Interesting video by nostr:npub1lr2zzf989mvf393y0tv39ara6a4vddkd6y87z784up9vl6ks6j3qtudl6a on where #Bitcoin merchant adoption in El Salvador stands today, especially in light of recent changes to the Bitcoin Law, reportedly influenced by IMF pressure. While the sample size is small—just 21 stores—it reveals some key takeaways. First, Chivo Wallet seems to have done more harm than good. Its poor user experience made rejecting Bitcoin payments easier, especially without proper education. For many merchants, a bad first impression became a lasting one.

Second, apathy toward the Bitcoin Law was evident among many profiled merchants. Whether this stemmed from poor implementation or a lack of education is unclear, though the latter likely played a bigger role.

Ultimately, while Bitcoin’s use is a personal choice, its true power lies in being a medium of exchange. If this function isn’t realized, fiat will likely evolve into #CBDCs—tightening financial control even further.

Check out the video and draw your own conclusions.

Haven't watched yet. The time is now šŸ˜Ž Thanks!

Yeah, her own breath smells better than fresh air—and sure doesn’t spread any germs šŸ˜…

Yeah, 'feel safe living in a ridiculous bubble'. Really this scene won't leave my brain for a while šŸ˜‚

32°C, outdoor pool, no crowds (not even the person lying next to you), WHY the f*ck would you be wearing a face diaper (i.e. mask)? Seriously WHY??? šŸ˜’
