012: Modern Medicine Was Built on Lies (What Big Pharma Won't Tell You)
Épisode 12
mercredi 16 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:40:12
They want you sick on purpose.
The government doesn't want you well. It wants you dependent.
In this episode, Adam O'Brien sits down with John and Nadja from Born To Be Free; a husband and wife who walked away from processed food, pharmaceuticals, and the default medical system to build a life rooted in faith, family, and self-reliance.
They get into why big pharma profits when you're sick instead of healthy, why the birth control pill and modern obstetrics were built to make women feel powerless over their own bodies, how losing everything can still leave you rich if you have your faith and your family, and why "being hard to kill" might be the most important thing a man can teach his children.
This is a conversation about sovereignty; over your body, your money, your time, and your soul. In a system built to take all four from you.

011: They Can Freeze Your Bank Account with George Bodine
Épisode 11
lundi 7 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:20:25
George Bodine has lived enough lives for five men: a cop, a miner, a fighter pilot, a father of five, and he's not done.
In this episode, George and Adam get into what it actually takes to build a life on hard work and conviction when almost everything around you is designed to make that harder: a jobs market quietly being hollowed out by AI, a government that's lied to your face and called you crazy for noticing, inflation eating your savings faster than you can earn it back, and a financial system that can freeze what's yours with one phone call.
George doesn't theorize about any of this, he's lived through the moments that taught him to trust himself over the system, and he explains exactly why that matters more now than it ever has.
This is a conversation about family, faith, and the discipline it takes to stay sovereign in a world that keeps asking you not to.

010: The Most Educated Generation In History Knows Nothing | Matt Hill
Épisode 10
jeudi 3 septembre 2026 • Durée 01:57:57
The most educated generation in history doesn't know anything, and Matt Hill from Start9 says that's not an accident, it's the point.
School was never built to make you smart, it was built to make you obedient, and he's got the receipts, from his own kids' education to the moment he realized his Ivy League professors sounded exactly like the guy who wrote Mein Kampf.
This conversation goes places most interviews won't. Why curiosity gets beaten out of kids on purpose. What it actually looks like to raise three kids with zero lessons and zero homework. And the night everything he believed got tested for real, standing on an IDF base while a bus thirty feet in front of him got bombed.
If you've ever wondered why the smartest generation in history feels the dumbest, this is the episode that explains why.

09: Why Bitcoiners Find Christ | Jimmy Song
Épisode 9
mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:27:39
What is the connection between Bitcoin and Christianity?
There's a pattern in Bitcoin nobody talks about: skeptical, first-principles thinkers keep walking themselves into Christianity, often after years of study. Jimmy is one of Bitcoin's most respected technical voices, an early developer, author of Programming Bitcoin, and co-author of Thank God for Bitcoin, which puts him in a rare position to explain why this keeps happening.
I wanted his honest take on it. Not the surface-level orange-pill version, the deeper one.
His answer starts with what he calls little-t truth pills. You learn that the monetary system lied to you. Then you start questioning the food, the medicine, the experts, and the education system. Eventually, you run out of small lies to expose, and you hit the big one.
We also get into Rene Girard's scapegoat mechanism and how it explains losing VP candidates, the difference between judges and kings in Scripture, why debt sits uneasily with a sound-money worldview, and the one barrier Jimmy thinks stops most Bitcoiners from going the full distance.

08: The Sovereign Strategies We All Need: Bitcoin, Flag Theory & Second Passport | Katie CitizenX
Épisode 8
mardi 23 juin 2026 • Durée 01:32:40
Katie was denied visa after visa as a national team athlete, while her teammates walked through. That rejection built Plan B Passport.
Most people think a second passport is a luxury. Katie the Russian, founder of Plan B Passport and now CMO at CitizenX, treats it like a Bitcoin custody plan for your identity. Her work helping Bitcoiners and high net worth individuals build out flag theory comes from lived experience.
She grew up in post-Soviet Russia, lived through two hyperinflations before 20, and was repeatedly denied visas as a national team athlete. That's what made her the passport chick. Her framework is simple: figure out the attack vectors, then stack flags accordingly. Bitcoiners already do this with seed phrases and inheritance. Borders are the next layer.
The conversation goes deeper than I expected. Her predictions on the fall of the EU, the fourth turning we're inside right now, and why El Salvador may be the first country out of crisis are worth sitting with. Her view on marriage, raising three kids including one with cerebral palsy, and the overlap between the Bitcoin journey and the Jesus journey changed how I'm thinking about a few things.

07: The Future of Bitcoin, Fiat Currency & Schooling with Daniel Prince
Épisode 7
mardi 9 juin 2026 • Durée 02:10:04
Are we ruining Bitcoin by centralizing it?
In this episode, I chat with Daniel Prince, a British Bitcoin podcaster, author, and digital nomad known for sharing how Bitcoin reshapes real lives. We get into how homeschooling, unschooling, and world schooling challenge the traditional education system, and why lived experience often teaches more than any textbook.
We also get into spirituality and the Bible, including how you can actually trust it and why that matters when you start questioning bigger systems. I reflect on how following incentives changes how you see everything from Bitcoin and financial systems, to health conversations around vitamin B3 niacin and natural light.
Daniel shares how stepping away from conventional paths led him to rethink parenting, learning, and what freedom actually looks like for a family. This conversation hit close to home as I navigate homeschool vs public school, screen time, and raising kids who can think for themselves.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[03:06] Who actually owns the science, and what they do with it
[10:38] Why Daniel walked away from a 15-year forex career to travel the world with his kids

06: Why Bitcoin Is The Only System That Can't Be Corrupted By Power | Tomer Strolight
Épisode 6
mardi 26 mai 2026 • Durée 01:50:26
Can Bitcoin really protect humans from corruption?
Nobody tells you that the worst sentiment in Bitcoin's history arrived right alongside the best fundamentals on paper. Governments buying, institutions stacking, every business able to accept it, and yet the mood feels like a funeral. Tomer Strolight has a theory about why, and it starts with what new buyers were never taught.
Most systems of law punish you after you break the rules. Bitcoin won't let you break them in the first place. That single distinction reshapes everything, from how we think about governance to why politicians accumulate wealth that their salaries can't explain.
Tomer spent a decade as a convinced atheist building a career in corporate boardrooms. Then depression, psychedelics, and a deep study of Bitcoin's design pulled him somewhere he never expected to go. The guy who once dismissed faith ended up being baptized in the Atlantic Ocean at a Bitcoin conference.
This conversation covers civilizational decay, the aligned incentives that make Bitcoin ungovernable, why democracy might be the god that failed, and what happens when a philosopher stops fighting the idea that the universe has a creator.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[01:56] What Bitcoin cycles, the Ethereum hard fork, and Satoshi's sacrifice all have in common
[13:27] Why Bitcoin's incentives make cheating the system impossible
[17:05] Free will vs. predestination: why God had no choice but to give us one
[21:32] Why a Holocaust-era family and the 2008 bailouts destroyed his faith in Western institutions
At some point, every system breaks when people stop thinking for themselves.
I’m joined by Julian Figueroa, a bitcoin educator and filmmaker known for turning complex ideas around hard money and self-custody into content people actually stick with. We keep coming back to the same underlying problem: what happens when you stop thinking from first principles and start outsourcing judgment, whether that’s to AI writing tools, authority figures, or the crowd.
There’s a clear difference between content built on conviction and content that’s engineered to perform, and that gap shows up in everything from content creation to how ideas spread. The same pattern starts to appear in unexpected places: how people treat Bitcoin, how they think about privacy, even how belief systems form and fracture over time.
At a certain point, the question stops being about tools or strategy and becomes about responsibility… Who's actually doing the thinking?
Somewhere between the pressure of the YouTube algorithm, the pull of certainty, and the temptation to defer, there’s a line that’s easy to cross and hard to notice.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[06:11] Why AI can't replace a writer who thinks from scratch, and what strong conviction has to do with it
[14:33] What it actually takes to make a Bitcoin video go viral
[28:30] Why the Bitcoin philosophers who never spend it are missing the point
[37:21] Bitcoin's privacy problem, and why it matters more than most Bitcoiners admit
[40:57] The three types of governments that will exist on a Bitcoin standard
04: The Biblical Roots of Bitcoin, Taxes & Decentralization | Alin Armstrong
Épisode 4
mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 01:31:16
What happens when faith collides with politics, economics, and questions about authority?
What starts as a casual chat about hockey fandom and Canadian rivalries quickly opens the door to something bigger: the tension between government power, personal freedom, and what the Bible actually teaches about authority. I’m joined by Alin Armstrong (Pastor Coin), who focuses on helping the church understand Bitcoin and why it matters for the future of money and freedom.
I wrestle with questions many believers are asking right now. Verses like Romans 13 are often used to argue that Christians must submit to the state, but what happens when government actions start crossing into areas many people believe belong to the church or to individual conscience?
We connect those questions to Bitcoin, free markets, and the argument that decentralization may lead to stronger and healthier societies than centralized control. Along the way, the story of the Tower of Babel raises a deeper issue: why humans repeatedly build systems of power that place authority in human hands instead of God’s.
If you’ve been thinking about the intersection of Christian theology, government authority, Bitcoin, and decentralization, this episode raises questions that may challenge how you see all of it.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[08:26] Why pastors are becoming more politically engaged, and what the Bible actually says about it
[17:12] The biblical origin of centralized government, from Babel to Israel's kings to the gospel
[31:17] Romans 13 as a slavery text, and why "maximize Jesus, minimize Caesar" is the biblical
03: Bitcoin, Silver & Demons with Roberto Rios
Épisode 3
mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 01:28:38
Do we have proof that angels and demons exist?
Roberto Rios, a macro thinker and Bitcoiner, joins me to connect central banking, elite corruption, and what he believes is the spiritual dimension behind power itself.
We move from macroeconomics and investing into the darker implications of the Epstein files, blackmail networks, and systemic compromise. The conversation challenges the idea that corruption is random, suggesting instead that centralized institutions (financial, political, and cultural) may reflect deeper forces at work.
Questions of spiritual warfare, free will, and demonic influence surface as we examine why power structures persist and why reform often fails. Material explanations alone may not fully account for the patterns we see in global finance and governance.
Bitcoin is about more than money. It's about power, control, and the spiritual forces behind them.
You’ll Learn:
[00:00] Introduction
[17:12] Carnivore diet, oxalate inflammation, and why modern produce is nothing like ancient food
[33:07] Bitcoiners, Christianity, and whether atheism requires more faith than theism
[40:30] Epstein's Baal bank account, satanic ritual in the files, and elites summoning demonic power
[43:40] Demons feed off human emotion, every deal backfires, and elites keep making them anyway
[50:57] Epstein's blackmail ring, Trump's compromise, and CERN as evidence of coordinated elite capture
[55:54] Three true stories of demonic influence
