Over the past 2.5 years, I’ve been doing coaching business owners and leaders One thing I’ve noticed is how often underestimated the value of coaching conversations can be Having that non-biased perspective creates an opportunity to offload challenges, mental hurdles, and get those thoughts reflected to gain more clarity to overcome them There’s a lot of power in those conversations. If you’re in a similar position, don’t overlook them #Thought #Leader #Coaching #Nostr

Lately, I’ve been diving into the people and projects that inspired Bitcoin I’ve been fascinated with Friedrich Hayek’s work, the Austrian economist The screenshot below is from his 1974 book on the denationalization of money Hayek argued against the monopoly on money, advocating instead where both private and public entities could create different forms of currency, believing that the free market should determine which form of money best meets individuals’ needs His work has given me a more broader perspective of Bitcoin and ‘crypto’. Representing the free market of money literally unfolding before our eyes, where individuals now have that power to choose What fascinates me most is how Hayek dedicated his life to getting his economic theory to be broadly accepted, and now years after his passing, is organically doing so #Thought #Hayak #Economics #Money #Bitcoin #Nostr

Whenever I have a little out of the ordinary moment, I always appreciate looking into the spiritual side of it. I’m a big believer in forces of the universe and energies #Thought #Nostr #Travel #Family

Trying to find some peace of mind Move about the day slower. Stop thinking about what’s next. Take time from the noise. Sit with the thoughts. Ask the important questions #Life #Thought #Nostr

January Project 🪟 This one has been a bit more challenging, as it requires extra attention to detail! I took a road trip to the stained glass supply store and had a great time picking out new tools and exploring the wide variety of glass they had to offer Within the week, I’ll be parting ways with my corporate consulting job to focus fully on something that’s been feeding my soul and allowing me to play more Excited to see where this journey takes me! #Nostr #Bitcoin #Art #Artisan #Canada

Really enjoyed the end-to-end process of making this stained glass piece I’ve spent a lot of my life over the recent years working and creating digitally - so it brings me joy to work with my hands and create in the physical realm I’ve found it difficult to find creative outlets that get me out of my head and into a state of flow, so I’m looking forward to where this one may take me #Thought #Nostr #Creativity #Art #Relay

Finished an 8-month client project today, contracting for a global energy company in Texas I coached business leads on organizing and rallying their people behind a vision, and helping them get there The project gave me incredible growth on coaching individuals in a high pressure, capital-focused environments. And better yet, it gave me tremendous personal growth It helped me see clearly what am I aligned to, what fills my cup and what energy I want to give to the world and how I wish to go about doing so There were stressful moments, more than I can count on 10 fingers. Long working hours, extensive time away from home, thousands of KM away from friends and family But I am truly grateful to be closing out the book on this chapter. It’s been a great read I have no idea what life lessons the next chapter will bring, but I am very much looking forward to them #Reflection #Nostr #Thought #Life #Coaching

I love me some egg nog during a Canadian December #Nostr #nostalgia #childhood

The best performing company over the last 4 years is using debt to buy more #Bitcoin The largest #BitcoinMining company is using debt to buy more #Bitcoin Are you paying attention? If so, then maybe it isn’t the worst play to take out debt of your own to buy #Bitcoin Good old game of follow the leader #Nostr #Fiat #Debt #Bonds #Mining #MSTR #MARA

I was paying $11 for this same bottle at the start of the year This is why I save in #Bitcoin And why whenever I notice a drastic drop in my purchasing power like this, I #buy more #Bitcoin #Inflation #DirtyGov #Fiat

A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined submitting my resignation letter from my stable and high-paying job as a management consultant, but today, I did Understanding sound money has opened my eyes to the bubble I have been living in, the hamster wheel. It has given me more clarity and mental freedom than ever before Knowing that my money, the time and I energy I have given to the world, will retain its value overtime, gives me the peace of mind to step away from the endless chase for more Now, I’m ready to slow the pace of life down and focus on things that fill my soul #Bitcoin #Nostr #SoundMoney #BitcoinStandard #Money #Value #Life #Soul

Measuring humanity’s #advancement by its ability to harness as much energy as possible from its planet A concept introduced by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964, known as the Kardashev Scale This scale suggests that the more #energy a civilization can extract from its planet, the more advanced it becomes I find this idea fascinating when considering #Bitcoin and #BitcoinMining. To remain profitable, #miners must continuously find the most cost-reductive ways to harness energy from Earth, keeping pace with the growing processing power required for mining In this way, Bitcoin mining acts as a catalyst for harnessing Earth’s abundant energy resources, helping us advance towards energy mastery and evolving our position in the scale #Nostr #Thought #Evolution #Advancement

About to leave my stable consulting job and pursue the art of making stained glass window installations Saving in #Bitcoin has made me question how I spend my time here on this Earth If my money is deflationary and the hamster wheel begins to slow its pace, the next logical step is to do some soul searching and find what really fills the cup #Bitcoin #Nostr #Art #Life #Love

Heard a very interesting perspective today to fathom the potential magnitude of each #Bitcoin purchase you make.. see which year your purchase amount will be the #BTC block reward Example, if you purchase $500 today, that will be the block reward in 2060 So I’m 35 years your $500 could be as valuable as the block reward today Something to think about to give perspective to each allocation you make #nostr #thought #wealth

“The magical play of life goes on, and you may contribute a verse” Love this Whitman quote, brought more attention by Robin Williams in the Dead Poet’s Society, a movie I habitually watch every October Life will continue once your days have passed. What mark do you want to leave in this world? How will you give the world your true self with your time here? Some questions I continuously ponder #thought #life #bitcoin #nostr #art #movies

A Saturday morning thought in bed I believe that artisans and creators are going to become more and more prominent as we move into the future The AI revolution has the possibility of taking away many jobs. Couple that with a deflationary currency that creates more abundance over less scarcity What do you get? A society of inherently creative creatures, not needing to run on the treadmill to make ends meet, but rather seeking refuge in work to find peace of mind and soul Maybe this is just me being an idealist and a craftsmen at heart But I believe history moves in cycles, it burns previous ways of living to the ground and restores itself into something greater Just a #thought #bitcoin #nostr #art #deflationary #currency #saturday

My grandmother passed away recently. She was an amazing woman and our relationship was something special This grievance period has been interesting. I have found myself putting my emotional energy into areas of life which surprised me. While other areas of my life I haven’t bothered putting much energy into at all I found that when you experience a period of such intense emotions, two things to pay attention to; i. How, and what you choose to transmute your emotional energy towards ii. What aspects of your feel of lesser importance and which aspects of higher Often these difficult periods can reveal hidden aspects of your true self coming out, as you are leading with emotion over logic Think about a time that was difficult for you emotionally. What did you spend your time doing to feel better? How did you transfer that energy? What parts of your life could you care less about? Something to think about #thought #emotion #energy #guide #bitcoin #nostr

I would say I’m a spiritual person A wise woman once said to me; ‘When you not in alignment with who you are meant to be, it creates friction. The friction may be minuscule, but try to pay attention to see if your energy is out of sorts’ ‘if your energy is out of sorts’, speaks to moments when you don’t quite feel like you Perhaps it’s anger, perhaps exhaustion, perhaps cynicism coming to the surface When you look at things in the form of inputs and outputs and alignment of energy, it can sound complex, but can actually reduce complexity It can subtly inform you if you’re spending your days here aligned with who you are meant to be What outputs/energy are you receiving from your inputs? Is this energy vibrating smoothly, or is there friction/ disruption? Quite spiritual, I know. But in a world where religion increasingly fades, we need certain perspectives to help us simplify the complexities of life and purpose #thought #energy #vibrations #alignment #bitcoin #nostr #spiritual

I moved 2,500km from my partner, family and friends for a work project In that first week of moving, I was Orange Pilled, going down a deep rabbit hole Since then, I’ve spent 6 months in partial solitude, away from those whose thoughts influence most, which has had its difficult moments However, when you combine; + getting orange pilled + a mind in solitude away from influence + a work project for a highly capital driven, Fortune10 company You get = a realization of what truly matters to you in life This temporary move has been quite difficult to navigate, dampening the relationship with my partner However the mental, emotional, spiritual awakening that has been achieved, makes it feel like this was meant to be Just a little glimpse into my life #thought #story #bitcoin #nostr #realization #orangepill #awakening
