Show Notes
<p>In this episode of Sat Chats, we meet Laurel—a powerhouse entrepreneur, Squishmallows brand-builder, and the founder of Fabric VC. She’s been smashing business wins for decades and got her first Bitcoin back when it was under $5,000… but after she had to make a drastic decision.</p>
<p>Laurel shares how she DCA’ed back into Bitcoin, the FOMO that pushed her, and how she balances high-risk VC plays with building a rock-solid investment foundation. We talk gender and risk tolerance, financial independence, and how she’s gently orange-pilling her engineer husband.</p>
<p>We cover:</p>
<p>✅ What it's like to lead Bassett Furniture at age 26</p>
<p>✅ The psychology of risk and how it plays out in couples</p>
<p>✅ How Bitcoin outperformed her VC fund, but why she still diversifies</p>
<p>✅ Using Bitcoin like a savings account for entrepreneurs</p>
<p>✅ Her bold theory about a future government altcoin</p>
<p>✅ How Laurel allocates her assets like a fortress</p>
<p>✅ Why she thinks women are “catching up” in finance—and why it matters</p>
