The Jake Woodhouse Podcast

<p>On New Year's Day 2009 my dad died. Within two years I'd inherited capital I had no idea how to manage. What followed was 17 years of expensive decisions — wealth managers, angel investing, real estate, and Bitcoin, you name it, and I've had a crack at it, whilst recently I've been through a 60% drawdown that brought everything into sharp focus. This episode is the honest story of what happened, what it cost, and what I built from it. Including the text message exchange with a close friend — right at the hardest moment — that has became the foundation of everything I now share. Sound Money. Sound Mind. Sound Marriage. This is The Durable Man. If this resonates, please reach out: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p>

<p>In this episode of the podcast I was joined by Andi Pitt, a venture capitalist in the Bitcoin space, and former member of a cult. She discusses the concept of mind control, its prevalence in society, and its implications for individual cognitive sovereignty and democracy. This was a truly mind-bending conversation. We discussed cults and mind control, the Iranian regime, education as a tool for indoctrination, the idea of cognitive sovereignty, Bitcoin and personal freedom, VC in the Bitcoin industry today, and finally the impact of meditation with self-awareness. So much to learn from someone like Andi. </p> <p><strong>Timestamps:</strong> </p> <p><strong>0:00</strong> Introducing Andy and the topic of mind control </p> <p><strong>0:57</strong> Andy's experience growing up in a cult </p> <p><strong>5:56</strong> Finding a framework to understand the world </p> <p><strong>7:19</strong> Do evil people know what they're doing? </p> <p><strong>12:14</strong> Humans are programmable for survival </p> <p><strong>15:51</strong> Seeing mind control everywhere </p> <p><strong>20:08</strong> COVID-19 and global mind control </p> <p><strong>23:01</strong> Cognitive sovereignty and democracy </p> <p><strong>33:00</strong> The nuanced role of meditation </p> <p><strong>44:58</strong> The value of uncorrelated assets </p> <p><strong>Reach out to Andi:</strong></p> <p>Nostr: npub1tlvvdgm4csch9x3m0r3qsrll7zsaccl49c4gdz5qz9g3jz33l92ss4gp7z</p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/1andipitt">https://x.com/1andipitt</a></p> <p><strong>Reach out to me:</strong></p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Best</p> <p>Jake</p>

<p>In this episode I spoke with Roland. He run's me through how he's used OpenClaw, and Bitcoin, to create an open‑source personal assistant, that runs on its own LN‑VPS server, pays for AI model usage via Pay‑Per‑Q, and can autonomously spawn new agents to handle tasks like email, GitHub, and continuous research. He also explains how Alby’s self‑custodial Alby Hub ties all Lightning‑enabled apps together, making Bitcoin the native currency for everyday software. Listeners will learn how to boost productivity, automate workflows, and build Bitcoin‑first products using always‑on AI agents without sacrificing privacy. The future is already here, most just don't realise it yet…</p> <p><strong>Timestamps</strong>:</p> <p><strong>0:00</strong> Welcome and Roland's Bali Bitcoin Story </p> <p><strong>1:18</strong> The Rise of Open Claw </p> <p><strong>3:36</strong> Setting Up a GitHub Account for Open Claw </p> <p><strong>6:08</strong> Autonomous Agent Onboarding with Bitcoin </p> <p><strong>11:49</strong> AI as a Tool for Productivity </p> <p><strong>17:56</strong> AI, Sound Money, and Human Potential </p> <p><strong>20:05</strong> Open Claw: A Personal, Always-Online Agent </p> <p><strong>25:40</strong> How Roland Uses Open Claw Day to Day </p> <p><strong>30:06</strong> Business Models for AI Agents </p> <p><strong>34:20</strong> Paying for Open Claw and AI Models </p> <p><strong>37:21</strong> The Open Source Advantage </p> <p><strong>43:38</strong> Alby's Mission: Bring People to Bitcoin </p> <p><strong>57:07</strong> Lightning Network Growth and Adoption </p> <p><strong>1:01:41</strong> Final Thoughts</p> <p><strong>Get in touch with Roland:</strong></p> <p>Nostr: npub1zk6u7mxlflguqteghn8q7xtu47hyerruv6379c36l8lxzzr4x90q0gl6ef </p> <p>X: <a href="https://x.com/rolznz">https://x.com/rolznz</a></p> <p><strong>Get in touch with me:</strong></p> <p>Email: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p> <p>Thank you </p> <p>Best, </p> <p>Jake</p>

<p>In this conversation, I spoke with <a href="http://primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsp2j0df0n36xnsagku53vke5x9f3s6afy9cmjwt2x2gcm43jvd6jsr5xl56">Red Tail Hawk</a>, and we explored the themes of education, homeschooling, and the lifelong process of learning. We discuss the importance of self-directed learning, curiosity, and the role of parents in shaping a child's educational journey. The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on education and the necessity of developing critical thinking skills in a rapidly changing world. Red emphasized that education should be about making memories and fostering a love for learning, rather than merely acquiring knowledge.</p> <p><strong>Chapters</strong></p> <p><strong>0:00</strong> Introducing Red and homeschooling </p> <p><strong>5:28</strong> Defining success and the traditional process </p> <p><strong>9:16</strong> Bitcoin as a test of humility </p> <p><strong>14:34</strong> Reincarnation and centralized control </p> <p><strong>16:55</strong> Establishing daily learning habits </p> <p><strong>21:59</strong> Concerns about AI and truth </p> <p><strong>23:55</strong> Homeschooling vs. state schooling </p> <p><strong>31:14</strong> The window of absorption </p> <p><strong>40:55</strong> AI and the changing entrepreneurial landscape </p> <p><strong>47:10</strong> Establishing a consistent time of day for study</p> <p><strong>Contact</strong></p> <p>As always, please do reach out if any questions at all: [email protected]</p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Jake</p>
