TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman interviews Sean Bradford about Monero, Christianity, and privacy-focused marketing initiatives. Sean Bradford, who recently emerged in the Monero community, discusses his various projects including the Monero Masters podcast and surveillance resistance campaign.

The discussion explores biblical prophecies relating to digital currency, surveillance states, and how Monero could serve as a tool for resistance. Sean shares details about his Meta advertising campaign, which has reached nearly 30,000 people with click-through rates exceeding industry standards. The campaign costs approximately $500 over a month, targeting English-speaking countries with interests in dystopian fiction and VPNs.

Sean also discusses his email funnel system, which maintains a 42% open rate for welcome emails and 60% for later stage emails. The conversation also covers XMR Bazaar's role in the Monero ecosystem and the importance of building a circular economy.
