Episode notes

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, in this episode, we dive into part two of our conversation with Aaron Murphy, the founder of @MURPHSLIFE Foundation. Aaron shares his incredible journey from overcoming addiction to building a life in El Salvador, where he's now transforming communities through his charitable work.

We talk about how MurphsLife got started, how it grew through platforms like TikTok, and the amazing things Aaron's been able to accomplish with the support of donors around the world. From building homes and businesses for impoverished families to creating a sustainable farm in the mountains, Aaron’s passion for breaking the cycle of poverty shines through.

We also chat about his vision for the future—turning the farm into a retreat for visitors, integrating Bitcoin donations, and teaching financial independence to local communities. It’s all about helping people, creating lasting change, and showing what’s possible when you combine hard work with a little faith.
