Peter McCormack hosts the "What Bitcoin Did" podcast, a show dedicated to discussing the rapidly evolving bitcoin movement. He started his show in 2017, dropping $100k into the show's production for the first year, and spending weeks on end on the road filming podcasts. His dedication paid off as he quickly grew a following of people interested in learning more about the radical new technology: bitcoin. As his show grew, he took on new business opportunities and eventually decided to buy the Bedford FC football club in the UK. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or podcaster, this is a must listen. Peter discussed: - The secrets of building a podcast- Spending $100k in his first year in podcasting- His bitcoin origin story- Taking risks and creating opportunities- Buying Bedford FCConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein

Calley Means has been behind the curtains of the Big Food profit machines and now he’s speaking out against the incentives perpetuating ill health in our country. With nearly 93% of Americans suffering from metabolic dysfunction, Calley has been sharing his insights on how Big Food and Big Pharma have contributed to the meteoric rise of chronic disease in America. Calley is the founder of True Medicine and he’s currently writing a book on the current health crisis we are facing.

Nicolette Hahn Niman authored one of the most compelling books on why we need to reconsider our stance against meat. In her book, Defending Beef, Nicolette addresses the series of misinformed arguments for why cows are bad for you and the environment, and how eating cows is not a “humane” act. We had an expansive conversation with Nicolette, and we think this will provide a ton of value for people looking to inform themselves on why meat eating is not bad.

Justin garnered success at an early age, exiting a business and subsequently racing competitively as a triathlete.

Saifedean Ammous is most famously known for writing his book, The Bitcoin Standard, and then his preceding book, The Fiat Standard. As a former gold bug, Saifedean looks at our current economic landscape with a critical lens, particularly as it relates to money. In both Saifedean’s books, he critically examines the role of money in society and explains the externalities associated with broken money. In our conversation with Saifedean, we discuss: * Fiat Food* Carnivore Diet* Hysteria: climate, medicine, disease etc.* How “Science” is bought and paid for?* Broken incentive structures* Cast Iron v Stainless Steal pansConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein🚨SPONSORS🚨The Carnivore Bar: The Carnivore Bar is a delicious, 3-ingredient bar that will fuel you with the highest quality animal-protein possible. Each bar only has 3-ingredients (Beef, Tallow, Salt) and has a creamy yet crunchy texture. The Carnivore Bars are grass-fed / grass-finished and will truly make "staying on the path" easier when traveling.✅LINK: https://carnivorebar.com/ CODE: MAFIA (10%)✅Holy Cow Beef: Labeling laws have made it challenging to know exactly how your beef was raised. “Grass-fed” does not mean what it used to and since the laws permit for grain-fed beef to still be considered grass-fed, you really need to look for the AGA (American Grassfed Association) label to ensure you’re getting the highest quality beef. Holy Cow Beef, owned by Ann and Weldon Warren, embodies the highest standards of animal husbandry and truly believes in the importance of creating the highest quality product for the end consumer. Check out their website for meat boxes and delivery options!✅LINK: https://holycowbeef.com/ ✅Wrich Ranches: If you’re in Colorado and want the highest quality grass-fed, grass-finished, regeneratively raised beef in the state, go check out Wrich Ranches. He takes bitcoin (and will give you a hard time if you don’t know what bitcoin is)!✅LINK: https://wrich-ranches.business.site/ ✅CrowdHealth: CrowdHealth is rewriting the incentives when it comes to healthcare. The business establishes its customer base through monthly contributions, which pay out the healthcare needs of others in the group. Unlike health insurance, CrowdHealth’s business is predicated on crowdfunding, meaning your fellow group members contribute to your healthcare bills as they come due. The monthly fee is less than an insurance plan, and the costs of the healthcare cases are lower since CrowdHealth facilitates paying these healthcare costs in cash instead of insurance (which doctors and hospitals prefer). Your contributions pay for the group’s health care costs as they come up, and it’s up to your discretion on whether you pay out to fund other’s costs.
