The Life Stylist

In this episode, I’m joined by Oto Gomes, crypto investor, mentor, and founder of the Crypto Freedom Academy, for a conversation that goes far beyond charts, markets, and digital assets. Oto brings over a decade of crypto experience and another decade as an accountant, but what truly sets him apart is his heart-centered approach to wealth, sovereignty, and freedom.Together, we unpack why so many people feel disempowered around money, how our beliefs shape our financial reality, and why the future of prosperity depends less on chasing quick wins and more on understanding who we are at our core. Oto shares practical and grounded wisdom on navigating crypto safely, building true abundance, and creating a resilient inner foundation that can weather both bull and bear markets—externally and internally.We also explore the deeper emotional and spiritual layers of money. Oto breaks down how self-worth ties directly into financial behavior, why sovereignty is a non-negotiable in the new paradigm, and how interdependent communities can help us rewrite our relationship with wealth. His mission is clear: to empower people to reclaim their agency, operate from integrity, and create a prosperous life rooted in accountability and connection.If you're curious about crypto, seeking a more holistic approach to money, or wanting to align your financial path with personal freedom and purpose, this conversation offers grounded insights and expansive perspective.
