You're The Voice | by Efrat Fenigson

This is a guest episode - Robin Seyr interviewed me on his podcast, and I decided to share it on “You’re The Voice”.  Our conversation explores the relationship between fiat currency and wars, with a focus on the situation in Israel. It is suggested that fiat currency enables wars and that the modern society's incentive structure encourages negative behavior. The conversation also delves into the potential impact of a Bitcoin standard on wars, with the belief that it could change the incentive structure and promote fairness. The importance of humility and kindness in the Bitcoin industry is highlighted, as well as the potential for the industry to inspire positive change. Efrat Fenigson discusses the importance of spirituality and reconnecting with oneself, the need for women to promote themselves and take initiative, and the value of teaching children about inflation and the flaws of the fiat system. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Dr. Lia Naor, a visionary for a new mental health system, who founded the “Healing Space” after Oct. 7th as a life-saving, nature-based trauma-healing ER for survivors. Lia has a PhD in Human Development and Counselling, she researches positive transformation and has a private practice as a nature based therapist. Lia trains therapists and educators through “ways of knowing” - her center for nature based therapy, as well as programs centered on the process of human development through initiation toward fulfilling potential and deepening our humanity.  In this episode, we discuss the importance of creating healing centers that focus on holistic well-being and support individuals. Lia’s vision is of a new mental health system that values connection, acceptance, and personal growth out of the breakdown, through embracing pain, and choosing life.  2 parts to this episode:  - Part 1 - we discuss the process of healing traumas based on Lia’s approach and work;  - Part 2 (timecode 00:34) - we go back to Dec. 2023 where I filmed Lia’s work in the Healing Space - a special center in Israel for trauma work and healing - for the Oct. 7th massacre & Nova party survivors.   * Donations I received during Oct. 7th went towards the production of this episode and the episode with Dror Ashuah.  ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Dror Ashuah, an internationally recognized inspirational speaker, author and founder of retreat centers in the US, Mexico and Italy. His book series “Conversation with Angels” is a collection of messages on spiritual awakening received by Dror from the Angelic spiritual realm in preparation for this unprecedented time of global change. Dror has a Master’s degree from Harvard University in Human Development and Psychology. His worldwide travels combined with studies in mysticism, astrology, Reiki, crystals, and Shamanism have all contributed to his personal understanding of the messages about human consciousness. Dror relays a non-linear worldview about the nature of life on Earth and our greater purpose in the Universe: awakening to our divinity and understanding our spiritual role on this earthly journey. This episode has 2 parts:  - Part 1 - we discuss the process of awakening in depth;  - Part 2 (timecode 1:00:38) - we go back to Dec. 2023 where I filmed Dror’s work in the Healing Center - a special center in Israel for trauma work and healing - for the Oct. 7th massacre & Nova party survivors.   In this episode, we discuss the evolution of consciousness, and spiritual awakening. Dror emphasizes that awakening is a process that involves moving through fear, letting go of old patterns, and playing one's true self. We touch on the current time period as a unique opportunity for humanity's awakening and the battle between dark and light, while exploring the battle for human attention and consciousness. We discuss how different forces and areas of life manipulate and harvest our energy, and the importance of taking responsibility for our reality. We also touch on the dangers of consuming fear-based content and the power of choice in disconnecting from systems that do not serve us. We conclude with a reminder to find the gift in fear and to embrace the process of spiritual death and rebirth. We then move to part 2 which details the work Dror has been doing with the caregivers of the Healing Center in the weeks following Oct. 7th, to support survivors dealing with shock and trauma.  ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, subscribe and support my work.

My guest today is Matej Zak, the CEO of Trezor, a Bitcoin & Crypto hardware wallet company.

We talked about Trezor’s company culture and open positions. Matej explains the key differences between holding an ETF and self-custody, highlighting the benefits of using a hardware wallet. We touched on the challenges of regulation and the attack on privacy, the challenges of operating a hardware business, and Trezor’s business cycles that correlate with Bitcoin’s bull & bear cycles. We also discussed governments and politicians reactions to Bitcoin, and ended with Bitcoin startups created as an antidote to Communism: Matej believes the Czech Republic has a high number of Bitcoin startups due to the people’s spirit and appreciation of freedom and sovereignty in light of its past communist oppressive regime.  ►► Trezor’s Safe 5 - use my code for a 5% discount: ⁠⁠https://affil.trezor.io/SHZa⁠⁠  ►► Trezor Expert - 20% off for a limited time: ⁠⁠https://affil.trezor.io/SHZZ⁠⁠  ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow/subscribe and support my work.

He highlights Bitcoin's potential as a tool for personal freedom while warning against its financialization. Erik critiques societal complacency and the limitations of academia, calling for critical thinking and open dialogue.

My guest today is Michael Saylor, an American entrepreneur and the executive chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy, a public software and services company that recently announced it is also a bitcoin development company. MicroStrategy is undoubtedly the pioneer in holding the company’s reserves in bitcoin. Till recently, Saylor was MicroStrategy's CEO for 33 years. He’s considered to be one of Bitcoin’s biggest advocates, helping many people on their journey into Bitcoin. This episode revolves around the complexities of power, technology, and the role of Bitcoin in today’s world. We discussed the trend of centralizing power in the hands of a few, the benefits and drawbacks of big tech systems, the role of governments, and the need for decentralization. Michael explored the nature of Bitcoin as a digital asset or property, highlighting its global appeal and advantages over physical property. He touched on the role of ETFs, on MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin standard strategy, and concluded with the observation that the road to bitcoin adoption is paved with love and patience.  Insights from this episode:  Bitcoin's role in the global economy is like a mycelium network, a virtuous network, connecting and benefiting everyone.  ETFs play a crucial role in Bitcoin's reality by adding value, solving various problems.  The spread of ETFs globally will continue, with each country likely to have its own ETF.  MicroStrategy's strategy for raising capital to buy Bitcoin serves as an important case study.   Spreading Bitcoin with love and patience is essential for adoption. To be honest, I had a gazillion questions for Michael, but finally I had to choose only a few, and I wish I had 3 more hours to interview him... Perhaps next time!   -- CHAPTERS – 00:00 - Coming Up... 01:35 - Introduction of Michael Saylor 02:45 - Centralization of Power - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly 09:20 - Ad Break (Trezor, Bitcoin Nashville) 10:35 - The "Twitter-cane" 21:10 - Bitcoin: A Digital Asset & Property.
