Welcome to my weekly segment Talking In Bits. Bitcoin is a new(er) way to transact money with anyone around the world and has become an effective way to store value.

Every week I'll try to attempt to break down Bitcoin so you can take advantage of this once in a lifetime technology. With money being printed at an alarming rate, inflation is stealing your wealth. Bitcoin is the last trai...

On Episode 52 of The $300 Startup Podcast... I replaced routines and stuck with my practices. The things that I have done the longest in my life, no matter what the age. Not a superstition -doing the task daily because the repetition set's up the rhythm for your day- but the things you do as life long pursuits. It's the difference between making something up and having that thing you do. You and I can both have a unique workout routine, diets, and preferred times of the day. But ultimately, we s...

On Episode 50 of The $300 Startup Podcast... I once spent six months creating videos to get people to buy a product. To make matters worst, I was recording, editing, and posting a weekly "tips" video series to go with it. Consistency is key right? Wrong. Six months and the only thing I had to show for it was a big goose egg in sales, not a single one. It wasn't going to matter how many videos I made, how much time I spent, what software I used, or what it cost. I was missing a key component. I d...

On Episode 48 of The $300 Startup Podcast... If you follow anything that I write about you will see a common trend. I’m fascinated by the crazy shit the mind does to us. It’s like a double agent that we’ve allowed into the highest sectors of our mental governance. It just sits there, dishing its dose of self-sabotage whenever it’s left unattended. So I’m reading the book, “Personality is not permanent” by Ben Hardy . In it, I find out about this notion that took me for a spin. “The Upper Limits ...

On Episode 47 of the $300 Startup Podcast... The Stoics talk a ton about meditating on your mortality for this reason. We live in a world where we are in denial of our mortality. It scares us so much that we much rather not even think about it. This is a weakness. Think about it... Why would we pretend that we are invincible? It's like living in someone's space and not expecting them to collect rent...just makes no sense. We will die, all of us will... When, where, and how is beyond our understa...

On Episode 46 of The $300 Startup Podcast... In a pre-screening to the classic film Psycho, Hitchcock's wife delayed the release of the film. She noticed something in the film that no one else in the room picked up on. She noticed one of the actors swallowed in a scene where their character was supposed to be dead! Hitchcock didn't argue. He knew his wife Alma was correct. She was his I.R. So he put the film release on hold, and made the changes without hesitation. It doesn't matter what creatio...

About 10 yards away stands the reason for my higher heart rate and current dilemma. It's twenty-four hundred pounds of aggression & muscle ...it's a bull! This thing hated that I was there, was making all type of noises and snarls, and was looking dead at me. Strangely enough, I've been here before, this isn't the first time I've had this fight.
