In this closing episode, I reflect with Gary on a year of building Motivate the Math—what we learned, where we fell short, and why the mission continues. We talk candidly about accountability, shifting priorities toward local, in‑person impact, and why Gary is stepping back to double down on family and community. I share how this project validated the need for stronger technical literacy in Bitcoin, the allies we found along the way, and how this work evolves next through Magic Internet Math and a broader Math Academy vision. We revisit the soft‑fork kerfuffle as a case study in how technical gaps fuel FUD, and why raising the baseline in math and cryptography matters for Bitcoiners, institutions, and anyone navigating an info‑war frontier. Looking ahead, I outline plans to keep the conversation going with a new podcast and more instructional content, plus a push toward local teaching hubs and in‑person collaboration. The goal remains the same: turn intimidating math into familiar terrain so fewer people get shaken out by technical fear. This show was a first brick—thank you to everyone who supported the mission and helped prove its importance. The work goes on.
