Episode Details

In this episode, I catch up with Oshi as we reflect on making it to episode 11, read through a great batch of listener boosts, and dig into the latest show stats. We also swap a couple of stories from the week, including Oshi rescuing a baby bird after a storm and my ongoing adventures with cross-border shipping, delayed packages, and the realities of running a Bitcoin-only food business. From there, we shout out the growing Bitcoin meetup culture around Comox Valley and talk about why small, values-aligned communities matter so much when you're building on the edges.

We also spend time in permaculture corner, exploring the ideas that “the problem is the solution” and “catch and store energy.” I share how wildlife pressure in the orchard turned into an opportunity to rework part of the food forest, and we get into soil carbon, water retention, mulch, biochar, and the importance of fungal networks beneath the surface. We close with a broader conversation about building on Nostr, staying consistent through slow sales cycles, and why doing business directly for sats still feels like one of the most meaningful paths forward.
