In this episode, we chat with Jason Maier about Bitcoin adoption from a progressive angle—how it can empower marginalized communities, promote financial freedom, and why education from the ground up is so important.

Jason shares what he’s learned from his sabbatical, his time in the classroom, and the role emotional connections play in both teaching and talking about Bitcoin. They also dive into the challenges of political polarization, the influence of academia, and how to make Bitcoin conversations more fun and accessible.

Plus, Jason gives some solid advice for aspiring writers and shares a bit about his interests outside of Bitcoin. If you're looking for a thoughtful, down-to-earth take on Bitcoin and community building, this one's for you!
