Thinking With David

Mikey Aldape (@mikeyaldape) is a programmer, entrepreneur and early-adopter/advocate for bitcoin. My college roommate Mikey was always pursuing the next best thing whether it be music, technology, or investments. It was years ago that Mikey first began spreading the bitcoin doctrine and if we would have listened to him, we’d all be retired. Mikey is well-versed in the language of cryptocurrency making this a fairly technical conversation about bitcoin, but we also reach beyond that concept, diving into more interesting waters, digging into the mythology of Bitcoin, beliefs, stories, fictions and narratives. In the eyes of crypto-lovers, is Satoshi Nakamoto the new Jesus? Please welcome to the podcast, crypto success story and my dear friend, Mikey Aldape!

Leslie Prince (@luminous_leslie) is a yoga instructor, hiker, and self-care expert. The two of us were once co-workers in the digital marketing industry and today we reunite to discuss Leslie's journey of self-inquiry and self-discovery since that time. Leslie took a big leap, leaving behind comfort for chaos only to discover her current life's passion, fall in love, and hike the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile long trail that spans the distance of Spain. Hiker trash on deck! Leslie has been a strong supporter of mine for many years even when the times are tough. By listening to this episode, you step into her warm, loving, feminine embrace as she takes me through some existential questions that had been nagging at me. It's a fun one, all right!

Alex Skold (@skoldblooded) is a jiu-jitsu instructor, viking ninja, and journeyman. What follows is a wide-ranging, informative and laugh-filled discussion about finding yourself through craft and flow, dismantling stereotypes, the games we play, and feeding our touch-deprived society with physical contact. We start out the conversation by inventing a new social media and end it by delving into sex, psychedelics, and spirit. I've cohabitated, traveled with and enjoyed Alex's presence for many years. This conversation is a fun glimpse into that relationship. Without further adieu, please welcome, the strong, Alex Skold!   Show Notes: Follow Alex on Instagram.

After setting our intention, this conversation soars into a free flow of Christina's wisdom as we discuss letting go of our stories, how to create space, shining light on our inner-darkness, awakening our inner-child, seeing the world through the lens of color, and much, much more.
