Ever felt pulled in two directions about a big life decision, or wondered why certain environments completely drain you? This conversation is going to hit home. Human Design expert Erin Claire Jones is back on the podcast and we get into the real stories behind how your design shows up in everyday life.

This week we talk about kidnappings, ransoms, and bitcoin.We also discuss crypto wealth, robberies, and memecoins.Recommended Book: The Status Game by Will StorrTranscriptIn 2008, a white paper published by someone writing under the pen name Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a method for making a decentralized asset class called a cryptocurrency that led to the creation of bitcoin, which was implemented and began trading in 2009.While there were other variations on this theme, and attempts to create something like a cryptocurrency previously, bitcoin is generally considered to be the first modern incarnation of this asset class, and its approach—using a peer-to-peer network to keep track of who owns what tokens on a publicly distributed ledger called a blockchain—led to the development of many copycats, and many next-generation cryptoassets based on similar principles, or principles that have been iterated in all sorts of directions, based on the preferences and beliefs of those assets' founders.In its early days, bitcoin didn't make much of a splash and was considered to be kind of an anomaly, mostly interesting to a very small number of people who speculated about alternative currencies and how they might be developed and implemented in the real world, but as of mid-May 2025, the global market cap for all cryptocurrencies is $3.39 trillion, bitcoin accounting for more than $2 trillion of that total.That said, there are tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies available, these days, though the majority of them have been formally discontinued or simply allowed to go fallow, becoming functionally inactive.That's partly the consequence of a surge in interest during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the price of bitcoin popping from just over $5,000 at the start of the pandemic to around $68,000 in late-2021.Bitcoin and most of the other crypto-assets that sprung up during that tumultuous period then collapsed when the US Federal Reserve hiked interest rates, intending to temper inflation, which had the knock-on effect of reining in risky bets on things like seed-level startups and alternative assets classes, like crypto—bitcoin dropped to less than $17,000 in 2023, partly as a result of that move—but as inflation levels cooled and investors started to look for assets that might pay out big time again, there was another wave of crypto-asset launches, especially of the ‘meme coin' variety, which basically means a crypto token that's launched either as a joke, or to try to make some money off something that's trending—the most famous meme coin is probably Dogecoin, which was originally released in 2013 as a joke, but then boomed in popularity and price during the pandemic.Through it all, and well before most people knew what bitcoin or cryptocurrencies were, Coinbase has served as a central pillar of the crypto-asset ecosystem.The company was founded in 2012 by a former Airbnb engineer as a crypto exchange: a place where you can swap crypto assets for other crypto assets, but importantly, where you can also sell those assets for real world money, or buy them for real world money.And that's what I want to talk about today, and more specifically a recent hack of Coinbase, and the potential implications of that hack.—In mid-May of 2025, Coinbase reported, in a legally required Securities and Exchange Commission filing, that their company was hacked, and that the hack may end up costing Coinbase between $180 and $400 million, all told.According to that filing, Coinbase received an email from the hacker on May 11, saying that they'd obtained a bunch of information about Coinbase customers and their accounts, alongside other Coinbase documentation related to their account management systems and customer service practices. The hacker demanded $20 million from the company, which the company refused to pay.Coinbase officials have been keen to note that passwords and private keys were not compromised in the hack, so the hackers couldn't just log into someone's account and empty their crypto wallets or the real-deal money they might be keeping there, but they did access names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, alongside the last four digits of some users' social security numbers, their government ID images, like drivers licenses and passports, and their account balances.All of which isn't as bad as passwords and private keys being stolen, but it's not good, either. The hackers, or people working with them, have reportedly been launching phishing attacks against some of the higher net-worth individuals whose information was stolen, those attacks—which usually involve tricking victims into divulging other information, like passwords—made a million times easier because the folks doing the attacks had that stolen information.What's more, and this isn't necessarily obvious from reading the pieces published about this hack, but it's important context surrounding all of this, people who have a lot of money in crypto-assets are increasingly likely to be targeted for other sorts of crimes, compared to people with a lot of wealth in conventional assets, like money, homes, and stocks.Case in point, in early May of this year, a trio of Florida teens kidnapped a man at gunpoint in Las Vegas, drove him to a remote desert area about an hour away, and then stole about $4 million in crypto and other digital assets, like NFTs.They apparently waited for him at his apartment complex and when he pulled up, they threatened him, and said they had his dad, and would kill him if he didn't get in their car, and then they got his account passwords and other information from him, once he was away from any possible help.In Canada, back in early November of 2024, the CEO of a crypto company based in Toronto was kidnapped during rushhour, forced into the kidnappers' vehicle and forced to pay a million dollars in ransom before he was released.According to a security firm that specializes in protecting wealthy people with crypto-assets, that CEO's kidnapping was the 171st instance of criminals using physical violence, including kidnapping, but also other types of robbery, to steal crypto assets; they also said there tend to be more such cases when the price of these assets is high.Well, the price of a bitcoin is high right now, more than $103,000 per coin, as of the day I'm recording this, and France and other Western European nations are seeing a spate of kidnappings of high net-worth crypto-holders, some of which have resulted in mutilation, as was the case with a 60-year-old man who was kidnapped in broad daylight, at 10:30am in Paris—four men in ski-masks pushed him into the back of a delivery van, and his kidnappers demanded his crypto-millionaire son pay a ransom; they cut off the older man's finger during the ordeal.The kidnappers demanded something like 5-7 million euros, which wasn't paid, and they were eventually captured by police. But law enforcement is seeing a lot of this sort of thing all over the world right now, people who made fortunes in crypto being kidnapped, and in some cases their friends and family, or partners, also being kidnapped, or kidnapped instead. Whatever the specifics, the person with the crypto-wealth is then hit up for a ransom.Often, the people being targeted are known to be wealthy because their wealth, their gains in this particular asset market, is publicized.The big concern amongst many people in the crypto-world right now, then, is that although the Coinbase hack didn't result in lost passwords or keys, the information that was stolen, including the balance of users' accounts, could make these users targets, giving anyone with access to this stolen data a list of people they might steal from, and information about where to find them, how to contact them, and how much they can probably hit them up for.On top of that, they can see who has had large balances in the past, how much cash they sold their holdings for, and who maybe previously had large holdings on Coinbase, but then transferred those assets to a private wallet—so even if they don't have large Coinbase balances, they possibly have large balances hidden on a harddrive somewhere.Crypto wealth is generally considered to be easier to steal, and to get away with said theft, because of its very nature; it's largely disconnected from traditional banking systems and many traditional banking regulations, and it's often simpler to launder crypto assets than real money, converting bitcoin into stable coins into other coins before then converting those assets into real money, for instance.So while Coinbase seems to be doing what they can to make their users whole, including paying back users whose information was lost in the breach, that information then used to phish them, successfully—so if you were conned out of money because the hackers got this information and then tricked you—Coinbase will pay you back what you lost.But it's not really possible to undo other, non-immediate damage, like the new level of threat some of these hacking victims maybe face, as the global economy gets weird, job security is iffy for many people in many industries, at best, and there's this list of people who seem to have plenty of money, that money held in more-stealable-than-usual assets, alongside what amounts to a map to where they can be found, and all sorts of information that paints an incomplete, but potentially leveragable, portrait of their lives.Show Noteshttps://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001679788/000167978825000094/coin-20250514.htmhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-hackers-bribed-staff-to-steal-customer-data-and-are-demanding-20-million-ransom.htmlhttps://techcrunch.com/2025/05/15/coinbase-says-customers-personal-information-stolen-in-data-breach/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/magazine/crybercrime-crypto-minecraft.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Hk8.UV7K.VEEqHFsUu24g&smid=url-sharehttps://www.yahoo.com/news/florida-teens-kidnap-las-vegas-200918594.htmlhttps://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/kidnapping-toronto-businessman-cryptocurrency-1.7376679https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/04/french-police-investigate-spate-of-cryptocurrency-millionaire-kidnappingshttps://www.advisor.ca/investments/market-insights/the-reasons-behind-bitcoins-surge/https://www.statista.com/statistics/863917/number-crypto-coins-tokens/https://www.forbes.com/digital-assets/crypto-prices/?sh=c86585d24785https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinbasehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrencyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoinhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0378437122005696https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme_coin This is a public episode.

Send us a textWhat if your greatest weakness could become your superpower? David Price's journey from welfare recipient and drug addict to multimillion-dollar CEO reveals how even our darkest traits can fuel extraordinary success when properly channeled.In this raw and revealing conversation, David pulls back the curtain on his transformation journey. He candidly shares his early financial missteps - like impulsively buying a BMW M5 competition sight unseen and trading in perfectly good vehicles rather than getting oil changes. These costly mistakes taught him valuable lessons about wealth building that he now applies to help insurance agents nationwide build sustainable six-figure incomes.The turning point in David's life came through an unexpected path into sobriety, where he discovered his addictive personality could become his greatest asset. "I was addicted to video games, riding bikes, wrestling, junk food, drugs... and then I found Tony Robbins and self-help," he explains. By redirecting his obsessive tendencies toward personal development and business growth, he built The Price Group - an insurance agency that's disrupting industry norms by focusing on average performers rather than just superstars.David's approach to physical health, relationships, and spirituality offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking balanced success. From partnering with his mother on an Airbnb to help her overcome depression to adopting plant-based eating for optimal performance, his methods demonstrate that small, consistent actions compound into extraordinary results. As he puts it: "I'm 44 years old and literally in the best shape I've ever been. It just builds up - it's like entrepreneurship. So many people want to be rich their first week, month or year. Try doing these things for 10 years instead."Ready to transform your own challenges into opportunities?

Hey everyone, it's Levi McCurdy back in your ears for Episode 189 of the What Are We Doing Podcast. Before we dive in, you know the drill: if you haven't already, hit that like button, subscribe, and ring the bell so you never miss one of my signature helium-adjacent vocal flubs. Gold stars await the committed few, and who knows—rack up enough stars and you might unlock some super-secret, definitely-maybe prize. What are we doing?I'm kicking things off with a dilemma: some of you think I'm the funniest person alive, while others insist I give off “weird tweaker vibes.” So I'm putting it to a vote: are you laughing or cringing? Head to the comments, pick a side, and help me settle this bipolar roller coaster once and for all. Stand-up tour or rooftop plunge—your call!Next, I recount my epic ant saga: the cinnamon-vinegar barrier that failed, the borax liquid traps that supposedly worked… until they were mysteriously emptied overnight. Was it an ant rescue squad hauling off their fallen comrades for a proper ant burial? A clandestine spider cleanup crew? Or did I hallucinate 30 tiny corpses after taco night? ChatGPT laid out the straightforward “ants carry the bait home” explanation, but where's the fun in that? Join me as we dissect the “ant extraction team” conspiracy theory.From tiny invaders to the biggest diva, former President Trump is back on social media, roasting Bruce Springsteen in England and claiming responsibility for Taylor Swift's “decline” after he tweeted “I hate Taylor Swift.” We unpack his bizarre pivot from musician-bashing to presidential-level clapbacks, and wonder: should world leaders really be ghostwriting their Twitter invective?Our boy Breezy is in a bit of a pickle across the pond—denied bail until June 13th for allegedly bashing a bottle in a London club. What does that mean for his Hershey tour dates? We lament the lost twerk sessions and speculate whether “Free Chris Brown” merch could be the next big festival fad.Airbnb's scrambling to stay relevant by selling “Services” (think in-house chefs and yoga instructors) and “Experiences” that range from the charming (ghost tours) to the downright unsettling. Yes, I'm looking at you, “Get a Taste of Sabrina Carpenter” and “Anime Schoolgirl Twerk-Off with Megan Thee Stallion.” We fantasize about the security detail these celebs will need when they open the door to their creepiest fan ever. What are we doing?Finally, TMZ breaks the news: Justin Bieber, once a billionaire-in-waiting, is reportedly so tapped out he's borrowing his pastor pal's credit card just to hit the links. We trace the meltdown—from canceled world tours and massive tour-advance buybacks, to a $200 million catalog sale—and pitch the ultimate solution: a multi-million-dollar Las Vegas Sphere residency to solve Bieber's money woes in ten nights flat.That's a wrap on the chaos for Episode 189. Thanks for sticking with my scattered thoughts, conspiracy theories, and late-night rants. If you've enjoyed the ride, drop a comment on whether I'm “hilarious” or “unfunny,” smash those buttons, and share this episode far and wide. We'll reconvene next week—might be Friday, might be Memorial Day—and who knows what ridiculousness we'll uncover then. Until next time, peace out and seriously, what are we doing?

I believe, as a woman, as a wife, as a mom, as a sister, a daughter, that we are okay with setting boundaries and saying no, and saying, you know what, I'm sorry, this doesn't feel right, and that's not easy to do sometimes.” Let's Connect!

Isaac French thought he had it all. A stable job, a good income, and a fulfilling relationship at such a young age. But somehow he still felt something was missing. He felt that his creativity was limited by his employer. He spent his time building their vision, not his. This is the reason why Isaac decided to take on a challenge to build his own business.Today, Isaac joins the UpFlip Podcast to share the incredible story of building Live Oak Lake, a unique hospitality business that went from an overlooked plot of land to over $1 million in revenue in its first year.Dive into how Isaac, at just 24, spearheaded the project, leveraging his background in construction for the initial remodelling and development. He reveals the innovative property management techniques and automation that allowed him to run this thriving short-term rental business with minimal staff. Discover the secrets behind his explosive growth, fueled by savvy digital marketing and social media techniques that generated a massive following and 80% direct bookings. Isaac also touches on creating premium guest experiences with thoughtful add-ons, akin to curated retail goods, that made his properties stand out. Tune in to learn how he built a brand, not just a business, in the competitive hospitality landscape.Takeaways- Live Oak Lake began from a desire to create unique, design-driven hospitality experiences with personal creative control.- The initial bold step was investing in an undervalued, "briar-infested" property before full funding was secured.- Automation of check-in, smart home features, and guest communication was key to lean operational costs.- An early setback (Airbnb suspension) became a catalyst for a highly successful direct booking strategy.- Prioritizing premium design and a "magical" guest experience justified higher price points and built strong demand.- Influencer marketing and authentic founder-led storytelling were pivotal in rapidly building a large, engaged audience.- Focusing on fewer, high-quality units created exclusivity and allowed for exceptional attention to detail.- Building a strong brand directly translated into significant enterprise value, leading to a profitable exit.- It's crucial to blend artistic vision with savvy operational and marketing execution.Success in unique hospitality requires spotting hidden potential, bold execution, and adapting to challenges.Tags: Property management, Retail Goods, Remodelling, Digital Marketing, Social Media, Short-term RentalResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/4ktsvms Connect with Isaac: https://www.instagram.com/isaacfrench_/reels/?hl=en

Midlife. For some, the word alone is enough to send shivers down the spine. It's a time of challenge, change and potential confusion. Or – if you believe the perspective of today's guest, Chip Conley, the beginning of the very best parts of our lives!Joining us today is Chip Conley, a true visionary in leadership, aging, and personal reinvention. Chip made his mark as the founder one of the largest boutique hotel brands in the U.S. before making a surprising career pivot—becoming Airbnb's Modern Elder and helping to guide the company through its explosive growth. He then went on to launch the Modern Elder Academy (MEA), the world's first midlife wisdom school, designed to help people navigate transitions with purpose, resilience, and a renewed sense of possibility.His latest book, Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age, challenges the outdated myths of aging and reveals the science-backed benefits of embracing midlife as a time of growth, wisdom, and fulfillment. In today's conversation, we'll dive into why midlife is not a crisis but an opportunity, how we can redefine success and purpose in our second half of life, and why aging can actually be an advantage, not a limitation.Chip's insights are not just inspiring—they're practical, research-backed, and deeply relevant for anyone looking to thrive in midlife and beyond.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley break down Visa (ticker: V), the global payments powerhouse that acts as the invisible engine behind billions of transactions every day. Visa doesn't issue cards, lend money, or handle customer accounts — instead, it operates the network that connects banks, merchants, and consumers in over 200 countries. Whether you're tapping your card for a coffee, shopping online, or sending money abroad, there's a good chance Visa is taking a small slice behind the scenes. Visa is to the global economy what highways are to cars — an essential infrastructure layer that makes modern commerce move. In this episode, you'll learn how Visa evolved from a consortium of banks to a dominant public company, how it defends its massive competitive moat, where growth will come from beyond traditional card payments, whether emerging technologies like account-to-account payments pose a real threat, how to think about Visa's valuation, plus so much more!
