Just how much will the economic and technological changes on our horizon impact the education space?In this episode, we're joined by tech entrepreneur Jeff Booth to hear more about this, as well as his own experiences of Worldschooling his own children. Jeff Booth is a visionary leader who has lived at the forefront of technology change for 20 years. He has led BuildDirect, a technology company that aimed to simplify the building industry, for nearly two decades through the dot-com meltdown, the 2008 financial crisis, and many waves of technological disruption. He is a Founding Partner of OtioLabs, Co-Founder of addyinvest.com and NocNoc, and serves on the boards of Terramera, Cubic Farms, LlamaZOO, Synthiam, and the Richmond Hospital Foundation as well as numerous advisory boards. In January 2020, Jeff released his first book titled “The Price of Tomorrow – Why Deflation is Key to an Abundant Future”.

Jeff Booth has been at the forefront of technological change for over 20 years. He founded a company called BuildDirect based in Vancouver, an e-commerce platform that was on its way to being a unicorn before he dramatically and suddenly left because, as he says it, his integrity was not for sale. When I first heard this story, I could relate to the emotional toll this must have taken on him, having been through something very similar, albeit on a far smaller scale. But I was also struck by how quickly Jeff bounced back, and the impact that he has had since then, be it with companies he's founded, invested in or advised. Jeff and I talk about the arc of his career, his book "The Price of Tomorrow," as well as crypto and blockchain. Then we drop from macro-topics into micro-topics of how he chooses to spend his time amidst the many new opportunities that he sees in the world today. What We Cover:  - The roots and disastrous consequences of inflationary monetary system - The “war” between the current monetary system and what exponential technology is bringing - Why digital currency like Bitcoin has the potential to mitigate the climate change and to contribute to a different economic system Key Learnings and Takeaways:  - There is no way to solve inequality through an inflationary monetary system. An inflationary monetary system equals inequality. - In a world that is changing really fast, the advantage goes to people that are open to learning faster.  - We need to have an incentive system based on truth, that can't be changed by rulers, a system that incentivises cooperation. Digital currencies can play a significant role in creating such systems.   Links and Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  - “The Price of Tomorrow” by Jeff Booth https://www.amazon.com/Price-Tomorrow-Deflation-Abundant-Future/dp/1999257405/  - Jeff Booth's Website https://www.jeffreybooth.com/  - Connect with Jeff Booth on Twitter https://twitter.com/JeffBooth  - Terramera https://www.terramera.com/  - Cubic Farms https://cubicfarms.com/  - Addy https://www.addyinvest.com/  - NocNoc https://nocnoc.com/  - “Swag: Alternative Investments for the Coming Decate” by Joe Roseman ​​https://www.amazon.com/Swag-Alternative-Investments-Coming-Decade/dp/1781485186/  - Eric Jorgenson: Leverage, Permissionlessness and Naval's Book of Wisdom on OutsideVoices https://outsidelens.com/eric-jorgenson/  Connect with Mark Bidwell: - LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidwell/  - Twitter https://twitter.com/markehb

This is the full recording of Brian's interview with Jeff Booth used for the July 2021 issue of Uncharted Invest Magazine. Initially, it was never intended to be heard, but the conversation was so enlightening that the decision was made to turn it into a podcast (with Jeff's blessing, of course...) Brian and Jeff discuss many of the macroeconomic ideas found in Jeff's book "The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation is The Key to an Abundant Future." Is inflation a hidden government tax? Will the exponential advance of deflationary technology disrupt our global financial system?

We live in an extraordinary time. "Bitcoin will keep on growing and I think one day other currencies will be pegged to bitcoin. I think it's highly likely that bitcoin becomes the reserve currency." Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance-and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from inefficiency. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

Every once in a while a book comes around that completely captivates us and leaves us with more questions than answers. When we discovered "The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth, we knew we needed to hear more from the man who wrote it.  Jeff is a Canadian-based entrepreneur who has built and invested in numerous companies, including BuildDirect, which he helped grow to $220 Million dollars in annual revenue. We were absolutely taken by the ideas he presented in his book, as well as Jeff's perspective on the future of the global economy. Jeff joins us on today's podcast for what turned out to be an incredibly poignant conversation about the global financial system, inflation and deflation, technology, and so much more.

Jeff Booth is a long-time leader in the tech industry and the founder and ex-CEO of BuildDirect, who recently wrote The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation Is the Key to an Abundant Future. He joins us to discuss inflation and deflation, why deflation is the natural state of markets, and how a hard money like bitcoin fixes much of what is wrong with today's world.

Tom welcomes a new guest to the show, Jeff Booth. Jeff is an author and technology entrepreneur. Jeff discusses the central thesis of his book "The Price Of Tomorrow." He explains how technology is moving faster than most people realize and why it's incompatible with modern central banking. Tech will result in massive changes in how we think and operate economies. When deflation happens in a debt-based society, that debt becomes more expensive and can't be repaid. No matter what action governments decide, the consequences are coming and playing out around the world. If banks don't lend, then governments will bypass the banks. In the next phase, central banks and governments become competitors. Structural deficits today are so staggering that the debt can't be repaid. The Fed has transferred risk from companies to their balance sheet. They are stuck in a debt trap, and they either have to have a deflationary depression or inflate away the debt. Today if real estate falls, the entire system will become impaired, so they continue to prop it up. The rich have most of the assets that benefit from these policies. Higher prices result in political instability as populations become more demanding. What looks like a bright spot in the economy in recent months is now over. He discusses gold and bitcoin and their benefits in preserving wealth. Jeff points out that Bitcoin is evolving very quickly. Big changes are coming to the West, and it will be painful over the next ten years because the credit system must unwind. Hyperinflation will be hard to stop when and if it begins. Regardless, there will continue to be wild swings around the world.

What if all our everyday assumptions about economics are wrong? This week Harry speaks with author and entrepreneur Jeff Booth, who says the most powerful force for change in the future will be deflation: getting more for less. Even the healthcare industry will feel the effects, he says. Listen to find out how.Booth is the author of The Price of Tomorrow: Why Deflation is the Key to an Abundant Future. The book argues that the most powerful force for innovation and change is not endless investment and growth, based on an inflationary idea that everything always gets more expensive, but technology-driven abundance, powered by exponential, deflationary trends in computing and storage that drive the price of everything down. Booth says governments should stop striving to ward off deflation and recognize that economic systems built around credit, debt, and eternal inflation only reinforce radical inequality and class resentment. As the deflationary force of technology spreads to even more industries—including healthcare—it will become necessary to rewrite all the rules of business and investing, he argues. Even healthcare organizations and drug developers will be forced to adapt to exponential technology change, such as the exploding amount of data on individual patients, Booth says.Booth co-founded Vancouver, BC-based BuildDirect, an online marketplace for building and home-improvement products, and is now a co-founder and advisor to numerous technology startups.Please rate and review MoneyBall Medicine on Apple Podcasts!

Today we interview Jeff Booth author of "The Price of Tomorrow". "Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still.

In this extraordinary contrarian book, Jeff Booth, a leading mind and CEO in eCommerce and technology, details the technological and economic realities shaping our present and future, and the choices we make as we got forward – a potentially alarming, but deeply hopeful situation.
