In this episode, we sit down with Kenny Florian, former UFC fighter, broadcaster, and co-host of the Anik & Florian Podcast, to discuss his journey from martial arts to bitcoin. Kenny reflects on his fighting career, the lessons learned from competition, and how his mindset shifted when he discovered bitcoin in 2017. We explore the parallels between the discipline of fighting and the principles of bitcoin, misconceptions about volatility, and its role as a defensive asset. Kenny shares his thoughts on bitcoin's potential as a global reserve, the growing race for adoption among nations, and the unique advantages it offers over traditional assets like real estate. We also discuss self-custody, the importance of educating newcomers, and how tools like Unchained's bitcoin retirement calculator can help individuals better understand bitcoin's long term potential.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Intro00:01:06 - Introducing Kenny Florian00:02:30 - From law school dreams to the UFC00:05:15 - What it's like training as a professional fighter00:07:35 - The mental and physical challenges of weight cutting00:10:17 - Discovering bitcoin: first impressions and early doubts00:13:55 - Going all in on bitcoin in 201700:15:35 - Why bitcoin is the ultimate underdog00:18:12 - Bitcoin's defensive qualities and wealth preservation00:22:03 - Misconceptions about bitcoin: volatility and risk00:24:18 - Bitcoin vs. traditional investments like real estate00:26:50 - Lessons from Michael Saylor's bitcoin advocacy00:29:45 - Bitcoin's role in geopolitical and financial systems00:33:02 - The race for bitcoin adoption among nations00:36:12 - How bitcoin changes personal finance and wealth strategy00:40:02 - The importance of self-custody in bitcoin ownership00:42:15 - The power of bitcoin as a tool for individuals and nations00:45:25 - The future of bitcoin: 10 to 20 years from now00:48:05 - Advice for beginners: understanding bitcoin's potential00:50:50 - Reflections on bitcoin's journey and its role in global changeWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained Twitter: https://twitter.com/unchainedcom→ Unchained LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Kenny Florian's Twitter: https://x.com/kennyflorian

UFC 291 was an event where the highs were extremely high, and the lows were very low, but there's a lot to unpack from this past Saturday's pay-per-view offering, including where Tony Ferguson now goes after suffering his sixth consecutive loss. On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck takes social media questions from listeners and discusses Ferguson's submission loss to Bobby Green, and if the UFC were to allow him to have one more fight, who the ideal opponent should be. Additionally, listener topics include Alex Pereira's win over Jan Blachowicz and the latter suggesting he was robbed by the judges, Justin Gaethje's BMF title win and which matchup would be more interesting for Gaethje when he fights the Islam Makahchev vs. Charles Oliveira 2 winner, the potential buy-rate for Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz, Jamahal Hill blasting the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, and more. Plus, PFL color commentator Kenny Florian joins the show to preview Friday's PFL Playoffs event, talks Derrick Lewis' free agency and a potential rematch with Francis Ngannou in the PFL, Paul vs. Diaz and the chances a second fight could happen in MMA, and a potential merger with Bellator. You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
