Born To Be Free makes tallow-based, non-toxic skincare rooted in health, sovereignty, Bitcoin values, and regenerative sourcing. The conversation covers what it means to be a merchant on Nostr today, how decentralized marketplaces can give businesses resilience beyond Shopify, Meta, and other centralized platforms, and why Bitcoiners are often some of the most intentional customers.

420 The interoperability that Nostr affords will allow for so many cool ways to curate and discover content. All it takes right now is a little game and a few clients implementing features to show things are working. Even if it's just a handful of users. This is why participation is so valuable, each individual has massive potential to drive forward progress. #40hpw

420 On this recording, we did a technique that I use at the homestead that I call "the swish" where I do passes around the homestead stopping to work on anything that catches my eye for short periods of time. After several passes, the process transforms from simply going back and forth over and over into each action completing several tasks at once. We drill into permaculture, capital, and community by swishing around them over and over throughout the discussion. Thanks for inviting me into the bowl!

Such a high signal podcast, I learn so much with every listen, the show notes are a fantastic resource to further that education and I get so many ideas as well. What's the difference between check out and zap out (besides the public nature of the transaction)? Does ecash add any additional programmatic functionality when it comes to open marketplaces/merchants on Nostr?
