What if the most important lesson we never teach our kids is what money actually is?

In this episode, Brian shares the story behind The Winds of Uncertainty — his children's book about scarcity, abundance, and the hidden forces that shape our economic lives. He talks about why he hired a Nostr artist and paid in Bitcoin, why he's only sold 10 copies and doesn't care, and why he believes it takes a generation to heal a broken relationship with money.

From the gold florin that funded the Renaissance to the moment Nixon closed the gold window in 1971 — and everything that came apart after — Brian traces how the money we choose shapes the culture we live in. Fiat money doesn't just inflate prices. It inflates dependence, erodes incentives, and quietly rearranges who wins and who loses.

Hard money is the inverse. And that's a lesson worth planting early.

Almost everything you've been told about inflation is wrong. In this episode, Brian breaks down the difference between what inflation actually is versus what we're told it is—and why that distinction matters more than you think.

You'll discover why your paycheck feels like it buys less every year despite "low" official inflation numbers, why your parents could afford a house on one income while you can't on two, and why the CPI consistently understates the real erosion of your purchasing power. Brian walks through concrete examples using housing prices, college tuition, and the stock market measured in gold to show the gap between official statistics and lived reality.

Learn about the Cantillon Effect, why governments have every incentive to inflate the currency, and how measuring prices in Bitcoin reveals the truth about monetary debasement. Most importantly, understand why the only real protection against inflation is saving in something that can't be inflated.

If you've ever felt like you're falling behind despite doing everything right, this episode explains why—and what you can do about it.
