From Corporate to Cold Plunge to Bitcoin 2026 | The Life Most People Fear | Lucas Maddy

What if the smartest money move is not chasing more, but owning the one thing nobody on earth can make more of? If you want to attend sponsor/speak at our Maximize Ai Workshop visit: https://djm.design/go/lucas-maddy-max-ai-episode ----more---- In this MoneyBru Show sit-down, Daniel James van den Berg talks with Lucas Maddy, a singer songwriter who spent a decade touring while working in finance and venture, then traded the corporate desk for a sailboat, a backpack, and a Bitcoin-first life. We get into why Bitcoin is the only asset with a hard limit on supply, and what that actually means for the regular person trying to store value for their kids. Here is the quiet pain most people feel and cannot name. You work harder every year, and the dollars you save still buy less than they did last year. The house did not get more valuable. The ruler you measure it with got smaller. We cover the human side too. Getting off screens, ritualizing your day so your mind can settle, and why your best ideas show up on a long walk instead of a busy feed. We also make room for faith, which most money conversations skip. Daniel shares how he and Joy take every big financial decision to prayer first, and Lucas opens up about the quiet confirmation that moved him across the world. It runs honestly under the whole episode. Lucas breaks down Michael Saylor and Strategy in plain language, the difference between real innovation and hype, and why chasing AI stocks feels like a shot in the dark while the money layer keeps converging on one thing. No hype here. Just a calm conversation about buying power, boundaries, and building a few outputs that actually pay you back instead of a hundred half-finished apps. Fun fact: the first real-world Bitcoin purchase was two pizzas for 10,000 BTC in 2010. At recent prices that snack was worth close to a billion dollars, which is a quiet lesson in what scarce money does over time. If any of this lands, come sit in the room where these conversations happen live.

Is Cascadia a Billion Dollar Game-Changer or a Risk? Tom Donkle Breaks It Down in Plain English

In this MoneyBru Show episode, we sit down with Tom Donkle to open a balanced conversation around Greeley Forward / Cascadia, the proposed west Greeley entertainment district and the questions our community is asking.

Plain-English breakdown of the Cascadia / Greeley Forward project scope and intent. Behind-the-scenes look at construction leadership, project management, and real-world decision pressure. Why some residents feel excluded from the process and how representative decision-making works. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ The bigger point for your life and business: when something feels noisy, polarizing, or emotional, the best move is usually to slow down and ask: What are the rewards? What are the real risks? What are the real upside scenarios? What would are we not seeing to make this a win win? What would we do if it does not pan out the loss of a large development? ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/tZhPMgoX75U For web, marketing, and AI automation work: https://djm.design/?utm_source=tom-donkle-pod ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Learn more from both sides (fair links) Greeley Forward (project info): https://greeleyforward.com/?utm_source=moneybru-podcast https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578235765237 Greeley Demands Better (opposition info): https://greeleydemandsbetter.com/?utm_source=moneybru-podcast https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577733696183 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Guest Tom Donkle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thomas.donkle Disclosure This video is an independent discussion.

A Years Worth of Expenses Covered #standaretodream Challenge with Daniël-James van den Berg

#standaretodream @stanforcreators learn more at: https://d.helloskip.com/XYs9 Okay, so I'm super stoked to share this! Imagine your salary, rent, and groceries covered for a year! This is the Stan Dare to Dream Challenge, and I'm taking a little winter stroll up one of my favorite hills here in Greeley, Colorado. For those who don’t know me, I’m Daniel James van den Berg, an immigrant-turned-U.S. citizen, entrepreneur, and creator. My journey has been anything but traditional—from growing up in South Africa with barely enough to eat, to building a seven-year-old business, to now helping creators and business owners scale. The Stan Store opportunity would be a game-changer for me, allowing me to expand my mission of helping businesses, freelancers, and communities grow through smart, AI-driven marketing. Here’s how I’d use it: ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ 🏆 Provide tools & strategies for business owners to market smarter, not harder. 🏆 Scale the Maximize AI Workshop, which has already helped 160+ entrepreneurs level up. 🏆 Support freelancers who want to escape burnout and build sustainable income streams. ✨ Give back to nonprofits like the Colorado Rebalance Program & Genesis Project for single moms. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ I started DJM.Design with a simple goal—help brands grow by 30% using strategic design, AI, and sales psychology. But it’s never been just about business. It’s about creating real impact. ✨ From my MoneyBru Show podcast that fuses South African culture with business, to the merch projects that started as a client appreciation initiative (and now have a life of their own), I’ve seen firsthand how powerful community-driven business can be. ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ That’s why I’m all-in on Stan. It’s not just a store—it’s a platform that lets creators take control of their income and impact. With this opportunity, I’d be able to go bigger, give more, and create resources that help people grow in ways they never thought possible. I’ve been a big dreamer since day one, and I KNOW that bigger things are ahead. Thanks to @stanforcreators for putting this together—let’s make it happen. 🚀 📲 Check out my store: https://stan.store/djmdesign #StanDareToDream #EntrepreneurLife #ContentCreators #djmdesign #danieljamesvandenberg#creators🚀🔥 ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ MONEYBRU ACCESS 1.
