I'm not the typical Bitcoiner. I wasn't rebellious. I happily trodded along with the pack. The last thing I wanted was to move against the tide.

But there was one thing I couldn't shake.

I started lifting at 8. Deep in Reddit nutrition forums by 13. Favorite movie was Pumping Iron. What does that teach you?

The long game.

But everywhere I looked, everyone played the now game. Ate, trained, spent like it. I couldn't understand it. And I didn't have a good answer for why everyone was wired different – until Bitcoin gave me one.

I lost my shirt in 2021. But instead of licking my wounds, I decided to learn more. And yes, I became obsessed. First with the possibility. Then with a question:

If we had a money that incentivized people to save instead of spend – how would that change how they live?

It was like everything I'd ever questioned might finally make sense. And I've been on a mission to contribute to that solution since – in the way I know best.

Speaking.

Too many smart people aren't seen as such. Their ideas never get considered because they can't get a room to believe in them. I've spent the last two years working to change that – coaching executives and founders to communicate under pressure, helping them show up on stage the way their ideas deserve. I've worked with Bitcoin main stage speakers on their preparation, helped clients moderate panels alongside some of the biggest names in the space, and prepared executives for interviews on the floor of the NYSE.

The Bitcoin community gave me a mission. This is how I give back.

In 2008, my family lost everything in the Great Financial Crisis. We were born and raised in Detroit and in the automotive industry. My husband lost his Tier 1 supplier job, my antique shop fell apart because everyone lost their jobs. There was no money. I started going to Chicago to sell my goods. It was a place that wasn't dependent on one industry. Pretty soon we decided to move permanently. We lost our house, literally everything and started over in the Chicago burbs with our 3 kids in an apartment. I built my own business from scratch there, The Vintage Garage and my husband had to work midnights in a shop for a few years until he could quit and work with me. We worked hard, got our kids in great schools, then-

in 2015 I bought $100 worth of Bitcoin and promptly forgot about this "internet money." In 2017, someone asked if I’d heard about Bitcoin, and I thought, “I’ve got some of that.” I go hunt it down and that 100 bucks is worth $4700! That was a TON of money for us. It sent me down the rabbit hole, what is it, why did it do this, and what’s it going to do next? So I hung on for the ride and tried to add. I made plenty of mistakes along the way. But Bitcoin taught me about money and finance and how the world works. It changed our lives for the better. We literally thought we'd never be able to retire, now we've got a shot at it. :)
