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

 

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. RSVP for the Maximize AI Workshop on September 24th here:
