The Perils of a Narrow, Unexamined Perspective, and the Influence of Fiat w/ Tyler Lindsay

Tyler responded to one of my recent tweets inviting people to join me on the podcast for a discussion. He DM'd me saying that he had an interesting perspective on the 'two monetary bubbles' in Aspen, Colorado, and would also like to speak about proof of work, alternative education and Hunter S Thompson, his unique travel experiences and more.

Sounded like great fodder for a good conversation to me.

Enjoy!
