Summary:

The conversation starts with Walker discussing the challenges of growing his podcast and the need to delegate tasks. He then introduces Mads and Mills from the Bitcoin Policy Institute (BPI). Mads initially joined BPI to help with the summit, later becoming Grant and David's assistant, also assisting with events, while Mills joined BPI, after having known David and Grant (the co-presidents of BPI) for a long time, after her sabbatical from Bitcoin, because she wanted a job she felt passionate about. The three discuss how Bitcoiners are often perceived and the need to improve Bitcoin's public image.
