“The American Dream Is Broken” Here's The NEW Playbook to Get Ahead | Nat Brunell

In this episode, I chat with Natalie Brunell, host of Coin Stories, a top-ranked Bitcoin podcast and one of the most powerful voices in Bitcoin education and financial media.

We dive into her debut book Bitcoin is for Everyone, while also exploring the role of women in Bitcoin, and why she sees Bitcoin as a deeply moral technology.

If you’re looking to reconnect with the idea of financial freedom, discover how Bitcoin might reshape society, or simply hear an inspiring story of resilience and conviction, this episode is for you.
