everybody welcome to the what is money show i am thrilled to have you here joining me on my

mission to help shine light on the corruption of money now a little bit about this show

and how it makes money we are 100 100% sponsor-based, which means that all the revenues we derive come from sponsorships. But I try to be very selective about the sponsors that I work with, specifically trying to choose those who have values well aligned to the values expressed on this show like freedom education self-sovereignty

etc so what i'm going to do is a few ad reads right here at the top of the show and then a few

ad reads in the middle and i hope you won't skip them i hope you'll take the time listen and see what

they have to offer because again these are hand-selected sponsors.

Now I'd like to tell you about our sponsor, Leden.

Lennon lets you do more with your digital assets.

For instance, Lennon offers a B2X loan product

that lets you leverage your existing Bitcoin

to buy even more Bitcoin.

Or you can also get traditional Bitcoin collateralized U.S. dollar loans through

Lutton as well. Letton also offers both Bitcoin and U.S. D.C. denominated savings accounts,

letting you generate yield on your digital assets. Recently, Lennon has launched a Bitcoin

mortgage product as well that lets you use Bitcoin to buy a home or finance one that you already own.

So go to Leden.io.

That's L-E-D-N-I-O today to sign up.

So now we're going to be talking about the principle of open-mindedness, and I'll open this with a quote from Ray's book.

Ray writes, if you can recognize that you have blind spots and open-mindedly consider the possibility

that others might see something better than you, and that the threats and opportunities they

are trying to point out really exist, you are more likely to make good decisions.

So open-mindedness is really, it's a key aspect of both the idea meritocracy that Ray is incepted
