In episode one of two special episodes, Max sits down with Jon for a candid, filthy and surprisingly moving tour from “pleb” garage miner to genuine pioneer. They trace his journey from a 2012 PC experiment and S9 heat-capture hacks, through the China exodus era, to building community with Ungovernable Misfits, Pleb Miner Month/Monthly, and the Meshtadel. Along the way Jon and Max revisit the friendships, prayer calls, old-head mentors, and on-the-ground graft that shaped his thinking—plus the hard stats that kill LARP-y mining dreams.

We close on the big pivot: site scouting in Western Pennsylvania, dead ends with utilities, natural-gas learning curves, a providential phone call, and the discovery of a coal-bed methane opportunity sitting almost in his backyard—full circle from pleb to pioneer.

It’s an unfiltered story about doing rather than tweeting: heat capture ingenuity, failed deals, community-led breakthroughs, and the relentless grind behind assembling land, power, and gas to make real-world mining work. If you’ve ever wondered how pleb-scale curiosity becomes pioneer competence, this is the blueprint—complete with detours, dents, and a few flaming arrows for good measure.
