In this heartwarming holiday episode, we dive into the inspiring story of Andy Schoonover, CEO of CrowdHealth, who embodies the spirit of generosity by gifting a prosthetic arm to a young girl named Remy. Despite not being a client, Andy was moved by Remy's story, which he discovered through social media, and decided to make a difference by covering the cost of her prosthetic arm. This act of kindness sparked a chain reaction, as Remy chose to use the funds from her GoFundMe to help other children in need of prosthetics, demonstrating the power of paying it forward.

Andy shares his journey to founding CrowdHealth, a company aimed at revolutionizing the healthcare system by enabling people to pay for medical expenses in cash, thereby reducing costs and eliminating the need for traditional health insurance. He discusses the challenges and successes of building a community-based healthcare model that prioritizes human connection and generosity over bureaucratic hurdles.

The conversation also touches on the inefficiencies of the current healthcare system, the role of health insurance companies, and the potential for Bitcoin and other innovations to transform how we approach healthcare. Andy's vision for a more compassionate and efficient healthcare system is both inspiring and timely, especially as we approach the holiday season.

Listeners are encouraged to consider alternative healthcare solutions like CrowdHealth and to embrace a mindset of abundance and generosity, as exemplified by Remy's story and the broader mission of CrowdHealth.

In this engaging episode, I reconnect with my dear friend Monika Bravo, an inspiring artist and Bitcoin enthusiast, to explore the profound intersections of personal growth, spirituality, and the transformative power of Bitcoin. We dive into the significance of the winter solstice and how this time of year encourages introspection and embracing both light and darkness. Monica shares her journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of confronting fear and practicing energy hygiene to maintain spiritual alignment.

We discuss the impact of recent global events on mental and emotional well-being, and the necessity of recalibrating one's energy to navigate external chaos. Monika highlights the importance of discernment and trust, drawing from her knowledge of astrology to provide insights into the current cosmic energies and their influence on personal and collective evolution.

Our conversation also touches on the harmonics of the universe, the role of Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and the unique characteristics of Bitcoiners. Monika shares her experiences in El Salvador, where she delivered a keynote on Bitcoin as Promethean fire, and her plans to continue educating and inspiring others through workshops and study groups.

We delve into the practical applications of astrology and harmonics, and how understanding these can help individuals align with their true selves and navigate life's challenges. Monika's journey of individuation and her commitment to excellence and wisdom serve as a testament to the power of self-awareness and intentional living.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that encourages embracing change, fostering personal growth, and using tools like Bitcoin and astrology to create a more harmonious and empowered life.
