Peter McCormack describes the ups and downs on his path to becoming the #1 bitcoin podcast and the #1 UK investing podcast. We talked about dealing with community pushback, speaking to guests that are not on the "approved list," and the modern political environment of cutting ties when friends disagree on important topics. We also discussed my hometown of Portland and the problems it has faced over the past four years.
