In this episode, Roy sits down with Stewart Crown, a trader, coach, and RG146-certified educator who watched $250,000 AUD of his own crypto portfolio collapse to $23,000 before building a $4 million client-results business teaching others not to repeat his mistakes. Stewart traces his path from discovering Bitcoin through a friend's tip about the Silk Road in 2013, to mining on a CPU for 20 cents a day, to walking out of a corporate job mid-shift after a $500,000 month. They dig deep into the psychology of losing money — Stewart compares it directly to the stages of grief — and Stewart shares his hard line on scam recovery, including why he can't help once crypto reaches an external wallet, and how to actually vet a recovery service before paying anyone upfront. The conversation covers his approach to separating investing from trading, why chasing pre-listing coin announcements no longer works the way it did four years ago, a blunt take on Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, a lesser-known fact about USDT's ability to freeze accounts, and where AI genuinely helps versus where it doesn't in his trading process. He closes by introducing his own product, GridBotBuilder, built around algorithmic grid-bot trading.

In this episode, Roy sits down with award-winning actor, writer, and producer Niki J. Borger, creator and star of the upcoming sitcom NFTease. Niki traces her path from growing up in Germany with only 10% depth perception, to becoming a musical theatre performer, to transitioning into Hollywood film and eventually producing her own work — including a five-minute short film shot for $367 on two iPhones that went on to earn 20 festival selections, 7 nominations, and 4 awards. They dig deep into NFTease itself: the premise of three insecure NFT-startup founders forced to partner with a group of "influencers" who turn out to be something else entirely, how the show plans to build its audience through social media before shooting the full series, and the investor structure behind it. Niki also opens up candidly about the realities of the acting industry — vanishing residuals, non-union commercial rates, and her strong stance on AI, consent, and protecting an actor's likeness — before closing with a full cast rundown for the show's eight core characters.

Welcome to The Crypto Podcast. You can find all our episodes on thecryptopodcast.org. My guest today spent years inside the room where crypto's rules actually get written. As a regulatory crypto attorney, he's advised leading exchanges on exactly what they could and couldn't legally offer, and he helped launch the first crypto ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Now he's on the other side of the table as CEO of Yield School and founder of New Market Trading, helping everyday investors get access to the primary markets that most retail traders never know exist. Please welcome Frank Hepworth.
In this episode, Roy and Frank cover the regulatory landscape shaping crypto today, including the Genius Act, the pending Clarity Act, and why Frank believes Europe's MiCA legislation forced crypto into traditional finance and backfired. Frank explains how New Market Trading uses smart contract technology so clients retain full self-custody while still getting professional portfolio management, why institutional ETF buyers have been buying the top and selling the bottom like retail investors, and how he evaluates which crypto assets are worth investing in using a commodity-versus-business framework. The conversation closes with a detailed, refreshingly honest breakdown of why real estate tokenization is far less advanced than people assume, and why native on-chain companies, not tokenized off-chain assets, are where Frank believes the space is actually heading.

In this episode of The Crypto Podcast, Roy sits down with Paul Brower, Director of Engineering at Casa — the gold standard in Bitcoin self-custody — where he leads a 12-person team building AI-first workflows to protect billions of dollars in Bitcoin. Before Casa, Paul spent seven years building the first FDA-approved digital pill software, was an early Bitcoin adopter since 2011 (including a Mt. Gox close call), and even spent three episodes on an MTV reality dating show.
Paul breaks down how Casa's multi-sig self-custody system works (2-of-3, 3-of-5), how attackers are now using AI-powered spearphishing and deepfakes to impersonate support staff, and how cryptographic PIN verification protects users from social engineering. He also covers key loss prevention (health checks, hardware redundancy, YubiKeys vs. Trezor/Ledger), Casa's inheritance system for passing on Bitcoin securely, the risks of giving AI agents access to financial accounts, and why physical air-gapped hardware remains one of the strongest defenses against an increasingly AI-powered threat landscape.

Brandon Diggs from Overseas DeFi joins the show to reveal what productive crypto actually looks like, and how you can turn your idle holdings into a monthly cash flow machine using Decentralised Finance.
