Dad, what's a Sixpence? (JWP130)
This episode starts with my six-year-old walking up to me one afternoon and asking, "Dad, what's a sixpence?" I follow that question all the way down.
I dig into the 400-year life of the sixpence, a British coin quietly debased over decades until there was no silver left in it at all, and finally withdrawn in 1980, largely without anyone noticing while it happened. From there I get into what debasement actually looks like in real time, why every generation assumes the money it grows up with is permanent, and why being a good capital allocator means being a student of change as much as a student of markets.
Also covered: the books that have shaped how I think about money (Menger, Lynn Alden, Saifedean Ammous), where Bitcoin fits into this story without being the whole story, and the question I've been sitting with since that conversation: what do I own today that feels permanent, but probably isn't?

Help pls
My wife is building a health app that’s genuinely private — the kind where the company literally cannot read your data. Not “we promise not to look.” Can’t.
It synthesises your genetics, labs and biomarkers into personalised health guidance, using confidential computing (Maple AI / OpenSecret-style).
She’s hiring a developer with real experience in encryption, secure enclaves, or confidential-compute systems. Non-technical founder, paid work, not a co-founder search.
If that’s you — or you know them — reply or DM 🙏

Anyone use Obsidian?
Been working on a new product, for personal use, and long term wealth strategy
Think a family office style knowledge base to pass down to the next generation
Something I wish I could have accessed when my dad died
Accrued intellectual capital
It needs to outlast AI models, laptop provider, Gsheets etc
Be private
And the .md file format seems to work very well for this use case
Text files so easy to manage
Will contain investment notes, ROI, mistakes, balance sheet etc
Appreciate any feedback if Obsidian has any pro/con
🙏🏻

Could Your Family Recover Your Bitcoin Without You? (JWP126)
Most people who hear that question feel something shift. Because the honest answer is no. Or maybe. Or they haven't really thought about it.
In this episode I introduce the concept of Bitcoin Dependency, and why it's the most under-examined risk in every serious Bitcoin holder's life. If your family cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, you do not have a Bitcoin custody plan. You have a Bitcoin dependency.
I also share the personal story that shapes everything about how I think about this, my father dying suddenly when I was twenty, and seventeen years of figuring out what to do with inherited capital without a roadmap left behind. That experience is the foundation of what I now build for clients: a Family Bitcoin Plan.
If you're holding meaningful Bitcoin, have a family, and haven't built a plan around your custody yet; this episode is for you.

Great question
And precisely the kind of bespoke problem that any Bitcoin holder has to solve
An idea: you could create your Family Bitcoin Plan, the physical version, and store it with someone or somewhere, only to be released with a death certificate
There will be a number of decent solutions

Could your family recover your Bitcoin without you?
Most Bitcoin holders have spent years learning why, how, and when to buy Bitcoin.
Far fewer have spent time preparing their family to recover it if they are no longer there.
If your loved ones cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, your Bitcoin depends on you.
That's what I call a Bitcoin dependency.
You are:
• The password manager
• The recovery procedure
• The documentation
• The inheritance plan
• The technical expert
Remove you, and the system may fail.
I believe Bitcoin Custody Architecture is a critical piece of the puzzle for Bitcoin holders looking to build a Family Bitcoin Plan covering:
• Custody
• Recovery
• Inheritance
• Family preparedness

The AI Stack I'm Running From Home With Three Kids and No Team (JWP 122)
Three months ago, at 4am, my net worth had just halved. Bitcoin had crashed and I'd been heavily exposed. Three kids asleep upstairs, wife asleep. I sat at the laptop and typed one question into ChatGPT: how do I make money?
That rabbit hole became the AI Assessment business I now run, and it became this episode.
This is the actual workflow. The system I copied from my wife. The verification layer that handles AI hallucination. The exact stack producing this podcast — and why I cancelled Buffer this morning. Why the next decade of business building looks nothing like the last one. And the real numbers from real clients: Pete the chartered accountant, $17,400 a month found in a 20-minute call. Mat the landscaper, $1,500 a month sitting in his invoicing alone.
If you run an Australian business and you've known for a while that AI matters but haven't really started — this is for you.

For all of 2025 I had a team working with me, Mike and Pat
I’ve also done it myself through various iterations
Point is I know the pain point of podcast production and publishing very well
The AI tools can now curate and coach automate most of the steps
What once took 2 to 4 hours will now be done in 15 minutes
It needs the right prompts
And approval
It it’s a huge compression of time with the same quality output
Another way of looking at it: as a solo entrepreneur you can now achieve a larger reach with the same inputs

What I Learned Assessing 5 Australian Businesses for AI in 10 Days (JWP 121)
Ten days ago I sent an SMS to my warm network offering a free AI Business Assessment. Five business owners said yes. By Friday, I'd run five 20-minute calls, delivered five custom AI roadmaps, and identified between $1,560 and $17,400 of monthly value waiting to be unlocked.
Lewis, a construction and landscaping director in Melbourne, replied: "What once felt overwhelming now feels exciting."
This episode is the story of those 10 days — the SMS that started it, the five calls, the numbers, and the offer that's now live at: http://jakewoodhouse.io/ai-assessment
Chapters:
- 00:00 — Lewis testimonial
- 02:00 — Why I paused The Durable Man

- The 60-word SMS that got an extraordinary reply rate
- Five businesses, five roadmaps:
- Mat (landscaping) — automating labour metrics on invoices
- Lewis (construction & landscaping) — AI for design mockups
- Paul (retail) — winning back time for marketing across 300 suppliers
- Tom (mould inspection) — compacting 12 hours of reporting
- Pete (accounting) — $17,400/month of billable time leaking into admin
- The system: 20 min Zoom → Claude → Gamma → 48-hour PDF
- Why the report pays for itself in month one (and why I'll refund if it doesn't)
- The Rova experiment and why human stories still beat AI slop
The Offer:
AI Business Assessment — $999 AUD
- 20-minute Zoom call
- Bespoke PDF report delivered within 48 hours

When things move, they can move fast…
- Weekend: studied a report by Deloitte on AI adoption in Australia, which stated 1 in 3 small businesses had no idea where to even start with AI
- Monday: sent 20 or so sms to warm network with
Hi xxx,
How are you?
I'm launching something new and want to test it on people I trust first.
It's a free AI Business Assessment — you get a personalised report showing exactly where your business should start with AI and which tools will move the needle.
Takes 20 mins of your time, normally $1k, free for my first few. Let me know if that’s of interest?
Thanks
Best,
Jake
- Tuesday: hosted and recorded 4x calls
- Wednesday: created 4x reports, with the transcripts, bespoke to their scenario, and all recommending 4x “low hanging fruit” options, and 3x longer term AI implementations, and sent over
- Thursday: already received 1x testimonial
“Working with Jake was exactly what our business needed. As a construction company, the idea of implementing AI felt daunting and we had no clear starting point. Jake took the time to understand our operations and delivered a detailed roadmap outlining the right AI tools for us and a clear, step‑by‑step plan for integrating them. What once felt overwhelming now feels exciting, and we’re confident about bringing AI into our business.”
Friday: aim is to finalise an offer, landing page, and pricing
The future:
- website update
- podcast episodes to produce
- direct outreach
- ads
All whilst homeschooling, renovating, and organising a trip…
Sending good vibes all. A relaxed evening on the sofa badly needed!

What is Cognitive Sovereignty? - Andi Pitt (JWP 119)
npub1tlvvdgm4csch9x3m0r3qsrll7zsaccl49c4gdz5qz9g3jz33l92ss4gp7z
In this episode of the podcast I was joined by Andi Pitt, a venture capitalist in the Bitcoin space, and former member of a cult. She discusses the concept of mind control, its prevalence in society, and its implications for individual cognitive sovereignty and democracy. This was a truly mind-bending conversation. We discussed cults and mind control, the Iranian regime, education as a tool for indoctrination, the idea of cognitive sovereignty, Bitcoin and personal freedom, VC in the Bitcoin industry today, and finally the impact of meditation with self-awareness. So much to learn from someone like Andi.

He also explains how Alby’s self‑custodial Alby Hub ties all Lightning‑enabled apps together, making Bitcoin the native currency for everyday software. Listeners will learn how to boost productivity, automate workflows, and build Bitcoin‑first products using always‑on AI agents without sacrificing privacy.

Yeah, I already had you guys down to be honest. It’s one of the first calls I’d make on actually making an acquisition

Industrial services have been the main aim thus far
- cleaning
- plumbing
- electricals
- health and safety
Hard asset connected. Essential as possible. Inflation proof. Ai proof
Things people just won’t stop paying for
Initially I was lookin close to where i live, but realised the deal flow is so small, that opened up to VIC, NSW, QLD
The key lesson: a vendor that is retiring is critical. 1) Seller finance 2) stays on as manager for a handover 3) keeps staff
Very early stages
My intention will then be to update the back-end with as much AI as possible, and keep it running
Long-term, and depending on how it goes, I like the idea of roll-ups, adjacent services, with an exit to a PE fund
But first steps is just one high quality, stable, cashflowing business

2026-03-11 11:54:23 UTC

I’ve spent a week analysing small businesses in Australia to acquire
It’s quite incredible how quickly you can now learn
AI is an absolute game changer
What would have taken a team, investor, analyst, accountant, and lawyer, weeks and weeks
Can now be done in minutes
It’s like you have an on-demand research desk
Investor = decision maker
Broker = deal flow
AI = analyst layer
Not sure where this is going to take me, but as you will imagine, I have a preference for hard asset related companies, likely service based for the best margins and recurring customers
And yes, a retiring baby boomer makes an excellent vendor

In this conversation, I spoke with Red Tail Hawk, and we explored the themes of education, homeschooling, and the lifelong process of learning. We discuss the importance of self-directed learning, curiosity, and the role of parents in shaping a child's educational journey. The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on education and the necessity of developing critical thinking skills in a rapidly changing world. Red emphasized that education should be about making memories and fostering a love for learning, rather than merely acquiring knowledge.

Started building something new
Early days
But it’s exciting
More of a pivot than totally new

I was 20 when I buried my dad. Sudden heart attack as a 48 year old was what took him. Brutal
Totally altered the course of my life
Love this post though. I wish Id had more time with him to pay my respects

It’s all a learning process!

Another thing the Q1 bear is hammering home
I need to create a higher yield on my time
Cashflow from that is a natural defence from Bitcoin volatility

Always thought that
Beware your AI tool of choice
Saying that, as I did a bit of digging, “domestic surveillance” is excluded from US users due to existing laws (maybe they ignore them)
Whilst it’s important to recognise that it’s not specifically ChatGPT users that will be affected, but rather their AI models being used on specific gov use cases
Fascinating to watch no doubt
And I now will be opening Perplexity more often!

Although ROI on illiquid positions is kind of pointless
Until those businesses exit, the ROI isn’t real
So time will tell
Interesting place to be batting though

Love this. Who’s building that future? Ie what breakout companies do you see?

2026-02-24 22:44:40 UTC

One upgrade for my future that I will make sure is true
Next time I won’t be forced to sell at the dip

I think it would show you that people are buying right now

Agree
Are you also predicting 4 in front?
Seems unlikely from where I am sitting
Never say never though

Win at any cost and by any means
Another example of this I enjoyed watching was the socials hammering out: snap > clubhouse > spaces > stories etc

The last six weeks have exposed many areas of my life that I didn’t realise needed work:
• liquidity discipline was thin
• volatility leaked into home life
• operating capital and investment capital were blurred
• ego was still attached to prior highs
That’s tuition fee’s. Expensive tuition fee’s. But tuition fee’s that will pay in the long run.
Financial capital balance: DOWN
Intellectual capital balance: UP

2026-02-23 22:51:06 UTC

My father handed me capital.
Life handed me volatility.
The market handed me humility.
That combination is not a curse.
It’s apprenticeship.
Painful, yes.
But real.

Good strategy
I think what’s so interesting is how complacent id become
Drunk on 18 months of high prices

2026-02-21 19:54:34 UTC

Biggest lesson of this bear market:
When using Bitcoin as your primary means of value storage, the volatility to the downside is a risk to never forget, so if you’re ever considering large capex opportunities, such as a renovation, if, and only if, you feel wealthy enough in that moment of decision, you proceed, and you take all the money off the table to ringfence for the project, and manage a predictable cash flow
I didn’t so this… I wish I had

Nice. Stress reduction is the whole point of Bitcoin
The q1 bear of 2026 has hammered out some huge lessons for me
I’ve had to be a forced seller to cover my Reno costs the next few months
I’d much prefer to be buying right now

2026-02-21 19:44:55 UTC

I know a guy running a TG group with technical analysis market commentary
Talk in through “strategy”, good time to buy or sell
Nowhere have they mentioned selling any Bitcoin
But behind the scenes they’ve taken 65% off the table at strategic points on the way down
Each to their own of course
But be careful out their friends

This week, I spoke with David Parkinson, an entrepreneur deep in the Bitcoin journey, turning his passion into a reality. No-one said this was easy, but it sure is interesting! Musqet is a very exciting business, and an example of where I see things going long-term, with practical implementations of Bitcoin in the real world. In particular keep an ear out for his experience fundraising, an area I have more and more interest in.

The same technical analysts that had a chart saying 180k was inevitable
Are now, mhaving said we were in a bull market a few weeks back, are pointing at charts saying it’s going to 40k
More and more I think of it as pointless noise
