I Asked Bitcoin To Do Too Much (JWP 129)
Between 2023 and 2025, my Bitcoin position grew so fast I thought I'd solved the wealth problem. Then the market turned, hard and fast, and I found out exactly what I'd built.
Turns out I was asking one asset to be four things at once: my growth, my income, my emergency fund, and my peace of mind. When volatility hit, all four failed together.
In this episode I walk through what actually happened (the renovation, the forced selling, the hardest six months of my marriage) and the framework I'm now using instead: every dollar needs one job, not four.
Growth: Purchasing power over the long run.
Income: Money through the front door, however you make it.
Optionality: Cash and available capital, your buffer to survive and act.
Stability: The base layer you never sell, the thing that lets you sleep.
The mistake wasn't buying Bitcoin. It was the architecture.
If you want to try the exercise: write down everything you own, and one sentence next to each, what job is this actually doing for you. If you can't answer it, you've found the weakest part of your portfolio.

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
🙏🏻

The Market Intelligence Report: Version 1 (JWP128)
Early release for all my Nostr friends...
A few weeks ago I sent an early version of my business to 44 people I trust. My main aim: tell me why it wouldn't work. Well over twenty replied. One even told me to get a job. All of it was valuable. What I didn't realise at the time was that I was accidentally building a market intelligence database. This process has fundamentally changed how I think about building Bitcoin Custody Architect.
In this episode I share Version 1 of that report.
What you'll hear:
- Why one opinion is interesting but five independent people saying the same thing is evidence
- How the market moved me from sovereignty to recovery, and from documentation to confidence
- Why multiple people independently pointed me toward financial advisers as a distribution channel I never asked about
- Why the annual review is now part of the core offer, not an afterthought
- Why stories teach better than specifications ever will
- And the biggest lesson from all of it — which had nothing to do with Bitcoin
This is Version 1. I expect it to look very different by Version 10. That's the whole point.
If you have a custody story, a recovery experience, an inheritance challenge, or a mistake you learned from, I'd genuinely love to hear from you. Every conversation improves the next version of this report.

Could You Recover Your Bitcoin Without Your Provider? (JWP127)
I asked Bitcoin Twitter a simple question this week: if you own meaningful Bitcoin, which worries you more, a 50% price drop, or losing access to it?
Almost everyone said losing access. The thread is worth reading: https://x.com/jakewoodhouseio/status/2069199376166301735
One reply put it simply: a 50% drop means you've lost half. Losing access means you've lost it all.
That's what this episode is about.
I recently reviewed one of my own Bitcoin setups and found a gap. A vault I'd created that wasn't properly documented; specifically the derivation path required to rebuild it independently if my provider disappeared. I've been doing this for over a decade and still found a problem.
That's a provider dependency: when your recovery process depends on a specific company, software, or service remaining available.
In this episode I cover what that actually means in practice: a friend's Sparrow update prompt and why pausing before clicking yes was the right instinct; the AUSTRAC Travel Rule coming into effect in Australia on 1 July 2026; a Ledger that died inside a 2-of-3 multisig and turned it into a 2-of-2 overnight; and the questions every Bitcoiner should be able to answer about their own setup right now.
Self-custody is not a destination. It's a process.
If your family cannot recover your Bitcoin without you, you have a Bitcoin dependency. If you cannot recover your Bitcoin without your provider, you have a provider dependency. Both are worth solving.

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.

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

Behind the Scenes: Using AI to Build a Real Business in Real Time (JWP125)
Most people using AI are re-writing emails or summarising documents. That's fine. But this episode is about something different — using Claude as a daily operational co-pilot to actually build things.
Over the last week and a half I built two separate marketing funnels from scratch. One organic, one paid. Different audiences, different entry points, different conversion paths. I'm not a software developer. I'm a podcast host running a productised consulting business from Byron Bay, whilst homeschooling three kids.
Every time I hit a wall — a WordPress setting I didn't understand, a DNS record I was terrified to touch, a ConvertKit automation I couldn't figure out, a Linkedin Ad setting I didn't understand — I took a screenshot, sent it to Claude, and got unstuck in minutes.
That's the episode. Not theory. Not a tutorial. What this actually looks like in practice.
What's covered:
- The two-funnel structure: organic (podcast + Apollo cold email → lead magnet → nurture sequence) and paid (LinkedIn ads → dedicated landing page → free discovery call)
- The "screenshot workflow" — the simplest way to use AI when you're stuck in an unfamiliar tool
- Building a lead magnet page in WordPress with no prior experience
- Creating a five-email nurture sequence in ConvertKit, including the automation logic
- The DNS records moment — being told exactly which one not to touch, and why
- Designing ad creative in Canva, setting up audience targeting, and building the landing page for paid traffic
- Why the master thread / sub-thread / project file structure makes every prompt more powerful

I Ran My $999 AI Assessment On Myself — Here's What I'm Doing (JWP124)
I sell a $999 AI Assessment to Australian small businesses. Last Thursday I ran it on my own business — same call, same interview questions, same Claude prompt, same Gamma report, no shortcuts.
The report told me to do something I hadn't seriously considered: cold email outreach to Australian accountants using a tool called Apollo, with my own self-assessment PDF as the proof piece. Something that wasn't even on my radar a week ago, just this morning at 9am, fired out it's first batch of 10 emails.
Honest point: I don't know if it works. Two weeks left in the proof window to find out!
The entire report — the exact PDF a paying client receives — is linked below.

The Pool Workflow: What AI Just Made Possible for Local Business (JWP 123)
A friend mentioned a story to me last week.
Somewhere in suburban Texas, a pool builder has allegedly built an autonomous AI agent that scans satellite imagery for affluent homes without pools, renders a luxury pool into the actual backyard, estimates the build cost, and mails a personalised postcard with a QR code. No human in the loop. Tens of thousands of homes. Inbound qualified leads.
I haven't independently verified the operator. What I have verified is that every component of the workflow is real, accessible, and being discussed openly across Reddit, LinkedIn, and the AI builder community. And the deeper insight — the one that actually matters — is that AI has just collapsed the cost of hyper-personalised outbound marketing by four to five orders of magnitude. For the first time in marketing history, this kind of campaign is economically viable for local-service businesses.
In this episode I walk through the workflow step by step, dig into the unit economics, name the ethical pushback, and pull it into what it means for Australian small business owners — landscapers, fencers, solar installers, granny flat builders, kitchen renovators. Someone is going to do this in your industry in 2026. The only question is who.
Chapters:
0:00 — Intro
0:55 — A phone call with a technical friend
1:50 — What's allegedly happening: the pool workflow
3:30 — How it actually works: the tech stack
6:00 — Why I haven't verified the operator (and why it doesn't matter)
6:55 — The unit economics — traditional CAC vs AI-powered outbound
9:50 — The real unlock: pre-AI vs post-AI cost maths
10:45 — Where else this applies (solar, landscaping, granny flats, kitchens)
13:15 — The surveillance question
15:50 — What this means for your business
20:00 — The AI Assessment — what's actually in it
21:15 — Why incentives inside large companies will hold them back
25:30 — Why solo operators are about to become more viable
27:55 — Wrap

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

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
- 04:30 — The Deloitte stat that flipped a switch
- 06:30 — The SMS experiment
- 09:00 — The five calls
- 14:00 — The numbers
- 17:00 — The system: Zoom → Claude → Gamma
- 19:30 — The offer & the guarantee
- 22:00 — The Rova experiment and AI slop
- 25:00 — Final thoughts & how to take this up
In This Episode:
- Why I paused The Durable Man and what my wife saw that I didn't
- The Deloitte Nov 2025 stat that flipped a switch (1 in 3 Aussie businesses don't know where to start with AI)
- The 60-word SMS that got an extraordinary reply rate
- Five businesses, five roadmaps:
- Mat (landscaping) — automating labour metrics on invoices

Yes. And it looks great. The issue is Loveable is unable to help with the privacy side of it
We don’t want the user to have any privacy risk (ie health data leaked and potentially used against you)
The suggestion is all device based
But ideally we find someone with decent technical knowledge to help build it privacy-first

Whilst it’s true that AI has hugely compressed the the iteration for a solo entrepreneur
Idea> customer discovery > initial product design > offer validation > pricing > launch
The defensibility I think will come from
- brand (people buy from people)
- execution attention (people don’t always have time to actually take action)

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!

Continue to be
And the metrics I am tracking have moved swiftly
Expense to cashflow being the key currently
Had I been more on top of this the VOL wouldn’t have tripped me up so bad
And yes, loving watching wider markets “de-couple” from Bitcoin for a period

I am calling it “content to call”
It leverages the latest forms of AI, and delivers cost effective leads, of much higher quality

What a few weeks of iteration I’ve been through…
- small business acquisition from a boomer
- digital productisation of your life lessons
- AI implementation opportunities
Trial. Error. Trial. Error. Trial. Error.
Always iterating
Key lesson: the humanistic leverage one’s relationship with their wife enables is huge
Let’s see where it goes

F*cking magnificent stuff man. 10/10 (JWP120)
On New Year's Day 2009 my dad died. Within two years I'd inherited capital I had no idea how to manage. What followed was 17 years of expensive decisions — wealth managers, angel investing, real estate, and Bitcoin, you name it, and I've had a crack at it, whilst recently I've been through a 60% drawdown that brought everything into sharp focus. This episode is the honest story of what happened, what it cost, and what I built from it. Including the text message exchange with a close friend — right at the hardest moment — that has became the foundation of everything I now share. Sound Money. Sound Mind. Sound Marriage. This is The Durable Man. If this resonates, please reach out: [email protected]

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.
