Building with Bitcoin, Unimogs and Ubermongs | The Confab 13: Ben Gunn
In this episode of The Confab, I reconnect with my eccentric yet brilliant friend, Ben Gunn. We dive into a catch-up session, reflecting on our last podcast and the whirlwind of events that have unfolded since. Ben, known for his unique perspective and relentless drive, shares updates on his ambitious projects and the exciting developments at his new site.
We explore the potential of creating a hub for like-minded individuals, particularly Bitcoiners, who are looking for a space to innovate, collaborate, and build. Ben's vision of a multi-use site that caters to various projects, from co-working spaces to fabrication workshops, is both inspiring and practical. We discuss the importance of having a physical location where creativity and collaboration can thrive, away from the noise of the world.
Throughout the episode, we touch on the challenges and triumphs of building something meaningful in today's world. We also delve into the importance of community, trust, and shared resources in creating a sustainable and innovative environment. Ben's passion for his work and his commitment to fostering a supportive community is evident, and it's clear that exciting times are ahead for Ungovernable Misfits and its listeners.
Join us as we break the ice, both literally and metaphorically, and explore the possibilities of what can be achieved when driven individuals come together with a shared purpose. Whether you're in the UK or beyond, this episode is sure to spark ideas and inspire action.
