EP89: Who Has the Best Hair with @btcessex

Episode • Jun 15, 2023 • 1h 0m

Anyone we’ve met in person will verify that my hair isn’t one of my strengths. Brendo would claim it’s one of his, but that’s a matter of opinion. So, you’d be forgiven for wondering what the hell we’re doing talking to a hairdresser on the podcast.

Frankly, if you’d asked us a month ago if that would ever happen, I imagine a hearty laugh would have been the response. But...a month is a long time in Bitcoin!

Aaron reached out to have a chat and told us that we needed to hear about the confluence of Bitcoin and Hairdressing. So, who the hell are we to dismiss something we had zero knowledge of. And, you know what, he was totally right!
