“Bitcoin taught me low time preference. Low time preference forced me to confront my mortality. That led me to Jesus.” 

- Adam O’Brien, CEO of the Bitcoin Well.


In this episode, Adam shares his journey as one of the youngest CEOs of a publicly traded Bitcoin company. He opens up about how his faith in Jesus helps him lead with integrity while navigating the demands of business, marriage, and fatherhood. From self-custody to self-reflection, this is a rare and honest look at the intersection of Bitcoin, leadership, and belief.
