In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and mind of multidisciplinary artist and philosopher Monika Bravo — a woman whose journey spans continents, paradigms, and dimensions. From her early years in Colombia and Greece to three decades of public art installations around the world, Monika shares how her path of self-education, intuitive inquiry, and disillusionment with institutional systems led her toward synthesis — bridging art, philosophy, Austrian economics, and consciousness. We explore her experience surviving 9/11, her rejection of indoctrination in favor of true education, her awakening to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and her vision for a civilization grounded in value, truth, and individual sovereignty.
