Who you’re working with
In crypto since 2012. Author of The Silver Bomb (opens on Amazon in a new tab), The Silver Canary (opens on Amazon in a new tab) and Crypto Inheritance.
Money and technology stopped being separate conversations. I was early to both, and today I build with AI as well as talk about it.
I build my own AI tools and put them to work on your questions before we meet. They do the reading. The judgement is mine.
Every decision about your money stays yours. What I sort out is where your assets live, who else can reach them, and what becomes of them if something goes wrong.
What we cover
You bring the questions. We go as deep as each one takes.
Part one — where this is headed
- Your questions, first
- Where money and technology are going
- How to read a project for yourself
- How to spot a scam early
Part two — what you do about it
- AI opportunities, in business and in life
- Where AI earns its place, and where it’s hype
- Safe ways to move forward
- Where your crypto actually lives
- Backup and recovery that holds up
- A plan for your family

No commission, from anyone
I take nothing from any hardware wallet, exchange or custody service I mention. No affiliate links, no referral fees, no sponsorship. When I tell you to use something, that is the only reason I am telling you.
Ask anyone else advising you on custody the same question. Be careful with the ones who answer slowly.

Crypto Inheritance
Crypto Inheritance on Amazon (opens in a new tab)A holding your family cannot reach is a holding you gave away. (opens on Amazon in a new tab)
Put your recovery phrase in your will and you have published it. In most of the United States a will that goes through probate becomes a public court record. Anyone can ask the courthouse for a copy.
Twenty-seven short chapters on what to do instead, and six templates you fill in by hand, on paper, because this is the one thing that should never sit in a file. One afternoon is enough.
The book is the part you can do alone. The session is the part you cannot.
