Ep. 27: Natalie Brunell - Breaking Barriers: Women, Bitcoin, and Financial Literacy

My guest today is Natalie Brunell, a journalist, podcaster, Bitcoin educator, and business and financial media commentator. Natalie is also one of the most prominent female figures in Bitcoin today, leading the industry with grace and professionalism, and as such she’s an inspiration to many. In this episode Natalie takes us back to her roots which led her career to Media and into the world of Bitcoin. She discusses her upbringing in a family that valued hard work and openly shared the challenges they faced in Poland, in the US after immigrating and during the financial crisis. Natalie explains how Bitcoin transformed her perspective on money and gave her hope for a future of prosperity and abundance. We talked about a topic we’re both passionate about: the importance of women speaking up, expressing themselves, and claiming authority in their fields. We then discussed the importance of financial literacy and the role of Bitcoin in education, and lastly we touched on podcasting, censorship and independent journalism. Natalie prefers focusing on solutions rather than problems, and highlights the importance of learning, being humble and valuable to others. This is an episode you don’t want to miss!

"Financial literacy needs to spread. I just want to help people with the education of Bitcoin and I want the general public to find it approachable."
