In this episode of the Walking With Jaguars Podcast, Matt Blanco sits down with Riki to explore what it means to wake up inside systems that no longer make sense, and why Bitcoin often becomes the first crack in the illusion.

We begin with institutions. Government, money, education, media, and the quiet bureaucracy that seems to operate without consequence. We break down how short political cycles create short-term thinking, how unelected administrators hold real power, and why so much of modern life feels performative rather than accountable.

From there, we move into money and incentives. Inflation, debt culture, credit expansion, and the illusion of wealth. We talk about what happens when you start questioning the monetary system, how Bitcoin reframes time preference and sovereignty, and why opting out can feel like regaining clarity rather than making a financial bet.

The conversation deepens into plant medicine. Riki shares his first ayahuasca ceremony and how it confronted him with blind spots around love, fatherhood, and self-worth.

Finally we explore faith. Riki describes how ayahuasca unexpectedly brought him into Christianity, not through doctrine or performance religion, but through direct experience.

If you want a grounded conversation about institutional illusion, Bitcoin as a realignment tool, plant medicine, faith, family, sovereignty, and long-term thinking, this one is for you.

In this episode of the Walking With Jaguars Podcast, Matt Blanco sits down with Aga, also known as Akaiyah Fortune, to explore Kambo as both a physical medicine and a consciousness practice, and what it looks like to work with it responsibly.

We dive into physical detoxification and what people are actually carrying in their systems. Candida overgrowth, mold exposure, heavy metals, parasites, and how compromised detox pathways can impact mood, energy, clarity and resilience.

Then we dive into the wonderful world of Kambo. Aga explains how Kambo interacts with the body’s detoxification pathways through peptide signaling.

We break down preparation and integration, contraindications and unpack a controversial but important topic: tapering off SSRIs and opiates with the support of Kambo.

From there, we zoom out to ethics and access. We talk about the current free for all with psychedelics, potency culture, bad dosing advice, and why proper screening and guidance matter more than ever.

We also explore the tension between lineage and direct revelation, when tradition is essential, and when the plants can teach you directly, which is a topic I love to ponder.

Finally, we bring it home to voice and creativity. Aga shares her journey of vocal liberation, how years of inner work opened the channel, and how healing eventually becomes play. We talk about why music and medicine are inseparable, how sound moves energy in ceremony, and what it means to finally live as an artist.

In this episode of the Walking With Jaguars Podcast, Matt Blanco sits down with Bram to explore what sovereignty actually means when you stop treating it like a financial concept and start living it as a moment to moment practice.

We unpack why Bitcoin is not the destination, it is the anchor. Bram breaks down how Bitcoin creates a shared, verifiable truth in a world of narratives and manufactured uncertainty. We talk about why sovereignty is really the ability to make conscious choices, why outsourcing your decisions is the quiet form of slavery, and how opting into responsibility is the only way out.

We also bridge Bitcoin, plant medicine, and the importance of having children despite fiat money being one of the greatest spiritual crimes of the modern era.

If you want a grounded conversation about Bitcoin, truth, sovereignty, plant medicine and building a life with clarity and responsibility, this one is for you.
