Tune in now or get left behind.

JLD’s Journey: From Iraq to Igniting Empires

John Lee Dumas didn’t stumble into success. “I’m just a boy from a small town in Maine,” he says, grounding his story in humble roots. After college on an Army scholarship, he led four tanks and 16 men through a 13-month tour in Iraq as a tank commander. Duty done, he chased stability in corporate finance, law school, and real estate. Each lasted a year or two and none fit. “Nothing was answering that bell,” JLD admits, cycling through careers until 2012.

That’s when he discovered podcasting. “I knew I could make a difference with quantity,” he shares, launching Entrepreneurs On Fire as the first—and still only—daily podcast interviewing entrepreneurs. Crisp questions, guest-driven fire: it exploded. Over 4,786 episodes, it’s a beacon for founders worldwide. JLD didn’t stop there. He penned The Common Path to Uncommon Success, a 17-step roadmap to fulfillment, and created The Freedom Journal and Mastery Journal, Amazon bestsellers that turned his passion into a full-time empire. His blueprint? Commit daily, learn from failures, and ignite what lights you up. Entrepreneurs, JLD’s path shows: the next wave starts with one bold move.

Bitcoin: The Fuel for the Coming Success Wave

JLD’s blueprint isn’t just podcasting—it’s Bitcoin. “I fell in love with Bitcoin many years ago,” he says, after thousands of hours consuming content from experts like Michael Saylor. Why? “Bitcoin is the best store of value humanity has ever created.” Unlike fiat currencies, which JLD calls a “melting ice cube” due to endless printing, Bitcoin is scarce: 21 million coins max, with 99% mined by 2035. “Every dollar, every fiat, goes to zero over time,” he warns, even the mighty US dollar.

This scarcity powers the next wave. “One Bitcoin bought a hamburger in 2016. In 2025, it buys a Lamborghini,” JLD illustrates, showing how Bitcoin’s value in real terms surges while fiat erodes. Entrepreneurs, imagine your profits from a liquidity event holding steady or growing against inflation. JLD’s blueprint positions Bitcoin as the engine: volatile short-term, unstoppable long-term. “It’s gone from zero to $112,000 since 2008,” he notes, with crashes of 50-80% every four years as the price of entry. The reward? A 30% CAGR for the next 21 years, per Saylor’s math JLD backs. Don’t sleep on this wave—it’s building fast.

Michael Saylor: Blueprint Architect of the Bitcoin Revolution

At the heart of JLD’s blueprint is Michael Saylor, the MIT grad and Strategy CEO. “Saylor did hundreds, then thousands of hours of work to learn what Bitcoin was,” JLD explains, crediting Saylor’s 2020 pivot. Facing a “zombie company” post-dot-com bust, Saylor studied the Bitcoin whitepaper and The Bitcoin Standard. With $500 million in the bank, he bet big: “We’re going to buy Bitcoin. Sell your shares if you want out.”

Most stayed. Strategy’s first tranche: 250-275 million in Bitcoin at $11,000 each, dipping to $6,000 soon after. Critics called it a disaster. Today? Strategy owns 639,000 Bitcoins, 3% of the total supply, worth billions. “He’s the financial engineering genius of our lifetime,” JLD declares, praising Saylor’s leverage playbook: convertible bonds, preferred stocks (STRF, STRK, STRC, STRD), and ATM shares sold weekly to buy more. MSTR stock? Up 3,000% in five years, outpacing Bitcoin’s 900%. “Saylor’s mindset is: acquire the future,” JLD says. For entrepreneurs, this blueprint amplifies returns—Bitcoin up 5%, MSTR up 10-15%. But JLD cautions: “If you don’t trust Saylor, don’t invest.” The next wave? Companies like Strategy leading it.

Satoshi’s Spark: The Foundation of Bitcoin’s Blueprint

No blueprint is complete without Satoshi Nakamoto. “Satoshi created the protocol that is Bitcoin,” JLD says, the pseudonym for the individual or group who coded it in 2008. They open-sourced it, walked away with no boss, no company, just math-driven scarcity. “It’s best if it’s just given to the world,” JLD reflects on Satoshi’s vision. This decentralized design makes Bitcoin “perfect money”: untouchable, transferable anywhere in milliseconds, no government seizure.

Contrast that with gold: scarce but heavy, taxable, and hard to move. “Bitcoin is digital gold,” JLD says, mined via computers, not dirt. For entrepreneurs, this blueprint means freedom: store value in your head with a 24-word seed phrase for cold wallets like Ledger. Lost it? Over 5 million Bitcoins are gone forever, tightening supply. JLD’s wave analogy hits: demand from nations like El Salvador and Bhutan, plus 180+ Bitcoin treasury companies, floods in while supply stays fixed. “Price goes up, not every day, but over time,” he predicts. Entrepreneurs, this is your surfboard—grab it before the wave crests.

Riding the Wave: JLD’s Practical Bitcoin Blueprint

JLD’s blueprint isn’t abstract, it’s executable. “I’ve put hundreds of hours into applying this knowledge,” he says, recommending Coinbase for beginners: videos, tutorials, even calls for big accounts. For direct control, buy on exchanges like Kraken, transfer to cold storage. “Only you have the 24-word seed phrase,” JLD explains how your net worth, literally in your head. Risks? Lose the phrase, and it’s gone.

Prefer ease? ETFs like iBIT (BlackRock) or FBTC (Fidelity) mimic Bitcoin’s returns in your brokerage. “If Bitcoin goes up 5%, the ETF does too,” JLD notes. Purists say “not your keys, not your coin,” but for most, it’s liquid and low-risk. Then, amplification: MSTR for leveraged Bitcoin exposure. “If Bitcoin drops 10%, MSTR drops 20-25%,” JLD warns, but the upside? Massive. His split for $100: 40% Bitcoin, 40% MSTR, 20% STRD (13% yield, reinvested). “Sweep dividends into Bitcoin or MSTR,” he advises.

Downsides? Volatility is “brutal and painful,” JLD admits and potential freezes on brokerage assets. But cold storage? Unfreezable. JLD’s blueprint flips risks to rewards: “Bitcoin has no counterparty risk.” Entrepreneurs, this is how you ride the wave and start small, stay long.

The Mindset That Powers The Next Wave

John’s journey as a creator, teacher, and global voice for entrepreneurship offers a rare blend of optimism and practicality. He’s not promoting hype—he’s promoting discipline. The kind of discipline that comes from years of building a brand from scratch and helping others do the same.

In this episode, John explores how entrepreneurs can cultivate conviction amid uncertainty. “You can’t wait for perfect information,” he says. “You make your move, you learn, and you adapt faster than everyone else.”

It’s this willingness to act while others hesitate that defines the next wave of entrepreneurial success.

Freedom As The Ultimate Business Model

For John, the conversation around Bitcoin isn’t really about technology—it’s about freedom. True entrepreneurs, he argues, build businesses that serve them, not the other way around. Bitcoin, in his view, is an extension of that same principle.

“Entrepreneurship is about creating freedom in your life,” John explains. “Bitcoin simply gives us another tool to do it better.”

He challenges entrepreneurs to think of Bitcoin not as a side project but as a lens through which to understand the future of ownership, data, and wealth creation.

Lessons From The Fire

John’s wisdom is built on fire-tested experience. He’s seen cycles come and go, from media disruption to AI transformation. Through it all, his philosophy remains constant: entrepreneurs are at their best when they embrace change rather than fear it.

“Bitcoin is just one example,” he says. “The bigger lesson is about how you think. Are you reacting to the world, or are you shaping it?”

For every listener, the takeaway is clear: adopting an ownership mindset—whether through Bitcoin, innovation, or leadership is how you future-proof your business and legacy.

The S&P Trap: Why Bitcoin Beats the Index

Your kids might ask: “Why not the S&P 500?” JLD’s answer: “It’s 7-10 amazing companies and 490 dead ones.” Returns come from the Magnificent Seven—why not own them directly? “If I was young, I’d put a percentage in Bitcoin,” he says. “It’s probably going up forever.” S&P’s steady, but Bitcoin’s the rocket. “Law of diminishing returns applies, but from a $2 trillion asset, 30% CAGR is incredible,” JLD says, echoing Saylor.

For entrepreneurs eyeing exits, this blueprint protects post-sale capital. “You never feel dollars crash 70%,” JLD notes, but Bitcoin’s surges dwarf that. AI? Bitcoin powers it through frictionless transactions, pennies in fees versus 2-5% on cards. The next wave: trillions onboarding via Saylor’s vehicles. JLD’s conviction: “Bitcoin is inevitable.”

From Hype To Humanity

Perhaps the most refreshing aspect of John’s perspective is how human it is. Beneath the tech talk lies something timeless: the desire to make an impact, to lead with courage, and to leave something that lasts.

“When entrepreneurs rise,” John says, “the world rises with them. Bitcoin isn’t about charts or trends and it’s about the freedom to create, share, and live on your own terms.”

Why This Conversation Matters Now

The world is shifting faster than ever. Inflation, technology, and global uncertainty are rewriting the rules of commerce. In that chaos lies the greatest opportunity in decades for those who can see it.

This episode of The Deep Wealth Podcast isn’t about hype; it’s about clarity. It’s about understanding how the principles that power Bitcoin, with its transparency, resilience, and ownership, can help every entrepreneur make smarter, faster, and freer decisions.

John Lee Dumas has ignited millions through Entrepreneurs On Fire. Now, he’s lighting the path for a new era of entrepreneurs who refuse to play small.

Every major business shift creates two kinds of entrepreneurs: those who wait to adapt and those who lead the change. This episode helps you become the latter.
