From Real Estate & Plumbing to Bitcoin Freedom.

Career Transition and Entrepreneurship:
Myles Dhillon’s journey spans music royalties, property flipping, and plumbing entrepreneurship before transitioning fully into Bitcoin. Initially a musician with minor sync-ad revenue, he shifted into London property flips, making modest profits but facing intense competition and low returns relative to time invested. Dhillon later scaled into buy-to-let properties, inspired by Rich Dad Poor Dad principles, seeking passive income. To reduce renovation costs, he trained as a gas-safe plumber, eventually running a small but profitable plumbing and heating business. However, scaling introduced diminishing returns—20% profit increases but 50% more stress—and high liability from frequent boiler failures. Traveling Asia with family became the trigger to sell his business entirely in June, a move he describes as a “huge freedom release.”

Property vs Bitcoin Investment Philosophy:
Dhillon critiques real estate as overhyped “safe as houses” propaganda, citing low net yields (~5%) and poor capital growth versus Bitcoin’s exponential potential. He recounts painful London property losses, 20–25% under market, and endorses reallocating equity to Bitcoin despite emotional resistance rooted in years of manual labor. The discussion highlights the psychological challenge of abandoning cash-flow security for high-growth assets, the opportunity cost of holding real estate, and timing cycles—selling before the next bear market and re-buying Bitcoin 12–18 months later.

Bitcoin as Hope and Lifestyle Enabler:
Bitcoin transformed Dhillon’s mindset from hourly labor to long-term wealth preservation, funding extended travel and homeschooling. He emphasizes saving in Bitcoin as a modern form of “sound money,” contrasting it with inflationary fiat. Anecdotes include aggressive DCA behavior inspired by Michael Saylor, convincing peers through cross-border self-custody use cases, and emotional security knowing fiat is “trash to spend responsibly” while Bitcoin accumulates.

Homeschooling and Future Preparation:
Dhillon’s family now homeschools three children, rejecting outdated industrial-age education. Prioritizing communication, entrepreneurial skills, and curiosity over rote learning, he reports rapid literacy improvements and entrepreneurial experiments (e.g., his son creating a Rubik’s Cube course). The conversation frames homeschooling as optimal preparation for a volatile AI-driven future and raising socially adept, value-creating adults.

Podcasting and Digital Networking:
Dhillon launched Bitcoin for Everyone after prior ventures (Plain English Investing, AI for Everyone), motivated by connection-building and onboarding peers into Bitcoin. Podcasting’s ROI, as discussed, lies not in sponsorship but in relationships, opportunities, and conviction-building. He plans to outsource editing, grow via video content, and expand reach on YouTube, X, and Fountain.

Cultural Shift and Orange-Pilling:
Despite 10 years in plumbing, only one peer bought Bitcoin. Dhillon reflects on conviction-driven allocation, using relatable narratives over speculative hype to orange-pill tradesmen. His journey illustrates Bitcoin as a “digital breadcrumb trail,” enabling ordinary professionals to exit stressful work, achieve financial sovereignty, and prioritize family and meaningful work.
