  • #72 Jordan Walker - Bitcoin on the Balance Sheet: Why Business Owners Can’t Ignore It Anymore
    Jul 10 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to The Bulletproof Entrepreneur, the podcast where we explore what it really takes to build, grow, and successfully exit your business.

    The podcast is designed to be a helpful resource for business owners as they navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses. One area I’ve been spending time on recently is managing cash within your company's balance sheet.

    At my firm, we’ve always kept a healthy cash balance, but the interest rates we receive from our bank is pretty low—after I factored in tax and inflation, that money was melting like an ice cube. It’s probably the same for your business.

    That’s why I was keen to hear from today’s guest, Jordan Walker - founder of The Bitcoin Collective, host of the popular podcast by the same name, and one of the UK’s leading voices in making Bitcoin accessible and actionable for business owners.

    He’s on a mission to strip away the jargon, cut through the hype, and help entrepreneurs understand how Bitcoin could play a meaningful role in their financial strategy.

    Jordan recently launched a service specifically for business owners who are keen to explore how to allocate some of their company’s deposit funds into Bitcoin safely, strategically, and with the right education and support.

    In this conversation, we cover the real risks, the big opportunities, and why he believes that understanding Bitcoin is becoming essential for forward-thinking entrepreneurs.

    If you’ve dismissed Bitcoin as too volatile or too complicated, or if you're simply curious about where it fits into the world of business and money, this episode will challenge your assumptions in all the right ways.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Jordan Walker.

    Welcome back to The Bulletproof Entrepreneur, the podcast that gives you the mindset, strategies, and tools to build a resilient business and thrive under pressure.

    Today, I’m joined by a true pioneer in the world of food entrepreneurship – John Stapleton.

    John is best known as the co-founder of The New Covent Garden Soup Company, where he didn’t just launch a product; he created an entirely new category in the UK food market.

    He later took that same disruptive energy to the US and then back to the UK again with Little Dish, the toddler food brand that redefined what healthy eating looks like for young children.

    Across multiple ventures, John has built and scaled companies from the ground up, exited successfully, and stayed right at the heart of innovation as a founder, investor, and mentor.

    In this conversation, we explore how to spot market gaps, stay resilient through the highs and lows, prepare for exit, and reinvent yourself after success.

    If you're a founder scaling towards a sale—or just trying to build something that lasts—this episode is packed with the kind of insight that only comes from the real entrepreneurial trenches.

    So without further delay, let’s dive into this inspiring conversation with Mr John Stapleton.

    If you're a business owner or in a leadership role, this episode could genuinely change how you think about running and growing your company.

    My guest is Mike Paton, an entrepreneur and author who is one of the driving forces behind EOS—the entrepreneurial operating system

    We implemented EOS at my firm, Capital Partners, a few years ago, and it was truly transformative. So getting the chance to sit down with Mike was not just a privilege - it was personal.

    • Mike explains EOS and walks us through the six key components every business must master to become more focused, accountable, and scalable.
    • We also explore the vital roles of the Visionary and the Integrator and how getting that relationship right can be a game-changer.
    • And if you're thinking about selling your business one day, listen closely—Mike explains how fully embedding EOS can significantly boost the value and readiness of your company for exit.

    Whether you’re already familiar with Traction, or you're hearing about EOS for the first time, I promise you’ll walk away with powerful, practical insights and a few lightbulb moments!
