The Oto Gomes Crypto Show

Erai Beckman has spent his career building things before the regulations existed to govern them — co-founding the world’s first CBD pharmaceutical company to legally import into Latin America, helping legalize CBD and THC for medical use in Brazil in 2015, and scaling that venture to a $9 billion private valuation. Now he’s applying the same playbook — build according to the law before the industry gets regulated, not after — to Web3.
Erai joins Oto to break down Peace Through Trade, a layer 1 proof-of-work blockchain built on two pillars: full legal compliance (ICO 20022, KYC/AML) and sustainability, including the ability to mine from a home laptop instead of industrial-scale rigs. They cover his own first encounter with Bitcoin in 2012, why regulated industries always see a changing of the guard (and what that means for crypto right now), how AI is being used to secure the network, Peace Through Trade’s UN recognition and first official government partnership, and the legal distinction between a utility coin and a security that sank XRP’s court case.
Technical note: Around 1:20:35, Erai’s camera briefly cut out due to a connectivity issue on his end. We’ve left the audio intact through the transition — we apologize for the short visual interruption and appreciate your understanding.

Oto Gomes sits down with Shawn Rice of Shawn Rice and Associates to discuss trusts, contracts, property, legal authority, and freedom. In a FIRST EVER PUBLIC INTERVIEW, Shawn shares how his Marine Corps experience and a 1992 visit to Cambodia shaped his path, then explains the three questions he asks when examining an agreement.
In this episode, Shawn discusses why he returns to legal texts, how he approaches documentation, and what happens during his firm’s client intake process. Oto also asks him to make these complex ideas easier to understand.

For Shawn, understanding an idea is only the beginning. He discusses the research, documents, and administrative work involved in applying his approach.
The conversation closes with a question for listeners: What is freedom worth to you, and how much effort are you willing to put into understanding the rules that affect your life?

Michael D'alton was a mechanical engineering student fighting asthma and eczema that steroids couldn't touch. After a two-year wait to see a specialist ended with "you have eczema" and nothing else, he stumbled into a bioenergy healing session — and by day three, his symptoms were gone.
That was 33 years ago. He's spent the decades since training thousands of people in the practice, building an international healing school, and appearing on Oprah's network, BBC, and outlets across Ireland and the UK.
Oto and Michael go deep on the difference between Reiki and bioenergy work, the biofield and how frequency shapes the body, why identity is the real obstacle standing between people and their health, and what happened when COVID shut down the 27-year-old school that had become his whole sense of self. It closes with Michael's answer to Oto's signature question: two minutes, a million people, one thing to say before you drop the mic.

07:00 Reiki vs. bioenergy: "first aid vs. surgery"

34:00 Dependency, identity, and re-internalizing self-worth
45:00 Timelines, doom vs. hope, and one person's frequency vs. thousands
53:00 Losing his identity when COVID shut down his school
1:21:00 Final message: "You're always winning"
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Bioenergy healing works on the biofield rather than through touch, and Michael draws a clear line between it and Reiki — he calls Reiki "first aid" and bioenergy "surgery" for how deep and specific the work can go.
Identity is the throughline of the whole conversation. Michael's read is that people don't stay sick because of the illness itself — they stay sick because being sick has become who they are, and changing that requires a different sense of self, not just a different treatment.
The COVID years form the hinge of his own story. He talks candidly about the identity crisis that hit when his 27-year-old healing school shut down overnight, and what it took to find out who he was without the stage.

Episode Summary

Oto sits down with Derrick Broze — independent investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and founder of The Conscious Resistance Network — for a conversation that starts in a Texas state prison and ends with 23 acres in the mountains of central Mexico.
Derrick's awakening didn't begin with Ron Paul or the Federal Reserve. It began the week before he turned 21, when he was arrested for possession of crystal meth and went on to serve 18 months. He walks Oto through what losing everything taught him, how a library book on cannabis history cracked open his first real questions about the drug war, and how a decade of journalism led to his YouTube channel being deleted in October 2020 with 76,000 subscribers.
From there they dig into the pyramid of power, the parasite class and its relationship to addiction, and where blockchain genuinely serves freedom versus where tokenization becomes a control grid.
The back half is the part worth staying for. Derrick lays out exit and build — his answer to people who consume doom and call it awareness — including the Conscious Agora eco-village he's spent five years assembling, the Freedom Cells network that grew from 2,000 to 40,000 people during COVID, and his rewrite of the World Economic Forum's own essay: Welcome to 2030. I own land, live amongst like-minded people, and life has never been better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Derrick's spiritual awakening predated his political one by four years. Prison and hitting bottom came first; the Federal Reserve and Ron Paul came after. His work has always been the intersection of internal and external freedom.
His YouTube channel was deleted in October 2020 for an interview that YouTube said conflicted with World Health Organization standards. It was restored in mid-2025 with videos and thousands of subscribers missing, and has not moved from 74K since.
On blockchain he refuses both camps. He calls himself a "freedom maxi" — the technology is a tool, the World Economic Forum's vision for tokenization is not the same as a private crypto that keeps you out of the banking system, and collapsing the two is a failure of nuance.
His central challenge: plenty of people monetize your fear and never offer a solution, because doom scrolling is the business model. If you don't want their 2030, what's yours? Write it down.
The Conscious Agora is six households on 23 acres outside Morelia, paid off in January 2025 without a bank — partly in crypto — with a vetting process currently open for three more.

Oto sits down with Hans Toohey — former Navy helicopter pilot, Harvard Kennedy School grad, and co-founder of Remnant Finance — for a conversation that starts with a broken contract and ends somewhere very few finance conversations go. Hans was twelve years into a career he'd planned his whole adult life around when he refused the mandate, filed a religious accommodation request, and got benched from the cockpit for two years while the Navy sat on his appeal.
What he did with those two years is why this episode exists. He'd studied contract law as an elective at Harvard, so when the Navy tried to rewrite his contract retroactively, recoup a bonus they'd already paid, and claw back years of flight pay, he recognized exactly what he was looking at. He fought it. The class action won. But the bigger shift was what he taught himself while grounded — that the same contractual thinking he'd used against the Navy applies to how a family holds and controls its money.
From there they dig into human life value, why most fathers are "a McLaren insured like a Civic," the protect-save-grow order of operations, the average-rate-of-return sleight of hand in conventional financial planning, and how whole life cash value works as a contractual, guaranteed, liability-protected asset rather than an expense.
This is a long one and it earns it. Grab a notebook.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Hans filed a religious accommodation request against the military's COVID vaccine mandate and was immediately benched from flying. In naval aviation the timing is rigid enough that two years out of the cockpit ends a career regardless of how the appeal resolves.
When the Navy demanded he restart a three-year contract they had prevented him from fulfilling, he refused on frustration-of-contract grounds. They charged him with breach, recouped roughly $50,000, and assigned it as a debt that followed him to the US Treasury with 30% added on separation.
His framing on protection: your ability to produce income is your greatest asset, and most people insure a fraction of it — "a McLaren insured like a Civic."
Protect, save, grow, in that order. His argument is that conventional planning skips to growth, and a failure at the protection or savings layer disrupts everything downstream.
