Florianópolis

Okay.

And now, when I have the chance to go back, I stay in Florianópolis.

My partner is from there.

It's an island in the south.

Yeah, that would be cool.

And like we're also, lately we've been speaking with some of the guys at Florianopolis.

Not so much Bitcoin-only circular economy there, but it's starting to move that way.

So they're very motivated as well.

¿No es así, Judinei?

José, José, me parece muy bueno el formato de que vos hagas una traducción, porque por ahí, por ahí se nos pierden cosas y me parece que vos tenés mucho viaje a Florianópolis y Camboriú.

Sí, sí.

Igualmente estoy, me está ayudando también una, una traducción simultánea.

Um, to the airport.

So now they were about to open all these new international flights, like a direct flight to Florianopolis and a couple other cities in Brazil.

And they canceled all of them right now.

But...

My name is Dominic and today's guest is Lindsay Mueller.

Lindsay is a Canadian singer, songwriter and ukulele instructor living in Florianopolis, Brazil.

She creates uplifting children's music that has been featured in more than half a million Instagram Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts, with her song, Grateful Heart, surpassing 1 million streams on Spotify.

Lindsay also teaches adult beginners around the world through her YouTube channel, online courses and her ukulele for beginners facebook group her relaxed encouraging approach has helped thousands of people discover that it's never too late to learn an instrument she believes playing ukulele is about so much more than mastering towards it's about building confidence finding joy connecting with others and creating a richer happier life through making music So today we are going to talk about how Lindsay grew her Facebook member community without spending a cent and the exact thing that she posted every day to do it.

I'm good." You know, like all of these evil witches, were they really evil, or did the s- the patriarchy rewrite them to be evil? I just spent three months in Brazil at Island of the Witches.

It's called Floripa, Florianopolis.

And this island is where the Portuguese witches moved when they were literally being killed in Europe, and they came down to this island, and it's where they set up their ceremonies and their rituals and their herbs and their tinctures and their full moon circles and all of the things.

And so many of us are like, "That is my dream life." But isn't it funny that all of the Disney movies we watched told us that you're gonna be evil and ugly and sad and alone if you choose that path? And so we're really conditioned for the love story to be about finding someone else and that being the happily ever after.

Yeah.

Um, and so did the Ironman on the way back from doing the Ironman in Florianopolis, Brazil.

I read the book Into Thin Air.

And when I got off the plane, I said, "I'm gonna climb Everest."

Yeah.

And I'd stay in there as much as I could, especially, I came back from a climb, I'd wash my stuff, I'd check on the restaurants, I'd be in there, and then I'd get on a flight and go somewhere else in the world to climb.

You know? But the swimming, when I trained to swim, you know, I became a pretty good swimmer when I was doing the Iron- when I was training for the Ironman I did in Florianopolis, Brazil.

But, you know, you have a wetsuit on.
