In this episode of Sat Chats, we welcome Kayla, a Raleigh-based wedding photographer, mom of four, and co-founder of The Pearl Collective—a private community helping creatives build profitable businesses without sacrificing family life. We explore how she thinks about risk, money, and legacy-building in marriage and whether Bitcoin fits into that vision. Kala asks thoughtful beginner questions about wallets, 529 plans, and whether Bitcoin could power a family vacation. Plus, she becomes the first guest to take a Polaroid for the brand-new Sat Chats wall, thanks to our newest show sponsor— The Pearl Collective.We cover:✅ What actually happens after Bitcoin hits your wallet✅ Bitcoin vs. 529s: Which builds better legacy wealth?✅ Why creative entrepreneurs are perfectly aligned with BTC✅ How shared finances in marriage can shape Bitcoin adoption✅ What Kayla really thinks about fiat, trust, and financial freedomSpoiler Alert: Kala takes the sats but not without causing an f-bomb.
