📈 In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into how one American manufacturing company revolutionised their business by mining Bitcoin for their employees. What started as a $120,000 investment has grown to $411,000 - and it's all going to the workers who stay.

The results? Staff turnover plummeted from 100% to just 27%. Workers who planned to retire are now staying to get their Bitcoin. This could be the future of employee retention.

Meet Mike and Julie from Blue Cotton - a 130-employee custom t-shirt manufacturing company that's changing the game with Bitcoin. They share their journey from skeptical workers to engaged Bitcoin believers, and how mining Bitcoin transformed their company culture forever.
