Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond

Recently, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about the economy, bitcoin, and the history of monetary systems.

After stumbling on one of Julian’s informative 60 second videos on Modern Monetary Theory, it was only fitting that I reach out him to chat on the podcast. 

Julian Figueroa is a Canadian entrepreneur, filmmaker and bitcoin investor.

This was one of the most fun, engaging and insightful conversations I’ve had in a while. Although the conversation could have lasted a lot longer, we covered several topics, including:

  • The creation of the existing monetary systems and its problems
  • The dilemma which the US faces as the global reserve currency
  • Whether the USD is actually a “safe haven” asset
  • How money scarcity could be a positive for societies around the world 
  • What has to occur for a bitcoin standard to take shape
  • CBDC’s and the risk they pose to freedom
  • Why Julian purchased 5 acres on an island off Vancouver, off the grid

What is Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond?

Founder Views is a podcast for SaaS builders who want real conversations, not recycled playbooks.

Hosted by Kosta Panagoulias, a 2x SaaS founder, the show features in-the-trenches conversations with SaaS CEOs, operators, and experts. Each episode digs into the decisions, strategies, wins, and struggles that shape real companies - practical insights from people actively building, not theorizing.

While the core focus is SaaS growth, leadership, and execution, the podcast also leaves room for broader discussions that help founders think better - whether that’s economics, technology, markets, or other big-picture business topics.

If you want raw, easy-to-follow conversations with people who've actually built something, you’ll feel right at home.
