Скачать или смотреть Privacy, Pseudonymity, and Building a Freedom-Based Life

In a hyper public world, privacy is sovereignty.

In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon sits down with Digitalgal, co-founder of Inner Core Ventures, a Puerto Rico based venture studio building acquisition-ready digital startups.

Their conversation explores how to design a freedom-based life. One built on autonomy, intention, and self-sovereignty.

Digitalgal is an entrepreneur and builder who retired at 31 and chose freedom as a design constraint. An early Web3 adopter since 2016, she blends design, decentralization, and culture to launch products and communities. She champions remote-first teams and lives the philosophy she shares in the episode, centered on privacy as sovereignty and treating time—not money—as the ultimate ROI.

Prior to Inner Core Ventures, she founded Bored Agency, a freedom-driven, Web3-focused incubator and consultancy, and exited in 2024.

Simon and Digitalgal discuss early retirement as positive liberty, why “chasing fear” can restore purpose, and how mindset and values drive lasting results.

They cover Web3 concepts beyond the headlines (self-custody, DAOs, token-gating), architecting identity with strategic anonymity, remote work that actually works, and the discipline of detachment, including how to exit before burnout.

Along the way they touch Hermetic Mentalism, culture as capital, proof-of-personhood, and building acquisition-ready products that solve real problems.

“Privacy is sovereignty. It’s about choosing what’s mine to share.” — Digitalgal
