Round the Fire with Momo

by Momo Tahmasbi

Health

Round the Fire with Momo is a cozy space where I sit down with friends and inspiring voices to share stories, ideas, and real-life experiences. There’s no set agenda—just honest conversations about the things that shape us. That said, many episodes naturally drift toward topics I’m passionate about, like Bitcoin, keto, and the carnivore lifestyle. So if you're into deep chats, hard money, or healing through food, pull up a seat by the fire.
