Meet this weeks guests
@thecrazygm and @ecoinstant
🎙️ Michael Garcia (aka @TheCrazyGM) is a builder by instinct and a creator by craft. Whether he’s architecting powerful web applications, designing immersive RPG campaigns, or modding out the perfect desktop setup, Michael thrives where technology and imagination collide. A lifelong problem solver with a passion for open-source innovation, he’s developed a growing library of tools that empower others to create and connect. A Linux veteran since 1996, Michael brings decades of technical grit to everything he touches—from IT infrastructure to blockchain experiments to game design. If it’s complex, nerdy, and worth building, chances are he’s already on it.
Alex E.B. Trapp (EcoInstant) is a lifelong advocate for open-source systems and regenerative futures. With roots in sociology and a deep commitment to sustainability, Alex has spent over a decade in Colombia blending permaculture, ecological restoration, and open-economy innovation into real-world solutions. Whether it’s building decentralized tools, launching ethical enterprises, or reviving landscapes, he’s drawn to complex systems—and thrives on untangling them. For Alex, the messier the challenge, the more rewarding the breakthrough.
We’ll be diving into:
- what’s the real deal with dev’s
- when someone says ‘hey, I’ve got an idea for an app’ is a dev filled with joy?
- can we open this Mithril
- is this worth money?
- if you build it, they will come… but who are they?

What is the Hive Thrive?
Here at Hive Thrive we see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:
✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage
