THROWBACK INTERVIEW with Connor Boyack: Author of the Tuttle Twins
16 juni 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
THROWBACK EPISODE: Lees meer
Ever wonder how early education can shape the future thinkers of our society? This episode welcomes Connor Boyack, a prolific author, public speaker, TV show producer, and the founder and president of Libertas Institute, who explores this question with us. Connor shares his inspiring journey from web development to establishing Libertas Institute and authoring the Tuttle Twins children's series, which brings complex concepts of economics, politics, and civics down to a level young minds can grasp.
Our conversation takes a deep dive into the importance of fostering learning environments outside the confines of traditional classrooms. Connor emphasizes the role parents play in this process, inspiring them to help their children develop critical thinking skills and learn practical life skills.
We also touch on the perception vs reality of education, highlighting the fallacies in the assumption that schools are teaching children to think rather than dictating what to think. Tune in and empower the next generation of free-thinkers!

96. Nature Journaling PART 1 with John Muir Laws
31 maart 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
Nature journaling maestro John Muir Laws shares his profound insights into the timeless practice of nature journaling, a pursuit that stretches back to the days of Leonardo da Vinci. With a charm reminiscent of Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross, John invites us to open our eyes to the world around us, enhancing our observation skills, curiosity, and creative thinking. By practicing deliberate attention, we can build deeper connections with nature and the people we love, enriching our everyday lives with meaning and wonder. Lees meer
In a fascinating exploration of our cognitive processes, we discuss the concept of distributed cognition and how our brains prioritize specific details over the whole picture. We delve into the surprising caloric burn of chess players due to intense concentration and explore techniques like journaling and note-taking that can amplify our memory retention, extending our cognitive abilities beyond our minds.
Curiosity takes center stage as we uncover the simple yet powerful mantra of "I notice, I wonder, it reminds me of," which acts as a catalyst for engaging with the world. From playful homeschooling adventures with 'home squirrel' to the creative exploration of math through square roots, the episode emphasizes the joy of unexpected learning and playful inquiry. Embracing curiosity, whether through nature, words, or numbers, invites us to linger in the mysteries of life, fostering a more enriched and connected existence.

85. Umbrella Schools, Homeschooling Teens, and Building Community: Interview with Statheros Academy Founder: Colleen Prayne
3 februari 2025 · 50 min
We have the pleasure of speaking with Colleen Prayne, founder of Statheros Academy and host of the Essence of Homeschooling podcast. Colleen shares her heartfelt journey into the world of homeschooling. Our conversation touches on the concept of an umbrella school and how many homeschooling families, including Colleen's, tend to embrace an eclectic approach over time. Lees meer
Join us as we explore the significance of creating an inclusive homeschool community. Colleen discusses the challenges of feeling like an outsider and the importance of building connections within the homeschooling world. For introverted parents, stepping out of one's comfort zone is essential for the development of their children, and we emphasize the value of not homeschooling alone. We introduce the idea of an umbrella school in the context of Colorado's homeschool laws, offering a supportive structure for families. Our discussion highlights the role of experienced homeschool coaches in providing one-on-one support and services to ensure families feel supported throughout their journey.
In this episode, we also navigate the intricacies of homeschooling through high school and preparing for college. With potential insights from a high school specialist, we discuss handling transcripts, college prep, and admissions, ensuring detailed information and comprehensive course descriptions. We consider the unique experiences and challenges of parenting homeschooled teens, focusing on fostering critical thinking skills and strong, opinionated adults. The conversation also touches on the evolving dynamics of parent-child relationships, particularly as children transition into adulthood. Throughout, we underscore the empowerment and support available within the homeschooling community, reassuring families of their capability to succeed with the right mindset and resources.

84. Outwitting the Devil through Education
27 januari 2025 · 1 uur 4 min
I am going to getting hate for this one. Today, we dive into the controversial book "Outwitting the Devil" by Napolean Hill in 1938, but not published until 2011. In this, Hill explores the idea of "drifting" as humans and the roll schools play in the creation of non-thinking drifters. Sit back and have a listen. Agree, disagree...your choice, but it is worth at least discussing. Lees meer

Explore the fascinating art of teaching writing as a powerful mode of expression. We unravel the complexities of nurturing young writers, from sparking initial ideas to crafting coherent essays. By tapping into their creativity through poetry, stories, and academic essays, we aim to equip children with essential writing skills for academic and personal growth. Toriann and I emphasize the importance of positive feedback, celebrating strengths, and maintaining a child's confidence to foster a love for writing.

We've seen how family reading time has dwindled over the years, yet it's a tradition the homeschooling community has fiercely preserved. Through this episode, we offer insights into how past generations, with practices like Bible reading, achieved higher literacy rates, and how you can revive that enriching culture in your home and your homeschooling life.

Through anecdotes and impactful lessons from fictional narratives, such as those embodied by Atticus Finch, we highlight the power of reading to inspire and uplift.
