Mentor Sessions Ep.011: Lenore Skenazy onFree-Range Parenting, Bitcoin, and Raising Self-Sovereign Kids

Did you know 80% of kids today are tracked like FedEx packages by their parents? Eight out of ten—crazy, right? But what if all that hovering is turning our kids into anxious, incapable adults who can’t think for themselves? We’re sitting down with Lenore Skenazy, the fearless mom dubbed “the world’s worst” for letting her 9-year-old ride the NYC subway solo. She’s the brains behind Free-Range Kids and Let Grow, a nonprofit smashing the helicopter parenting epidemic. This isn’t just about letting kids play outside—it’s about raising resilient, Bitcoin-ready rebels who can inherit the future. We’re unpacking how surveillance kills trust, why our safety obsession is backfiring, and how Bitcoin’s self-sovereignty ethos could be the key to badass parenting. Stick around if you’re a parent, a Bitcoiner, or just fed up with society’s nanny-state nonsense—this one’s a must-watch.
