Connor Boyack joins Britt to explore the transformation of education, the legacy of the Great American Experiment, and the vital role of family in shaping critical thinking and entrepreneurial mindsets in children. 

Connor shares his journey from finding traditional education uninspiring to creating the Tuttle Twins series, which simplifies complex ideas through storytelling. 

They critique the declining U.S. education system, noting only 13% of eighth graders are proficient in American history and a 40-year trend of mediocrity. The discussion highlights the need for educational reform, competition, and decentralization, emphasizing homeschooling and parental involvement as key solutions. 

They also reflect on historical truths, like the Sedition Act and the founding fathers’ conflicting views, to underscore government overreach and the shifting Overton window, and the need for parents to actively participate in their children's education to prepare them for the future.
