This is a replay of the very first episode of Seemingly Ordinary, which debuted in 2020.

I ask Lee Ann Oches, a smart lady with six kids, what she would do differently if she had $20M and unlimited help in educating her six kids. Plus, we discuss at least eight jobs that one or both of us think every person should have for six months or longer.

This is a new kind of school, although there are 300 of them, worldwide, and they've been around since 2009. They help kids perform 1, 2, or even 3 grade levels ahead, and they teach kids to start their own businesses, start their own charities, write their own plays, or otherwise build something that matters to the public. They are very different. Jacob & Caitlin McKnight are opening one: OriginsKC, in Pleasant Valley.

Jacob McKnight is starting a brand new school, and he's also lived an incredible life. In this episode, I wanted to hear stories from his life--and what a shock! His two young daughters could have died. Not only that, if they lived, the chance that both would recover from what happened to them--nearly drowning--was under 4%. And yet...well, you'll just have to listen.

Jacob also spent time in Iraq, and helped soldiers survive after they'd lost a lot of blood. 

We also discuss a little about his new school, which is an Acton Academy. We start with that, because that's his major professional goal, but what an Acton is, and how it's different, is our topic for December 10, 2024.

Money. Romance. Careers. Love. We all have opinions and attitudes on life's most important topics--but where did we get them? Chances are, we absorbed them when we were too young to do anything else, maybe from family, friends, enemies, the media, and more. And then, by the time were were 25, we have a whole range of beliefs that have shaped our lives--sometimes for greatness, and at other times, for pain. 

Adam Clement--marriage therapist, business creator, and personal finance expert--and I discuss subconscious programming: what is it, how can we identify it, and is it possible to change your mind when it would be to your benefit to do so? Our conversation may wander, but everything Adam says is always worth listening to.

What is confidence and how do you get more of it? Marriage, addiction, trauma, and otherwise great therapist Adam Clement explains.
