Jonathan is a homeschool graduate who became the youngest director of admissions in Virginia. He spent 11 years on the inside of traditional higher education. Now, as CEO of Unbound and father of eight homeschooled kids, he’s challenging everything we think we know about preparing young adults for life after high school.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER:

    • Why the traditional college model is fundamentally broken
        • The crisis Jonathan faced: “I’m making a living asking people to make a bad financial decision”
            • Why we’re asking 18-year-olds to make decisions we would never make ourselves
                • How education has shifted from answers-based to questions-based
                    • Why failure needs to be an option (not catastrophic) for real-world success
                        • The real definition of success (not fame, fortune, or power)
                            • How homeschoolers already have an enormous advantage

                              Is the College Model Broken?

                              “I came home and my 11-year-old daughter opened the door. And I thought: I wouldn’t send her to the college where I’m working.”

                              That moment changed everything for Jonathan Brush—and led him to create a completely different approach to post-high school education.
