Wild Life Unschooling

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Welcome to the Wild Life Unschooling Podcast, where we explore alternative education and empower families to embrace unconventional paths. In this enlightening episode, join us as we engage in a captivating conversation with entrepreneur, author, proud father of six, and Bitcoin enthusiast, Jimmy Song.

With a focus on family values, and the indoctrination prevalent in traditional schooling systems, Jimmy offers a unique perspective on how unschooling can provide a powerful antidote. Jimmy shares personal anecdotes and insights into how unschooling allows families to cultivate their unique set of values, fostering a deeper connection and sense of purpose within the family unit.

Furthermore, we delve into the pervasive nature of propaganda and indoctrination within traditional schooling systems. Jimmy shines a light on the importance of critical thinking and independent learning in helping children navigate the barrage of biased information and develop a well-rounded perspective on the world.

"I promised the kids a puppy if they would come on this trip. So all during the trip they were looking up different breeds and the entire process of getting a dog, how to take care of dogs, and what to do with dogs. Those are all things they were curious about, and that's an avenue of curiosity […] maybe that becomes a passion or something. But those are wonderful ways to sort of engage with them and help them. The stuff that we learn in school is just so damn boring, you know. A lot of times it's like, who cares?!"

As a passionate advocate for Bitcoin and its underlying principles, Jimmy draws parallels between the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and the ethos of unschooling. He explores the intersection of financial freedom, intellectual sovereignty, and independent education, demonstrating how embracing alternative paths can empower individuals and families to challenge the status quo.

Why are there so many Bitcoiners into unschooling? Because Bitcoin and unschooling are following the same path: the separation of things and state.

In this episode, I'm talking to Andrew Howard, Chief Business Development Officer of Bitcoin Reserve and author at Bitcoin Magazine, about how indoctrination and propaganda in schools are motivating more and more families to build their own parallel structure for the education of their kids - unschooling.

“I think we're seeing a common trend, which is the separation of things and state. So we had the printing press released in sometime in the 1500 […] that led to the separation of church and state. And Bitcoin, released on October 31, 2008, is leading to the separation of money and state. And right now, unless you want your child to be a gay communist, then we're going to see the separation of education and state.”

Andrew is one of the Bitcoin influencers, you don't want to miss. With his great passion for the financial revolution and his strong sense for a lifestyle based on freedom, Andrew brings a unique perspective on how unschooling can foster independent and critical thinking, paving the way for success in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Whether you're a parent considering alternative education options or simply curious about challenging societal norms, this episode offers a captivating exploration of unschooling. Andrew Howard's thought-provoking perspectives, intertwined with personal anecdotes and practical insights, make for an enlightening conversation that will inspire you to reimagine education and unlock the full potential of independent minds.

Tune in to this enlightening episode and discover how unschooling, guided by the wisdom of Andrew Howard, can shape the future of education and empower individuals to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

You don't believe in unschooling? Education rebel Mariana Ludmila Cortez will change that. She has two unschooled kids, who are now studying in university – yes, you read that right, the two are studying like “normal” young adults.

In this episode, founder of the two educational projects Desescolarizados and Edularity, tells us how she went from homeschooling to unschooling, and why giving up on the way is perfectly normal. Also, we have a little “Bitcoin rabbit hole” moment here and there, because Mariana is as fascinated as me by the decentralized nature of the first ever cryptocurrency:

“I also got attracted about what's blockchain, and what's Bitcoin? So when I started to research what was that, it completely made sense. The philosophy, the peer-to-peer, decentralized approach. And to me, it was like an immediate connection to education, and I was like, ok that is liberty, that is how I educate my kids: peer-to-peer, decentralized.”

Melissa from World Travel Ambitions is mum of 4 kids, and tried it all - from traditional school system, to homeschooling, unschooling, and worldschooling. In this episode of Wild Life Unschooling Podcast Melissa shares with us, how her and her family's perception and needs regarding education changed, and how the transition between the different educational approached worked out.

How does education work on the go? How much time do kids really need to actively learn in a traditional sense, and why are 10–60 minutes a day enough to keep your kid's educational journey going?

“Well, if I can do in less than an hour a day what a school can't achieve in like 6 to 8 hours a day, and then they still send homework on top. There's something wrong.”

Didi Taihuttu from “The Bitcoin Family” is unschooling/worldschooling his 3 kids. After going all into Bitcoin, entrepreneur and author Didi initiated amongst other projects a Bitcoin-funded school in Mexico - and inspires other families to discover sound money and self-directed learning.

While traveling the world for the last couple of years and visiting over 40 countries, Didi and his family were featured by CNBC, CNA, WJS, ARTE and many other local news agencies. Didi is also capturing the Bitcoin Family´s on their own YouTube channel, and is spreading awareness about self-sovereign lifestyle in countless podcasts.

“We as a digital nomad family brainwashed our kids anti-government, anti-bank. Kids that have hope left for a better future and that will share that around again. It needs always to be one in the family that breaks the circle. And if you break the circle, then you provide a new way of living and a new future for your children. But if you keep running that hamster wheel, kids will follow you.”

Since a couple of years I have been following their journey, and Didi with his never-ending-energy, enthusiasm, and honesty never failed to surprise me. Get to know Didi Taihuttu a bit better with me!

Guess who I'm talking to today, it's Amin Rafiee, the Founder of the World’s first Decentralized Autonomous University, Bittopia University. He is a huge fan of decentralization, P2P economies, privacy, and bottom-up strategies. But also is Amin international speaker and educator, bio-hacker, journalist, designer, is there something this guy is not capable of doing?

We deep dive into the topic of decentralized education, we talk about the many benefits decentralized education has, how the decentralized university works, and we elaborate, why students should be the real stakeholder of their university. Of course we fall into the Bitcoin rabbit hole here and there, and we show you, how many similarities between knowledge and currency are.

“Kowledge is currency, for me is derived from the idea that through knowledge you can absolutely transform your life. You can do anything, as long as you know how to. The entire concept of Internet is on the premise of knowledge. It's what transformed so many peoples lives and also impacted in negative ways, too. Though, knowledge has been a sense of transformation since the dawn of human existence.”

In this episode I have a very special guest visiting - my friend Maria. Maria is really doing it differently. She is breaking with the status quo, she is all about experiencing life in it´s deepest form - who are we, and what do we actually want from life? And of course these questions lead us to - does education for our kids has to be mainstream?!

Maria, mom of 4, Norway, who lived in Germany, travelled the world, now is living on the Canary Islands, moviemaker, businesswoman, wife, friend, and so much more.

I met Maria in a cave at a wild beach, where we both went “cave-camping” with our kid(s). We instantly bonded, we had some pretty nice days in the sun, we shared a wonderful camping-experience, and talked about everything and beyond.

"A few years ago we started to question our lives, our believes, the way we live, the way we work, the way we think. So we sold our house in Germany, and we went on a journey with our kids for one year to Asia, to Australia, to New Zealand, and this was a really awesome experience for us, to really trust, trust, that things are gonna be ok. And to learn what feels right for us, and not what´s expected from us from the church or from society or from my family."

In this episode, we talk about expectations, and how the expectations from outside (and sometimes inside), have an actual impact on our lives and well-being. Besides that, Maria tells us, why she wants her kids to go to school, why longterm-homeschooling or unschooling is not the right solution for her family, and why there is no perfect solution - how does the perfect life look like?
