In this episode I'm little Morty learning from Rick from The Bitcoin Way a lot about self custody, Bitcoin mixing, KYC-free BTCs, and so much more.

What does that have to do with unschooling?

I tell you what Bitcoin has to do with unschooling. One is decentralized money, the other is decentralized education. And after this episode you will see the many, many, many parallels between Bitcoin and unschooling. And you'll probably want to get yourself some Sats (Bitcoin) from BISQ or a local Bitcoin ATM. Self-sovreign all the way!

There are millions of reasons to unschool, homeschool and worldschool - but in this episode I want to share my top whatever reasons why we as a family decided to skip that compulsory schooling experience.

I hope you enjoy this episode, let me know! And - let me know why you chose to unschool!

And this time an awesome episode of an unschooling journey in Sri Lanka! Nelum might be the first radical unschooling mum in Sri Lanka, and is sharing her journey with us - from why and when she started free education and how that changed her whole lifestyle, relationships and self.

I really enjoyed talking to Nelum - I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. My favorite moment? When Nelum explains, that you don't HAVE to answer all these people's questions about your life, and how much unschooling changes every detail of… well, everything? :)

Check out Nelum's work here, it's absolutely amazing what this mum of 4 is pulling off!

So, welcome to my first solo episode, it only took me 1 year to get to that point to speak to you just you and me ;)

Anyway, I'll try to drop these short solo episodes from time to time with unschooling and deschooling insights from our life - let me know if that is something you want to hear about more often!

And please, give me feedback, let me know if you want to join me on an episode, and tell me what specific topics I should cover <3

Lots of love,

Alex

Books I mentioned in the episode:

In this episode, I'm speaking to Peggy Webb, Founder and Director of West River Academy.

West River Academy, founded in 1993, offers families worldwide the freedom to make their own educational decisions, allowing children to explore their innate life purposes and passions. The school converts natural learning experiences into academic credit, providing annual enrollment, official transcripts, and high school graduation, creating a supportive environment for students to thrive outside traditional educational constraints.

Peggy is mum (and grandma!) of 3 unschooled kids and shares a lot of insights about her unschooling and deschooling journey - enjoy <3

If you're into unschooling, sooner or later you'll stumble upon Pat Farenga. In case you haven't - Pat is an American writer and educational activist, you should check out his talk "Why forced education kills learning".

Pat leads us through the wonderful world of unschooling, shares a lot of stories about his friend and unschooling advocate John Holt - and introduces me to the "open-door-policy". Hope you enjoy this episode as I enjoyed the conversation with Pat!

And, by the way, this is my 30th episode, thank you so much for being part of this :)

In this episode, I'm talking to Summer Jean! She was unschooled and is sharing her perspective on unschooling with us.

What's really interesting—and this is also my conclusion from the last ten years—is that unschooling is not something you simply do or don't do in terms of education. It's more about the way you see life.

For everyone listening, reach out to me! Tell me if you'd like to be on the show or if you have a specific guest or topic in mind. Share it with me! 😉

Really interesting is - and this is also my conclusion of the last 10 years - unschooling is not something you do or don't do in terms of education, it is more about the way you see life.

I hope you like this episode, there will be two more episodes with Summer soon - so stay tuned!

And for everyone who is listening - reach out to me! Tell me, if you like to be on the show, if you have a specific guest or topic in mind, … share it with me ;)

You probably noticed, that I didn't launch any new episode last week (Shame on me! The plan was to publish weekly!) - and that's because I'm working quite hard on the next level of this podcast. So stay tuned, I'll make some changes to this little pod ;)

But for now, enjoy this episode with this ABSOLUTELY stunning, beautiful couple, Joy and Mayur Sontakke from Vietnam/India. They're all about building communities, co-living, co-working, homeschooling/unschooling, and I somehow fell in love with them. After this episode, you'll be in love, too.
