#40: Fear of failing our kids - w/Luba Vangelova from The Hub

Like many parents, I've had moments of wondering if I'm failing my kid. I went through that same process when I began questioning the traditional school system. Initially, I worried about how school might fail my child, but then I started to consider if not following the traditional route of education would lead to failure on my part. Taking the full responsibility for your kids' education can be scary, absolutely. But the more I let go and reflect on our fears, the more I realized - hey, nothing to be afraid of, the biggest thread to my kid is already out the way: traditional schooling. In this episode, I'm talking to the founder of The Hub, Luba Vangelova, about the depths of this fear of failing our kids, and how to escape that fearful cycle and head into a future full of trust. Luba is an unschooling mum herself, she shares a lot about her perspective on unschooling, and of course she introduces us to The Hub, a unique learning-cohort programs for unschooled/homeschooled tweens and teens! Enjoy!

#39: We're somehow the crazy ones - w/Badders

Our kids are spiritually, mentally and physically adventurer by nature - how can we support them? In this wonderful conversation with father and Bitcoiner Badders, it's all about escaping the boxes, the yearning for the wilderness, and humility. Badders explains, how Bitcoin brought him back to nature, and how unschooling looks like in the middle of the French forest for his family. A lot of truth bombs, a lot of soul-sharing!

#38: About Cypherpunks, Lunapunks and so much more - w/AlexAnarcho

You remember when I said "please, invite yourself to my pod, I'd love to hear from you" - and here we go! Alex followed that invitation and showed up to record an episode with me. Alex and I share a story, he was my boss back then when I started to work as a crypto journalist at BeInCrypto (later on I took his place haha, but because Alex had way cooler adventures ahead of him). And Alex basically introduced my to the world of financial privacy, and privacy coins like Monero, as well as the whole idea behind the Cypherpunk movement. And here are all the links to what Alex mentioned in our talk, I probably forgot one or two, feel free to ask me, I'll try to deliver ;) First of all: AlexAnarcho's Podcast Austrian Economics, what is that?! Ayn Rand Privacy Coin Monero The interesting side of the money system: dark.fi Godfather of Cypherpunk: Timothy C. May Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road What has government done to our money - Murray Rothbard

#35: Stop asking for permission - w/Rick from The Bitcoin Way

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!
