Join me today to discuss a fascinating thought experiment: what if the public education system as we know it didn’t exist, and we had the chance to rebuild it from scratch using today’s technology? Imagine ditching outdated textbooks for dynamic, digital resources, replacing rigid classrooms with flexible learning spaces, and leveraging AI to create personalized education paths for every student. We’ll dive into how education could look if we stripped away the bureaucracy and embraced innovation, explore community-based learning hubs, and even touch on ideas like a government-funded free online college.

Today we dig into what is known as “the college enrollment cliff” which officially begins in 2025 but has really already begun to be felt.   We will then go beyond that to look at what the cliff says about our economy and society as a whole.  The truth is our nation is in big trouble and in a real way, the pending collapse of many of the small colleges is just one sign of what is coming this way and quite quickly. There are two things driving the college enrollment cliff, they are easy to understand if you examine them … Continue reading →

Join me at 13:00 CST as we continue our multi part series on redefining education.  I thought about calling this series “redefining childhood education” and while we will come at it a lot from what we should teach our kids, I am betting most adults may have to learn over half of the things we will talk about in this series as well.

I understand that many in my audience may be tempted to instantly skip this one, but I urge you not to. I am neither pro nor anti what is commonly referred to today as “artificial intelligence”.

I am not going to rehash that episode today, as it has already been covered. … Continue reading →

Today we discuss 15 things we should be teaching our children that government run schools never will.  Most adults by the way likely need to learn at least half of them.  We are not attacking the school system today though, rather pointing out how valuable this knowledge is and why the state doesn’t want a population to have them. In fact the entire point of this episode is to make you think about what to teach your kids so they can have in the words of every parent ever, “have more than I did when I was growing up” or … Continue reading →
