290: Worldschooling: Beyond The Three R’s – Joshua Sheats

The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

In the second installment of our three-part series, where we discuss everything but finance, Joshua and I delve further into the subject of education and how worldschooling his own five children has altered his ideas about what makes a “well-educated man.” Enjoy! Joshua is an expert financial planner who teaches normal people how to seamlessly connect the science of financial planning with the joy of goal achievement. He is the host of the Radical Personal Finance podcast and, as you’ll hear in this episode, is also passionate about education and worldschooling with his five children.

• Find out what surprised me about Joshua’s evolving thoughts about textbooks, which I absolutely loathe.
• Learn why Joshua and I both see the tremendous value in learning certain subjects through stories rather than through more standard academic approaches.
• Discover what attributes Joshua believes are embodied by a “well-educated man.”
• Listen in to learn about the caveats Joshua and I both add to our own “unschooling” philosophies.
• By the end of this episode, you will have a brand new perspective on the subject of learning, whether you are a homeschooling parent or just a well-educated adult yourself.

CONCLUSION

As you can tell from this conversation, Joshua is incredibly knowledgeable about education. Most of his knowledge was acquired directly through the education of his own children while travelling the world. As an unschooling father myself, I have gleaned so much knowledge from Joshua’s experience. This conversation went so well that it kept going close to another hour, which we will present to you this Wednesday in part three of my discussion with Joshua Sheats. See you then!

Beginning of Q4, 2024, the Panama government has already stated that they are increasing the investment minimums for immigration from $300k to $500k for real estate; we also expect them to make this process more difficult! Because of this, I have decided to run a few quick trips to Panama for our community. Seeing the real estate in Panama is an important part of the due diligence process, that’s why I would like to pay for you to join me in Panama. All you have to do is sign up for the tour at https://expatmoney.com/fly, pay for the tour, and if you end up finding a property that fits your needs on the trip, then the amount you paid for the tour PLUS your airfare (up to $1000 USD) will be taken off the purchase price, making the entire tour and flights essentially free for you. Why am I offering you this awesome deal? Because my hope is you will hire me and my lawyers to do your immigration work! Our company has helped hundreds of people successfully go through the immigration process in Panama, and we do an excellent job, if I do say so myself. This is a service we offer to everyone in our community, but you have to choose a good property that will qualify you first.
