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!Mentioned in this episode:
Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach
This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
