Episode notes

Danny Cevallos and his wife unschool their daughter. They take her to a place that is the, actually used to be a school. The kids all learn on their own; it's like Lord of the Flies but with adults supervising. It's about allowing them to follow what is compelling to them for as long as it's compelling.

Joshua Fields Millburn is one-half of The Minimalists. He is also a New York Times–bestselling author, Emmy-nominated Netflix filmmaker, podcaster, writing instructor, and international speaker.

But in this conversation, he spoke about why he doesn’t get too attached to those labels, the practice of grounding, why he doesn’t use his phone on Saturdays, why discipline is a misnomer, and much more.
