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.

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!

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.
