✨What happens when you ditch traditional schooling and fold your child into the rhythms of real life?
I had the pure pleasure of sitting down with Peter, a music producer, author, and homeschooling dad, to explore the unique and beautiful way he educated his son.
Peter and his wife integrated their son John into their music business, fostering his independence and diverse skills. Peter’s son was running the cash box by 8. Later he ran sound checks, managed security and ticket booths. He tried his hand at blacksmithing and learning to fly a plane. Peter’s “curriculum” was anything but conventional. Peter’s philosophy emphasizes following a child’s interests, embracing individuality, and learning through real-world experiences. He’ll even share what happened when his son decided to go back to public high school.
If you're feeling boxed in by traditional education, this conversation will stretch your thinking and inspire new possibilities.

✨INTRODUCING ClarifiEd Show Notes!
I kept finding myself relistening to episodes to remember precisely what resources these incredible veterans recommended or their beautiful quotes, so I decided to write a short, snappy, summary of each episode with my favorite takeaways, inspirational quotes, things I plan to try, thought prompts, and ALL the recommended resources from each episode - all in a nice downloadable pdf.
I’m crafting these show notes as a thank you to my paid supporters. Your help covers video, editing tools, all my time recording and editing these podcasts (it’s a lot of hours friends!). Any level of support comes with access to my You Can Homeschool course.
Thank you friends. Truly♥️
