#3211: The Case For Homeschooling [Part 2 of 4]
We’re back with part two of The Case for Homeschooling! Today, I’m talking about three more reasons why homeschooling makes sense. First, if your kids grow up with a different worldview than you wanted, remember—you’re the one who sent them to that school for 12 years. Second, you don’t have to do it alone! You can team up with other parents and homeschool together. And third, homeschooling lets you customize learning to fit your child’s strengths and interests instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all system. We’re not done yet—two more episodes to go!
Show Notes:
[02:10]#4 Parents are responsible for their children's worldview.
[14:13]#5 Partnering with other parents for homeschooling resources.
[18:05]#6 Customized learning.

#3209: Parents: YOU Are Responsible For Your Child's Education
Let’s talk about something important—your child’s education is your responsibility. A lot of people are questioning the school system right now, from student loans to what’s being taught in classrooms. Some parents are choosing homeschooling, others are looking for different options. In this episode, I’ll break down why you can’t just trust the system and why it’s on you to make sure your kid gets the right education.
Show Notes:
[06:03]#1 Teachers are not at fault for what your child does not know, has not grasped, cannot do, or cannot comprehend.
[13:11]#2 It is your job as a parent to have educated, intelligent children.
[17:34]#3 Whatever worldview you want your kids to have, you must teach and install that worldview.

#3208: Everything Is Rented
You might think you own the things in your life, but the truth is, you don’t. Everything—your money, your relationships, even your skills—needs constant investment to keep. If you stop "paying the rent," it’s gone. In this episode, I’ll break down what that really means and why nothing is ever truly yours.
Show Notes:
[03:31]#1 Anything you have to continually pay in order to keep it is not yours.
[07:03]#2 Your physical body is not yours.
[16:08]#3 Your mind and your way of thinking is rented.
[19:48]#4 Nihilism.

#3207: 6 Keys To Getting More Things Done [Part 2 of 2]
Let’s keep it going with part two of getting more done. First, stop relying on talent—use systems. A good system does the hard work for you so you can focus on bigger things. Second, do what excites you or leads to exciting results because energy is 85% of the job. And third, write things down and prioritize them. Simple stuff, but most people ignore it. Don’t be that person. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[02:35]#4 Operating by systems and not by talent.
[11:19]#5 Do things you're excited about or that produce exciting results.
[17:24]#6 Write down everything you need to get done then prioritize what is the most important thing.

Let’s pick up where we left off. If you want to grow, you have to give up some control. If you’re serious about ambition, you can’t waste time relaxing. And if you want real responsibility, you have to stop making excuses. At the end of the day, the only person to hold accountable is the one in the mirror. Let’s get into it.

#3203: Why Instagram "Ass Models" Exist
This topic came from a conversation I had with a woman who wasn’t too happy about Instagram models. She wanted me to agree with her, but I told her straight up—I’m not here to talk down on them. Like it or not, they play a role in society, just like anything else. You’re either watching them, losing time scrolling past them, or you are one. Let’s get into it.
Show Notes:
[03:39]#1 Instagram ass models are not in existence just to get likes, engagement, and attention.
[08:00]#2 Expectations for men and women have changed.
[15:20]#3 Social media has allowed even more for women to actively, freely, and in volume advertise themselves for such arrangements.
[19:41]#4 The game is about financial arrangements, not romance.
[25:25]#5 Attractive women can now leverage social media, what's available to everybody to show off their physical assets, and they can fish for men who are willing and able to financially support them in exchange for those looks.

#3202: How To Be A "Lawyer" On The Internet [Part 2 of 2]
Let’s finish this two-part series on being an "Internet lawyer." Today, I’m covering three final points: answering tough questions, thinking logically, and always finding a way to be right. If you want to see what it looks like to get grilled, watch Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing—it’s a perfect example. The best lawyers know how to control the conversation, even when they’re wrong.
Show Notes:
[02:19]#4 Be willing and able to take and answer questions, even confrontational questions.
[08:47]#5 Be highly logical and aim for objectivity.
[15:22]#6 Find a way to always be right.
