Ask Isaac: College, Books, Startups, and Unschooling Challenges Sep 10, 2015

Show notes

I take some great questions submitted via isaacmorehouse.com/ask-isaac: You went to college — when and how did you decide it wasn't the best path for most people? Reading list for someone who is interested both in philosophy and business? Do you think startup is becoming a buzzword? Would it be better to just create a business? Challenges you face as an unschooling parent? Surprises?

27 - Michael Gibson on Leaving Academia to Pursue Ideas Aug 24, 2015

Show notes

Michael Gibson was pursuing a PhD in philosophy when it struck him that the really big ideas weren't being advanced within the walls of academia. He left, got into the tech world, and found himself running investor Peter Thiel's fellowship program for young college droupouts. He's recently co-founded his own venture capital fund to support young people who want to work on big ideas outside of the classroom. We discuss his love of literature and philosophy, how he wound up in Silicon Valley, and what it looks like to operate outside the status quo.

26 - Jeremy McLellan on Doing Comedy Aug 17, 2015

Show notes

I'm always impressed and fascinated by comedians. It's a tough gig. Jeremy McLellan is a comedian in Charleston, SC who never stops writing material. In addition to performing several times a week he is constantly sharing bits and jokes (there is a difference) on Facebook. He's also running for mayor of Charleston on a popular platform of issues like the need to re-institute prohibition and seal off Charleston's borders to protect the inhabitants from neighboring cities.

Lehla and her husband run the website unschoolingthekids.com and are the authors the book Unschooling: The 6 Keys to Our Children's Future. They are both from England, but spent 15 years in South Africa working in the film industry then owning their own cafe and raising kids before eventually settling (for now) in Italy. We discuss the challenges of making big life and career moves, how they discovered alternative education, and what it's like unschooling three kids on a daily basis.

Historian and author of "A Renegade History of the United States" Thaddeus Russell joins me to discuss his work and the notion that the "renegades" might be the ones to thank for our freedom, not the puritanical political busybodies.
