Thursday Mar 24, 2022

Have you ever wanted to rule over your own nation? On this episode of A Brothers' Creed Podcast we talk about some of the most interesting micro nations around the world. Throughout modern history there have been some people that have started their own small countries. They do this as a hobby, an escape from regulations, gather and house like minded people in a search for freedom, or to just own their own little piece of paradise. Regardless of the reason we explore some of these micronations. We both share the story of SeaLand, which was an old WWII ocean fort that was build by the British to fight off incoming German bombers. As this was built in international waters Roy Bates laid claim to one of these abandoned forts in the middle of the ocean and created his own country with its own flag, passport stamp, and even football club. Ethan then talks about a 3 acre lot of land in Nevada that a man has claimed as a country called Molossia. Molossia has its own currency, president, jail, and a population of 35. Lastly Jared shares about an exotic micro country in the Czech Republic that is ruled by a "Head Mistress" and fulfills the fantasies of some while enslaving others.

#71- Public Education is failing our kids!- Is Homeschooling for me?

Thursday Feb 10, 2022

On this episode of A Brother' Creed Podcast we speak with special guest Brett Pike who is the founder of Classical Learner Homeschool company where he consults and teaches parents on how to teach children in the home. He is a father, husband, teacher, education consultant and author of the Cubs to Bears Book series. Brett shares some of his thoughts on how the public school system today is doing more harm than it is good. "Children are forced to spend their childhood looking at concrete walls eight hours a day, five days a week, 162 days a year, for a minimum of 12 years." Not learning the life skills that they need to become a capable independent adult that will thrive in life. If the public school system is no teaching our children real world skills, then who is? We talk through some strategies that parents can implement in life and at home that will cater to the learning on the child and encourage the development of the things that they are interested in and are good at. Join us as we explore Homeschooling and the future education of our children.
