Drawing Different Maps with Braxton Wood - Act 1

August 29, 2024 Episode 176

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of diving into the fascinating world of homeschooling with Braxton Wood, a self-proclaimed "homeschool dropout" turned successful entrepreneur. Braxton's journey from the mountains of Utah to the deserts of Arizona is peppered with unique insights and unconventional wisdom. We explored how his homeschooling experience shaped his work ethic, social skills, and entrepreneurial spirit. Braxton's candid reflections on breaking stereotypes, navigating full-time work as a teenager, and the unexpected perks of being "the pool guy" in high school had me chuckling. But it was his passionate critique of the traditional education system and his belief in the power of ambition that really got me thinking. As we wrapped up our chat, I couldn't help but wonder: are we doing our kids a disservice by clinging too tightly to outdated educational paradigms?
