  • Solutions to the modern/dim age

    As a 50+ year old father of three, living in the Bible Belt, it’s been frustrating to watch the decline of American culture.

    This podcast instead focuses on rebuilding community, exploring what community even is, and solutions to the issues we see in the... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 175 - Empowering Child Entrepreneurs with Leah Ellis
Q: Do you have in-person classes as well as online offerings, and how do those work for busy families?
Yes, we run monthly in-person sessions in South Central Kansas with a pizza-and-Socratic-circle format, and we recently launched an online platform featuring lesson plans and conversation prompts to bring entrepreneurship into homes and classrooms.
Ep. 175 - Empowering Child Entrepreneurs with Leah Ellis
Q: What about balancing parental involvement so kids don't lose ownership of their idea—how do you leave enough space for them to ideate and execute independently?
We position parents as guides who ask questions and provide help only when asked, creating space for the child to own the idea while adults support the administrative and legal steps when necessary.
Ep. 175 - Empowering Child Entrepreneurs with Leah Ellis
Q: Okay, that's awesome. How do you encourage the entrepreneurial mindset in school-age kids given traditional schooling tends to push toward workers, not founders?
We use a Socratic approach: asking lots of questions to spark problem-solving and creativity, then guiding kids to identify real problems and possible solutions they can test with small, practical ventures.
Ep. 170 - How to Start Your Tree Nursery: Building an Edible Perennials Business - with Jason Snyder
Q: What's your plan for licensing and regulatory compliance for selling plants?
They discuss live-plant licenses, inspections, and how shipping across states can trigger additional requirements, with an emphasis on understanding state-by-state rules.
Ep. 170 - How to Start Your Tree Nursery: Building an Edible Perennials Business - with Jason Snyder
Q: Grant, do you grow trees and sell them as well?
Yes, they run a greenhouse operation and sell a mix of trees and other plants, started with a small setup and expanding into tree cultivation for a niche market.
