Straight talk about money for people who want to exit rich and retire free. I'm Jeff Kikel, and for 30 years I've helped business owners and high earners build wealth, sell their businesses well, and retire on their own terms. This is where I share what actually works, without the jargon or the Wall Street theater. Each episode digs into the money decisions that move the needle: how to build real wealth, how to sell a business for more and keep more of it when you exit, and how to turn retirement into a choice instead of a someday. I mix in straight-talking perspective on the markets and the economy for long-term investors, always aimed at what it means for your money, never a hot stock tip. No hype, no manufactured drama. As I tell my clients, the money gets made by staying steady and making good decisions you can live with for years. If that's how you think, you're in the right place. Education, not investment advice. Formerly the Freedom Nation Podcast more

Is my child learning enough? When should I step in—and when should I trust? Why do we keep ending up in power struggles when connection is what I want? Can I really raise and learn alongside my child differently when everything around us says I'm doing it wrong? These are the kinds of questions we explore on Radical Learning Talks. Hosted by Sari González and Rebecka Koritz, the podcast looks at what becomes possible when we question what we've been taught about children, learning, parenting, education, and power. Across more than 100 episodes, we talk about homeschooling and unschooling, self-directed learning, deschooling, consent, relationships, adultism, youth agency, and the messy reality of creating a different life with young people. Some conversations begin with the everyday moments happening in your home — screens, conflict, learning fears, boundaries, and knowing when to intervene. Others take us into bigger questions about school, freedom, community, power, and the world young people are growing into. We don't offer one right way to do any of this. We question what we've inherited, look more closely at what's actually happening, and explore choices rooted in dignity, trust, consent, and relationship. Sari and Becka are educators, parents, and longtime voices in the self-directed education movement, with decades of experience in unschooling, alternative education, and supporting families who are learning and living differently. Radical Learning Talks was named the #2 Democratic Education Podcast to Listen to in 2026 by FeedSpot, alongside leading voices in alternative and democratic education. New conversations are released throughout the year. more

The podcast making you invulnerable to the coercion of the State and the servile society.

We all deserve a life of joy and fulfillment, but for many of us that joy feels elusive. We've checked off all the boxes and done all the the things that the blueprint of life says should make us happy, and yet - no joy. Turns out, being happy isn't about following society's blueprint, but about creating our own blueprint for what we want out of our lives and taking action to make that happen. For us to embrace that opportunity, we first have to let go of other people prescriptions for our life choices, and build trust in our own inner compasses. That journey was hard and long for me, but it doesn't have to be. Join me as we explore and build an exciting future based on what YOU want, and how YOU feel inside, unlock a life of joy and fulfillment, and release yourself of the guilt of not enough.  more
