Tom Arnold, a cybersecurity expert, is highlighting a critical gap in education: cybersafety for kids! We all know, that most schools fail to educate kids on the very important things, for example cyber security. With the latest discussions about all the perverts on Roblox, the question is really: is there a way to keep kids safe in the online environment, do we have to take away their independence and fun?

I explore this realm with Tom, who wrote a kid’s book on cybersecurity – „The Digital Detective: https://a.co/d/7ddvRfC“ - after his son was approached by a creep on Roblox. Tom is a lecturer at San Jose State and UNLV, co-founder of a company acquired by NCC Group, and Operations Manager at Cloud 10 Studios, and he shares his wisdom about how to empower kids to handle online threats. We talk about red flags, why it’s difficult to create a profile of the average predator online, and so much more.

Enjoy <3

In this loooong-anticipated episode of Wild Life Unschooling, I’m honored to welcome Leonardo Wild—an extraordinary adventurer, and alternative education enthusiast. Leonardo is the son of Mauricio and Rebecca Wild, pioneers who left Germany to create a soulful, learner-led educational community in Ecuador.

Leonardo has lived in five countries, traveled to over forty, and embraced adventure at every turn: from skippering a yacht through a Category 4 hurricane to crossing the Andes on foot alongside indigenous communities. He’s participated in gold exploration expeditions, led a four-month, 5000 km bike journey across South America with both children and adults, and written since the age of twelve, publishing eleven books (both fiction and nonfiction), over 200 magazine articles, and 42 scripts including documentaries and TV spots.

In this conversation, we dive deep into his fascinating journey of unschooling, adventure, creativity, and the transformative power of living a life led by curiosity and passion. Whether you’re an unschooling parent, an adventurous soul, or simply someone who wants to be inspired by a life less ordinary, this episode is for you :)

This tiiiiime, I have one of my favorite music artists on the pod! Music and unschooling? Oh, absolutely, check out why in this episode with Larimar! Larimar is a London-based complementary therapist who works with vocal harmonics and musical instruments to create powerful spaces for relaxation, healing, and personal transformation. This is all about the healing power of sound, and many other journeys. Check out Deya Dova's music, we mention her in the pod!

Enjoy this conversation, because I certainly did – with the wonderful Monika Burra! Monika is a transformational psychotherapist and intuitive coach who integrates science and spirituality to support holistic healing of the mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from diverse therapeutic modalities and spiritual teachings, she empowers clients to awaken their inner power and create fulfilling, authentic lives. And this episode is about soul-led education <3

Pat Farenga is the third time on my show, and I plan to invite him a lot of times more ;) This is what this episode is all about: MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF MUM & DAD! Check out the newsletter that lead to this conversation ⁠here⁠!

Summer returns to the show for another unschooling conversation! In this episode, we dive deep into how freeing yourself from societal expectations creates the perfect foundation for unschooling your children. It's all about reconnecting with you intuitive wisdom! :)

Reach out to me! Tell me if you’d like to be on the show, if you have a specific guest or topic in mind, share it with me!

Part 2 with Summer - this time we explore the beautiful simplicity of unschooling as just living life fully present with our children and how spiritual awareness enhances our family’s unschooling experience. This episode will inspire you to trust yourself and the natural learning process. Hopefully ;)

You asked for her return, and here she is! Summer joins us again to discuss how our divine connection guides our unschooling path. We challenge the notion that we need experts to raise our kids when the wisdom has always been within us. This conversation will remind you that you already possess everything you need to support your children’s natural development :)

Sam’s one of those people who just makes you feel calmer, more connected, more real. He started as a musician in Scandinavia, became Head of Music in like… four countries, and now works as a multidimensional coach, field worker, and energy architect — helping people and communities move through deep transformation and come back into alignment with who they really are.

We discussed multidimensional education as a framework for future-ready learning, the evolving landscape of alternative schooling, and our collaborative venture: Jedi Academy — a prototype for conscious, aligned education. You’ll feel this one.

In this episode, Tali Lindberg, a true rockstar in the Bitcoin space and founder of Orange Hatter Sisterhood, is back for her third appearance on the podcast. With over 20 years of homeschooling experience, Tali is a wonderful source of inspiration - this episode is all about energy, heroic moments of each day, and love.

Not gonna brag, but a little — Daniel Prince is on my show for the second time, and I'm really happy to present you some insights from a Bitcoiner, unschooler, author, podcaster, and in general incredible human being! This episode is all about what the world is going through, how his 4 unschooled kids are up to, and how humanity is (hopefully) healing. Enjoy <3

A story about a kid that got the raw deal, or how we say in German: he pulled the ass card. AND SO SORRY FOR THE WIND IN THE BACKGROUND!

We've all been conditioned to see time as a race, a resource we’re constantly running out of. But what if that’s a lie? In this episode, I dive into how school programs us to live by the clock, disconnects us from our natural rhythms, and keeps us in a cycle of stress and scarcity. I share my own journey of unlearning this mindset, breaking free from productivity guilt, and finally living in flow. Plus, thoughts on unschooling, meditation, and how my kid naturally learned English without formal lessons :)

Forget the factory whistle, let’s reclaim our time - and don't forget to join me at Freeth'm! ;)

So, this time I had two guests, a really special episode! My guests are Muhammad Saad Masood and his 9-year-old son Aarfeen. Tune in, we talk about how the transition from schooling to deschooling, homeschooling, and unschooling looks like for Muhammad and Aarfeen, what a typical day for the Pakistani family in Malaysia looks like, and we talk about the Qur’an! I hope you enjoy this episode, and if you want to follow up on the family’s journey, check out their website: https://projectunschooling.com/

Meet Sama, a transformative thinker who began breaking free from the matrix in 1999, embarking on a journey to transcend left-brain identification and embrace sovereignty across physical, spiritual, and digital realms - love it!

Sama is the anonymous founder of the Bitcoin Consciousness Community, podcast host, coach, and so much more. It's all about finding our true selves, our soul paths, and elevate consciousness through working on old programming (deschooling!)

So, enjoy this episode, it's all about manifestation, and love.

Sylvia is the founder of "A Place to Be", a decentralized unschooling neighborhood for fiat-proof families, and already the second time on my show. Check out our first episode to learn, how her unschooling project on Madeira started, because in this episode we will be talking about the project's progress, motherly intuition, play = learning, and doggy care.

I'm getting more and more nervous about unschooling at the place we live, as the governmental regulations are tightening and repression is getting worse. And I thought I'm alone, turns out, I'm not!

Pat Farenga is already the second time on my podcast, and this is for a reason. Let's call him one of the most important free schooling advocates. Check out his work HERE!

⁠Keye Martin⁠, independent mathematician and ⁠writer⁠ - I stumbled upon his work on LinkedIn, and immediately thought, I need more of him: "I’m writing this for my students, some of which are probably wondering where the fuck I went. On Monday October 2, a little while before my first class, two people came to my office and said that I was being placed on administrative leave due to complaints that my manner of communication was “unprofessional”." What inspired me, is the fact, that someone so fcking intelligent is being called "unprofessional" - because I have been there, I'm the "unprofessional" one, and I really wanted to talk to another "unprofessional" ;)

And this is how it started, just fyi, as Keye mentions this conversation at the end of the podcast:

Alex Ko 12:53 PM

Hey Keye, Alex here regarding the unschooling podcast :)

Keye Martin 12:35 AM

Cool. Questions about your podcast:
1) Is your podcast an absolute free speech zone?
2) Do you stream video or only audio?
3) Do you edit episodes before posting them?
4) Is it possible to describe what "unschooling" is in a few simple sentences?
5) Can you send me a link to an episode of yours that you think is "representative" i.e. it doesn't have to be the "best" or the "worst" but just something that conveys the vibe.

Alex Ko 9:31 AM

1. yes

2. however you like, I'm flexible

3. yes, but only cleaning the audio quality, not editing content

4. yes: Unschooling is an educational philosophy that allows children to direct their own learning through their interests, rather than following a fixed curriculum. It is all about child-led learning, let the kids follow their own interests and passions, and set them completely free. Unschooling relies on the belief that learning occurs naturally through everyday experiences and interactions, and is based on trust in the abilities of your kids to learn what they need to learn, in a very flexible approach with you as their coach aka. parents.

5. my favorite episode, great guest, honest vibe: https://fountain.fm/episode/W4FZJWlZOA8r8KotlQEf

In this episode, I sit down with Denys Troyak, a visionary behind Satoshi Island, a decentralized utopia in Vanuatu.

This time, it’s all about personal growth, community building, and emotional well-being, exploring how Satoshi Island aims to create a sustainable and regenerative community focused on planetary health, financial well-being, and personal fulfillment.

And as Denys explains: we need to change the world, and we need to start with us. So, for me, Satoshi Island is one of the pioneering projects that show us today, how freedom maxis might live tomorrow.

We discuss the importance of slowing down, connecting with nature, and finding happiness within, rather than through material or societal pressures. Denys shares his personal transformation through a simpler life in Vanuatu and how it has deepened his understanding of community and well-being.

"Why don't we smile more? Why don't we hug more? Well, it's, you know, it's, it's because we're disconnected." – Denys

And of course, we also touch base on the unschooling part – traditional education is "one fits all" approach, that doesn’t fit at all. As unschooling is not so much about our kids, but about ourselves, this episode is about self-observation, humor, and love, to make us the best coaches for our free ranged, wild kids <3

This time on Wild Life Unschooling, I had a really nice conversation with Rahim Taghizadegan. Rahim is a powerhouse in Austrian economics, a philosopher, and the mastermind behind the Scholarium in Vienna.

One of many inspiring projects, that Rahim is pushing forward, is his groundbreaking project that helps Bitcoin families live across different countries to bypass the traditional state schooling system.

From his journey through Austrian economics to his bold ideas on Free Private Cities and the role of Bitcoin, this episode is packed with insights on flexible living and innovative thinking.

If you’re passionate about breaking stereotypes and embracing a decentralized lifestyle, this one is for you ;)

In this episode, I sit down with Lea, podcast host of The Conversation Junkie, for an open, raw conversation about everything from mental health and ADHD to breaking free from societal norms. We dive deep into Lea's personal journey with depression, exploring how he transformed his mindset and found his way to personal growth without relying on medication.

What we both agree on, is the magic of… ice baths, that ADHD is a superpower, and how breaking the mold of societal expectations can actually save your mental health.

We also get into some heavier topics, like the current cultural clashes in Great Britain and how media sensationalism stokes the flames of division. Lea's message is clear: we’re being manipulated to fight each other instead of uniting as humans.

And, just because we did not cover enough topics yet ;) we're going a little cosmic, we dive into the theory of the Anunnaki. 👽

From exploring untapped human potential and unlocking hidden knowledge, to rethinking traditional gender roles and the need for strong role models. Let's challenge the norm, question everything, and dig deep into the wild ride that is the human experience.

This talk, is all about consciousness! So, grab a tea, and enjoy the universe of Caleb from the Bitcoin Consciousness Community!

„Decentralized Consciousness represents a world where each individual trusts in his or her highest self (the “node”) along with the flow of the universe (the “creation network”) to live, create, and flourish – completely on their own terms. We are a community of like-spirited people working to connect with our inner nodes, practicing first principles of decentralization and informing the spiritual communities about Bitcoin.“

Caleb and I already recorded an episode for his pod, and I enjoyed our conversation so much, that I wanted to have Caleb on my podcast as well!

In this episode, I chat with Caleb about the fascinating intersection of Bitcoin, science, and spirituality. We explore how Bitcoin, a digital creation, connects with spiritual concepts and emotions, transforming energy into something valuable and raising our vibrational state. Caleb introduces the idea of "energetic pendulums," suggesting Bitcoin could represent a higher vibrational force that enhances positive emotions and connections.

Of course you can find Caleb on Nostr as well :)

From sex-cult leaders to om shanti bitches, from indigenous people to the beauty of nature… Why experiences are so important <3 SORRY FOR THE WIND IN THE BACKGROUNDDDD

When we talk about unschooling, we also have to talk about the unschooling lifestyle. Because it’s quite clear, that for a lot of families, it’s difficult to integrate the unschooling lifestyle in society’s norms. Therefore, we’re shaping the society of the future through our own lifestyle – that means, we are discovering new ground all the time.

This is why, I sat down with Tobias Eugene, who is a freedom maxi, Bitcoiner, and working on realizing his dream of a Citadel, where a holistic and conscious lifestyle is possible. Let's see, what kind of future we are creating! <3

In this episode of the Wild Life Unschooling Podcast, I sit down with Tony from The Bitcoin Way to talk about the crumbling structures of our world and the rise of self-sovereignty. We explore how outdated systems are failing and why it's crucial to step out of the mess and build something new.

Tony’s take is clear: the EU and other big institutions are on their last legs. He’s passionate about equipping ourselves and our kids with the knowledge to navigate a world that's falling apart, not by clinging to old systems, but by creating self-sufficient, independent lives.

This isn’t just about observing the chaos; it’s about actively choosing to live differently and build resilient communities. Listen in for a raw, real discussion on escaping the clutches of a dying system and embracing true freedom.

Hey there, everyone! Get ready for an enlightening episode where we dive into "self-custody parenting" with the incredible Tali and Scott Lindberg! Tali, who spent two decades navigating the beautiful chaos of homeschooling her four kids, has now plunged into the world of Bitcoin with her husband, Scott. Scott, a West Point grad and Yale MBA holder, is a freedom-loving entrepreneur. Together, they co-founded Free Market Kids with a mission to empower the next generation with the knowledge and tools for freedom.

In this episode, Tali and Scott share their unique insights on taking charge of your kids' education, combining homeschooling wisdom with the revolutionary world of Bitcoin. It's a journey of creativity, learning, and freedom!

Enjoy some of their work! The Bitcoin Homeschoolers Podcast, Free Market Kids, and The Orange Hatter Podcast!

In this episode, I'm the guest - at the Decentralized Consciousness Podcast hosted by Caleb.

And this is what it's all about! "In this episode of the Decentralized Consciousness podcast, we explore the transformative power of unschooling and self-discovery with Alex, host of "Wildlife: The Unschooling Podcast." Alex shares her journey from starting a podcast in the "Blockchain" space to pivoting to her current focus on unschooling and deschooling, emphasizing the importance of intuition and following one's heart in life. Caleb and Alex delve into the nuances between unschooling and homeschooling, highlighting how unschooling provides a natural, child-led approach to learning. Alex discusses the profound impact of unschooling not just on children but also on parents, urging them to embrace the journey of self-deschooling to better support their children. Throughout the conversation, Alex and Caleb address the challenges of breaking free from societal norms and the fear of stepping outside conventional education systems. They share personal experiences and insights on creating a supportive community and redefining success and happiness beyond institutional expectations. Join us for a deep dive into how unschooling fosters a more connected, holistic way of living and learning, and why it might be the key to a more fulfilling and authentic life for both parents and children. Whether you're curious about alternative education or seeking inspiration for personal growth, this episode offers valuable perspectives on embracing a less traveled path."

Stay tuned - Caleb is going to record an episode with me for Wild Life Unschooling soon!

Peter's insights were mind-blowing, offering fresh perspectives on governance and community that challenge the status quo! ❤️

I had an absolute blast diving into homeschooling and unschooling with Stephan Livera on the Wild Life Unschooling Podcast. Stephan is a rockstar podcaster in the Bitcoin world, famous for his sharp interviews and deep dives into all things Bitcoin. On his podcast, he brings in top experts and influential voices, making complex Bitcoin topics super accessible and engaging.

Stephan's knowledge and unique perspective made our chat incredibly fun and thought-provoking.

It was an amazing discussion about the transformative power of decentralized learning! ❤️

At the Bitcoin Atlantis Conference in Madeira, I met a fantastic Bitcoiner - Rick, who has a little kid and is now diving deep into the world of decentralized education. We had an awesome talk at the conference about how decentralized education aligns with the principles of unschooling and Bitcoin. Rick's enthusiasm and insights were truly inspiring, and we both felt that sharing our conversation with other unschoolers could ignite some incredible ideas and transformations in the education world. So here we go! ❤️

Seb Bunney is a legendary figure in the Bitcoin world, known for his fearless advocacy and groundbreaking writings. A self-made expert, he combines deep technical knowledge with a visionary perspective on how Bitcoin can revolutionize global finance. Seb's articles are a must-read for anyone interested in the future of money, as he eloquently dismantles traditional financial paradigms and champions the decentralized revolution.

I had an awesome time speaking to Seb Bunney on an episode of the Wild Life Unschooling Podcast! We dove into some really fascinating topics, exploring the intersection of money and spiritualism. Seb shared his unique insights on how Bitcoin and decentralized finance resonate with spiritual principles, emphasizing autonomy and the quest for deeper meaning in our financial lives.

Get ready for a deep talk with lots of oversharing, love, and hope! ❤️

Derek Olson, a wonderful ancient history researcher, who is digging deep into humanity’s history, reveiling the true history that looks very different from the official version that is taught in schools.

What does this have to do with unschooling you may ask yourself. This kind of knowledge we should teach our kids, instead of the propagandized version that is being taught in school. And I hope that Derek gives you lots of interesting points to deep dive much further into humanity’s history, together with your kids.

There is still a lot to discover.

And, as you know me now already a bit, you know that I’m all in when it comes to search for the truth and to the question „wtf are we doing on this planet“. Not only as a collective, but also as individuals. For me, looking into humanity’s history, is one part of falling into this rabbit hole.

The best part: You can go on real life research adventures with Derek. Isn't this the best type of education?!

Life is beautiful? Yes, because we're the masters of our future. In this episode, I'm talking to Filip Karađorđević, Hereditary Prince of Yugoslavia and Serbia, who is a known Bitcoin supporter and - of course - a supporter of free thinking, libertarian, decentralized, … education.

Of course we're talking a bit a bout Bitcoin, but mainly about the characteristics of good money, a bit about war, inflation, hyperinflation, hyperbitcoinization ;)

But in this episode Filip is also talking about the fundamentals of decentralized education and is spreading some of his wisdom regarding libertarian lifestyle.

Here you can find more about Filip in his role as CSO at JAN3, where he is working on fueling the hyperbitcoinization.

So, here we go, Travel Diary part 2! This is all about saying Goodbye to your friends, to your home, to the wild nature you love, and 5G-towers. Enjoy this one, reach out to me, and join me for an episode!

Ricardo Leppe, founder of WISSEN SCHAFFT FREIHEIT (knowledge creates freedom), is now the second time on the show. Why? Because he is doing an incredible job in creating a new educational system all around the world.

In this episode, it's all about how we can support our kids while they're creating the new world, our future.

Enjoy <3

You already learned a lot about Bitcoin on this pod, now it’s time to climb up a layer and talk about the Lightning Network.

This episode is about #Bitcoin, focus on #Lightning, and "working on your own dreams". What does this have to do with unschooling? Everything. Because with a shitty monetary system, we don't have the time to work on our dreams, because we're too busy surviving everyday life.

Ivan Makedonski from Breez has all the answers to your Lightning questions – and probably also the final answer to why self-sovereign parents like you, need Lightning as a fast, secure and cheap payment solution, that is based on Bitcoin.

If you want to dive a bit deeper into the world of Lighting, here are some resources:

- Amboss Lightning Analytics

- Articles by Ivan for the Bitcoin Magazine

Enjoy! <3

Like many parents, I've had moments of wondering if I'm failing my kid. I went through that same process when I began questioning the traditional school system. Initially, I worried about how school might fail my child, but then I started to consider if not following the traditional route of education would lead to failure on my part.

Taking the full responsibility for your kids' education can be scary, absolutely. But the more I let go and reflect on our fears, the more I realized - hey, nothing to be afraid of, the biggest thread to my kid is already out the way: traditional schooling.

In this episode, I'm talking to the founder of The Hub, Luba Vangelova, about the depths of this fear of failing our kids, and how to escape that fearful cycle and head into a future full of trust. Luba is an unschooling mum herself, she shares a lot about her perspective on unschooling, and of course she introduces us to The Hub, a unique learning-cohort programs for unschooled/homeschooled tweens and teens!

Enjoy!

Our kids are spiritually, mentally and physically adventurer by nature - how can we support them? In this wonderful conversation with father and Bitcoiner Badders, it's all about escaping the boxes, the yearning for the wilderness, and humility. Badders explains, how Bitcoin brought him back to nature, and how unschooling looks like in the middle of the French forest for his family. A lot of truth bombs, a lot of soul-sharing!

You remember when I said "please, invite yourself to my pod, I'd love to hear from you" - and here we go! Alex followed that invitation and showed up to record an episode with me.

Alex and I share a story, he was my boss back then when I started to work as a crypto journalist at BeInCrypto (later on I took his place haha, but because Alex had way cooler adventures ahead of him). And Alex basically introduced my to the world of financial privacy, and privacy coins like Monero, as well as the whole idea behind the Cypherpunk movement.

And here are all the links to what Alex mentioned in our talk, I probably forgot one or two, feel free to ask me, I'll try to deliver ;)

• First of all: AlexAnarcho's Podcast
• Austrian Economics, what is that?!
• Ayn Rand
• Privacy Coin Monero
• The interesting side of the money system: dark.fi

There is no better combination than decentralized education and decentralized money, right? So here is a little episode about our trip to the Bitcoin Atlantis Madeira conference, where I was able to speak about the universe of unschooling ❤️

And here is a short video about it ;)

In this episode I'm the guest - at Bitcoin Kebab with Kata Stier! Kata has lots of awesome questions about the unschooling lifestyle.

Here is the link to the original: https://podcasts.apple.com/cr/podcast/its-mother-earth-not-mother-state/id1573387149?i=1000646905020

In this episode I'm little Morty learning from Rick from The Bitcoin Way a lot about self custody, Bitcoin mixing, KYC-free BTCs, and so much more.

What does that have to do with unschooling?

I tell you what Bitcoin has to do with unschooling. One is decentralized money, the other is decentralized education. And after this episode you will see the many, many, many parallels between Bitcoin and unschooling. And you'll probably want to get yourself some Sats (Bitcoin) from BISQ or a local Bitcoin ATM. Self-sovreign all the way!

There are millions of reasons to unschool, homeschool and worldschool - but in this episode I want to share my top whatever reasons why we as a family decided to skip that compulsory schooling experience.

I hope you enjoy this episode, let me know! And - let me know why you chose to unschool!

And this time an awesome episode of an unschooling journey in Sri Lanka! Nelum might be the first radical unschooling mum in Sri Lanka, and is sharing her journey with us - from why and when she started free education and how that changed her whole lifestyle, relationships and self.

I really enjoyed talking to Nelum - I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. My favorite moment? When Nelum explains, that you don't HAVE to answer all these people's questions about your life, and how much unschooling changes every detail of… well, everything? :)

Check out Nelum's work here, it's absolutely amazing what this mum of 4 is pulling off!

This sentence is haunting me, "I wAnT mY kIdS tO hAvE iT bEtTeR". Then do better NOW. An episode about how we all should be way more radical in setting our kids free <3

So, welcome to my first solo episode, it only took me 1 year to get to that point to speak to you just you and me ;)

Anyway, I'll try to drop these short solo episodes from time to time with unschooling and deschooling insights from our life - let me know if that is something you want to hear about more often!

And please, give me feedback, let me know if you want to join me on an episode, and tell me what specific topics I should cover <3

Lots of love,

Alex

Books I mentioned in the episode:

• The Kangaroo Chronicles by Marc Uwe Kling
• The Teenage Liberation Handbook by Grace Llewellyn
• How Children Learn by John Holt
• Lucid Dreaming Made Easy by Charlie Morley

In this episode, I'm speaking to Peggy Webb, Founder and Director of West River Academy.

West River Academy, founded in 1993, offers families worldwide the freedom to make their own educational decisions, allowing children to explore their innate life purposes and passions. The school converts natural learning experiences into academic credit, providing annual enrollment, official transcripts, and high school graduation, creating a supportive environment for students to thrive outside traditional educational constraints.

Peggy is mum (and grandma!) of 3 unschooled kids and shares a lot of insights about her unschooling and deschooling journey - enjoy <3

If you're into unschooling, sooner or later you'll stumble upon Pat Farenga. In case you haven't - Pat is an American writer and educational activist, you should check out his talk "Why forced education kills learning".

Pat leads us through the wonderful world of unschooling, shares a lot of stories about his friend and unschooling advocate John Holt - and introduces me to the "open-door-policy". Hope you enjoy this episode as I enjoyed the conversation with Pat!

And, by the way, this is my 30th episode, thank you so much for being part of this :)

In this episode, I'm talking to Summer Jean! She was unschooled and is sharing her perspective on unschooling with us.

What's really interesting—and this is also my conclusion from the last ten years—is that unschooling is not something you simply do or don't do in terms of education. It's more about the way you see life.

For everyone listening, reach out to me! Tell me if you'd like to be on the show or if you have a specific guest or topic in mind. Share it with me! 😉
