046 - Daniel Prince: Choosing a Parallel Life, Self-Directed Education & Bitcoin

Timothy Allen talks with Daniel Prince. Todays guest on the show is the long time Bitcoiner and friend of the Free Cities Foundation Daniel Prince. Daniel is the host of the Once Bitten Podcast which is one of the biggest and best known in the Bitcoin space. He is also going to be the MC at our Free Cities conference this year so I thought it would be a good idea to drop an episode in which I got to pick his brains for a couple of hours before you all get to meet him in person in Prague next week. In this episode we dive down a number of rabbit holes, but most notably we discuss the education system, vitamins, niacin, homeschooling, unschooling, nutrition and since we are both family men, there’s also a fair bit of banter on the subject of bringing up well adjusted kids and travelling with your family. Enjoy the episode.
