*You might notice a little scratchiness in my audio this time, thank you for listening through it anyway. I deeply appreciate your patience and presence here. In this episode, we have Ben Somers, founder of Recess, joining us to discuss his revolutionary virtual community platform for homeschoolers. Recess offers a unique approach to education, emphasizing children's autonomy, play, and social engagement while helping them develop critical skills. Ben shares insights into the shifting paradigms in education, the importance of intrinsic motivation, and how Recess supports personalized and engaging learning experiences. We delve into the potential of integrating digital and in-person learning, the role of parents, and envision a future where traditional schooling is replaced by something far more flexible, child-centered, and exciting. https://recess.gg/ Learn more about Joel: https://joelbein.com/ https://thehumanliberation.co/ https://thehumanliberation.co/guide
