Hi Brett,
Glad Tom had you on his show. I emailed him multiple times to help get you on. I think it went well.

Thanks Steve! I appreciate the effort.
It is about time you were on!
Hey Brett,
I’d like to recommend to your listeners who might have qualms about a “hands off but ready when you need me” type of home based education a great book which helped alleviate a lot of my own fears when withdrawing my children from public school. It’s by Peter Gray, a bio-psychology professor and the title is “Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life.” It demonstrates the flaws in the way our society views education and emphasizes that true learning comes when an individual is allowed the freedom to navigate their own path. Thanks!
