Most children aren’t struggling because they lack intelligence. They’re struggling because they’re trapped inside a system that was never designed to develop their genius.

In this powerful conversation, Kellan sits down with Houlie Duquet, founder of Homeschool To Go, to unpack why traditional education is failing so many families — and what personalized, purpose-driven learning could look like instead.

From entrepreneurship and emotional intelligence to homeschooling, bilingual education, AI, and the future of learning, this episode challenges everything we’ve been taught about success, intelligence, and what children actually need to thrive.

Houlie shares how her frustration as a teacher inside elite institutions led her to build a completely new model of education — one centered around family, individuality, creativity, and personal development.

This isn’t just a conversation about school.

It’s a conversation about the future of humanity.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why one-size-fits-all education fails children
  • The connection between entrepreneurship and personal development
  • How parents shape exceptional students

Subscribe, share, create. You have infinite power. Hello, and welcome to this episode of youf Ultimate Life, the podcast that I created. Yeah.Six years ago now to help you have a life of purpose, prosperity and joy by serving with your life experience, your gifts and the whole of your heart. I got a special guest today that is coming to me from all the way across Canada. I'm in Edmonton, she's in New Brunswick. And Huli Duquet.Huli, welcome to the show.

Houlie Duquet

Thank you so much for having me. What a pleasure it is to be here.

Kellan Fluckiger

Yeah, you're just absolutely welcome. And we got a chance to visit for a minute before we started and I'm going to not introduce you because I don't.But everything that you do will come out as we chat during the show. So I'll ask you a question. What? And I want you not to be modest. This is not a time for modesty. So tell me what hooley does to add good to the world.

Houlie Duquet

Well, I'm right now leading an organization called Homeschool To Go. And so we support hundreds of parents in providing their children higher quality of education.Education that fits their needs and that develops their areas of genius.And so beyond supporting the students, we support the parents as well in creating a rhythm so that it's a joyful experience for them to keep family at the center of their education.

Kellan Fluckiger

So you said a whole bunch of things in there that I want to take apart. You said family at the center of education.You said creating a joyful experience instead of a drag like we had a 2022 right after the Russia attacked Ukraine. My wife's maiden name is Bondarenko and so she's Ukrainian. Her dad was born in Odessa.So we ended up having a mother and daughter who were refugees come in June that year and they stayed with us for three and a half years and they just moved out about five or six months ago on their own. And. Yeah, you know, and, and so you have chosen to have family at the center. You've chosen to have the school enjoyable.And the reason I mentioned our refugees is because the little 11 year old, she was 7 when she came. 8, 9, 10. So she went to the local school and she didn't. She was bored. It wasn't interesting enough.And she's as smart as a whip and she's a Fabulous artist, et cetera, et cetera. And so she certainly could have used the kind of attention. The first question I had about it is how hard is it to make something custom for people?Like, every kid's different. So talk a little bit about that.

Houlie Duquet

I mean, I think it. I think it would be. I think it would be something that probably resonates with some of the conversations that you have.But as far as the difficulty of creating it, I don't really find it difficult because I love doing it. This is like, I get joy out of seeing students show through their work, their passion, or through their schooling, their passion.And so I do agree that one size fits all education system is not really there to serve the students. I think it's more there to serve the system, to be able to manage all these children at the same time. We can get into why it is that way later on.But as far as creating the programs and how we do it, the first thing we do before we design the curriculums for the students is we talk to the family. We find out how many hours in the week they have to invest in the education of their children, like to sit down with them and work on the project.So we figure that out.We require a minimum of two hours for children that are in elementary, two hours a week, and a minimum of five hours for middle school and high school. So once we understand how much time they want to be spending on the actual schooling, that means the work that happens outside of daily life.Because there's a lot of learning that happens in life just from living it. We find out what are the predominant intelligences in the student.So we do a psychological assessment for this that tells us where their different types of intelligence are more developed than others.How they would do it in the school is they have one curriculum and all the children have to satisfy or check a list of milestones for each specific subject. How we do it. So if a student is behind in math, they then have to do more math.And if they're ahead in English, they don't do any more English because they're already at the same time standard. For me, that's a way to waste the potential of a student. So we do it the other way around.We identify the genius area so that we can help them develop those gifts even further.That will help them develop a sense of purpose and help them develop like they will become outstanding at a specific discipline and they would be able to turn that into value to offer to the world. So when the students are behind in a specific subject or a specific milestone.Instead of making them do more of that, we find ways to be able to teach them those fundamental concepts, like, you know, basic arithmetic. You have to learn in order to navigate the world.So if a student is not particularly talented in there, in that, in that and that milestone, we help the parents adjust the learning through different mediums so that they can get to the point where they need to be.But we focus entirely on what they are really good at ahead of everybody else, where their talents are, and then we help them excel in those specific talents. So the grades are something that we use to help guide the parents and the students.You know, like, sometimes students want to go to college or university, so they will have transcripts and they will have completed grades.But for us, it doesn't really mean much because we have students that are in third grade doing stuff that is fifth grade, and we have students in eighth grade doing 12th grade stuff.And most of our students, by the time they get to sophomore year, they've already completed all of the milestones of high school, so they can spend two years before they go to college or whatever it is that they do, learning about entrepreneurship, about financial literacy, about, you know, mathematics applied to stocks, things that are useful for. For real life and that they're passionate about. And so, yeah, that's what we do, essentially. That's how we customize it.

Kellan Fluckiger

I love that. And you know what mo is most exciting for me?Your description of the process of focusing on strengths while mitigating areas of weakness, but doing it with real life lear so that it's not onerous and developing high levels of skill in areas of. Of genius. I love the description and everything you do.But the thing that was most exciting for me was to look at the energy of your face and your excitement. As you described this whole thing, it's clear to me that this is, like, really near to your heart. So how did that happen?What happened to Hooli that made this so important to you?

Houlie Duquet

I think the moment where I had the epiphany that I wanted to do this was when I was a teacher for 10 years, and I was a teacher at institute. Different institutions like Cambridge, like Waldorf, like Montessori. These are very respected models around the world.And, you know, parents pay around $25,000 plus to send their kids here, so they're supposed to be giving your children an advantage by sending them into these institutions. And I was a teacher there. I was very passionate about education. I really love my job, But I had a really hard time.Well, I Enjoyed it for the first little bit, but it became very frustrating towards the end, towards, you know, once I got into it for long enough to realize that I wasn't going to be able through that system to really take each student to their highest potential.Because I think once again, the standardized one size fits all doesn't really serve the student in particular, I think in these institutions, they use methodologies that were more evolved than what you would find in a public education system. Like they use project based education, which is really cool because instead of splitting things by subject, they're more life applicable.Like you have a problem, a driving question, and you use that to learn multiple different subjects and get to an outcome which attaches the learning to a purpose.But I found I felt constantly frustrated because I didn't have the time or the energy to offer each student in my classroom what I knew they needed to get to that full potential.And I also noticed that the common denominator for the students that were always outstanding was not whether they were smarter, whether they had like, more money, like their families had more money. It was always whether their parents cared about their education and were involved in their life.So the outstanding students always had really supporting families behind them.And for me, it became clear in that moment that when I became a parent, I would be homeschooling my child because I could offer them this education that way. So, yeah, I ended up becoming a mother five and a half years ago. And that's when I decided that I was going to.I started looking for programs that would check off, like, that would fulfill my standards, like what I wanted as a, you know, what I considered high quality education. And I didn't find anything that fulfilled all that.One of the things being English and Spanish, like I was born, raised in Colombia, living in Canada. I wanted to raise a child. I was bilingual because being bilingual opened so many doors for me and I didn't want my son to not have that skill.And it's so crazy. There isn't a single program out there other than ours that is fully bilingual that they will teach you all the subjects in both languages.And so that was the first one. And then there was not a lot of programs that were project based, which for me was a requirement.And then that on top of teaching, like the main academic subjects they would be teaching, like emotional development, growth, mindset, entrepreneurship, like all these skills that I consider so important. So I started creating it myself.And as I did, I started to find so many people that needed that same thing and that we're trying to put pieces together at home. But we're so stressed because not everybody can do that if you don't have a teacher background. So this is how my, my organization started to grow.Because just from having conversations and seeing how there was a need for what I was creating, it lit the fire in me to, to, you know, put all my efforts into making sure that we can get this in front of the eyes of as many people as possible that could, you know, find value in it.

Kellan Fluckiger

Yeah, you know, fabulous. And again, so you are developing something because you couldn't find it. So you had a kid and you said, I need these things to have education.And obviously, since I've been in the, not the public school, but the special version of public school, like you mentioned those other things, other kinds of schooling, but still not enough to get the most out of each student, which was important. And then you went on and said, fine, I'll build my own. And that's great. Where did you get the education?Like, if you're creating something that doesn't exist right now, what taught you about entrepreneurship and project based things and emotional intelligence? And how did you get that yourself since it didn't exist until you built it?

Houlie Duquet

Yeah, well, I think the project based education was something that I learned during my training as a teacher for Cambridge schools.So that was like that specific methodology in Montessori, in Waldorf, like the emotional development aspects, the, for example, Waldorf education, they apply this concept of the student personality. So there's the yellow personality, which is the penguin. There's the red personality, the blue and the green.And so it's so effective when you know what type of personality a child is.It's very easy to identify once you know the description for each one of them and the strategies that you can use to approach your students in a way that it really speaks to them. So I took aspects from different models of education that I had experience with and I put them together.As far as the entrepreneurship has been a combination of what I have learned from, from running a business, I would say the most part of the, the biggest part of the learning comes from the experience itself.But I also took a lot of training like I did business accelerators as I was, as I was developing my business and I partnered with other people, with other teachers that had that specialized in those specific areas.So right now on our team, we have somewhere around like between six and eight teachers that two of them are part time, but the rest of them work with us full time.And what they do is they check in with the students to make sure or with the parents to make sure they don't have any questions, there's any resources that we want to adapt in a different way. And so all these teachers on our team, they have different expertise.So I match them up with the families that have specialized, specific passions for topics. Like, I'm not very versed in the world of stocks, for example, but I have students that are learning that. So I pair them up with the teachers.Like, one of my teachers, he has a. A master's in technology entrepreneurship or something like this. It's like a business master's in technology management is what it is.And so he understands statistics and understands technology and coding and all these topics really well. So I match them up with the profiles that. That fulfill that profile. Anyway. So, yeah, so that's. That's how I did it.You know, like, a lot of it, A lot of it was on the go, but also from having conversations like, I care a lot about what I do. And so for me, was very important that I wasn't just another homeschool program that I family purchased.I want it to be the reason why they kept doing it until the end and the reason why they believed in their child to become who, you know, whatever they become. So I had. I developed a very short, very close relationships with every single one of the families in my program.And I asked them, and they started telling me, what are the aspects that make my service so valuable? And then an amplified those specific points that they were talking about. And the personalization was crucial.Like, a lot of them, like, being able to switch plans because they noticed that this wasn't working and, you know, all those things. So I think that a lot of the learning happened in the process of developing this project.

Kellan Fluckiger

You know, what's fun about your description, again, is the energy.But, you know, you talked in the beginning about customizing so that you maximize each student, and you've applied that exact principle to building your business. So you're finding the teachers that let you maximize this.You ask the parents which things work, which things are really valuable, which ones are like, yeah, not so much. And then you've amplified those and done that. So you're doing.What occurs to me as I listen to you talk about this is you're doing the very thing to your business that you do to the student to maximize their education. And so it's not a surprise to me that the parents find it so valuable because you're doing that.

Houlie Duquet

Well, you know what they say about entrepreneurship that is like The. The biggest personal development master than anybody can find.I. I was reading something about how, like, people talk about ayahuasca being life changing. And if you think that all these experiences are life changing, you should try entrepreneurship.Because I think when you're raising really shows you all the places in which your business will be deficient, in all the places where you are. So if you're not willing to work on yourself and develop yourself, your business will stay in the same place as well.

Kellan Fluckiger

You know, you're exactly right. And as a coach and business coach with clients, and I've been doing this. I mean, I had a career as an executive, whatever, but for the last.Excuse me, for the last 20 years, 18, 19 years, I've been a coach, and I notice exactly the same thing. People with business problems will come and they say, I need more clients, I need more this and that.And the fundamental issues that we always end up solving are the ones in here, like, who are you being. Who's showing up to work and with the people who's running the business. And when we fix that, the rest of the stuff is like, easy.

Houlie Duquet

Yeah, well, there's a. There's.When I first built this program, it was a project based, like, with flexible activities that they can be easily adapted to what parents wanted. And I remember, you know, at this point, I would have had like, somewhere between 30 and 40 students.And I remember talking to one of the parents and them telling me, like, oh, like my child just. She's just not engaged with the activities that you sent.And I feel like in that moment, like, you know, when you have your business so close to your heart and who you are, that can be. It can hurt the ego.

Kellan Fluckiger

Yeah, sure.

Houlie Duquet

From all the training that I had done, I knew that what I needed to do in that moment was ask more questions to understand what was the aspect that wasn't fulfilling the need. And as a result of doing that, I was able to evolve my product because I was no longer just giving a set curriculum that could be adapted.I was giving the curriculum adapted based on insights that I wasn't gathering at that point, like the multiple intelligences and like the rhythm of the parent. And yeah, it's so many different things, little elements that we have added since then.That comes from hearing one of my clients tell me something that I'm not doing right. And rather than letting that hurt my ego and like rejecting them, letting that expand me, you know, so. So I am grateful for all those opportunities.And I do think that raising a business goes hand in Hand with growing as a person. Like, you have to really, you know, be willing to listen.

Kellan Fluckiger

You know, you. I. I hope. I. I hope that you write the book of Hooli someday. Like, the. I'm serious. The. The book.Because what I see is the most important thing that any of us, you, me, or anybody else has to offer the world is really the story of our own becoming. Right. How do we. How did we get who we are and who I see right now as a dedicated, committed person and not letting ego get in the way.That is so, so much the problem, because as soon as someone feels attacked or offended or anything, they quit listening.And if you had felt like that, you would have quit listening to the people that were talking to you, or if we are talking to someone else and we make them feel marginalized or less than or whatever it is, you know, they quit listening, and then at that moment, everything stops.

Houlie Duquet

Yeah. I think there's been so many times in my business where I have felt that, you know, that fear of failure or that I'm not doing things well enough.And I think it's in those moments where you have to question yourself. And it's. It. It's those moments that have propelled me to the next, like, level of who I could be. So when.When I do approach, and in general in my life, not just with my business, I. I kind of hit a wall where I'm having difficulties or I feel challenged. I always say to myself, to help me through that process, it's like, this is the. This is the opportunity for change that you've been wanting.You know, you have to value and cherish those moments as well.

Kellan Fluckiger

I think I love it. The way I frame that question is, who do I have to be to take advantage of this situation?So the situation might seem like a barrier or a letdown or a failure or a setback. And instead of viewing it that way, I ask myself or clients, who do I have to be to take advantage of this instead of be hurt by it or push back?

Houlie Duquet

So, yeah, it's more of a quantum jump because you're like, instead of thinking from your perspective, you're, like, thinking from the perspective of who's already solved that problem, which is somebody who can take advantage of it.

Kellan Fluckiger

Yeah. Who do I have to be, you know, in terms of either thinking or understanding or growth or something?And when you go there, it puts the whole ego thing out of the question, because you can't be curious and offended at the same time.

Houlie Duquet

Yes, I agree.

Kellan Fluckiger

You know, I can't really be Curious and interested in finding something out and be mad. You know, I can't. I can't do those in the same moment. That's fantastic. So I, I love this and I really am serious.I hope, I hope you like, obviously you're offering a product, a personalized curriculum and home school to go. I love the name. I love not only the name, but the way you have created it. Are you.Have you written besides curriculum, which you're obviously a genius at, and you're very dedicated? Are you writing things? Are you writing books or manuals about this?

Houlie Duquet

I. My writing is limited to my journaling and the manuals that I write for my teachers and for the positions within my company of how I do things.I write it all down because, you know, as we grow, I'll be delegating more of it, but that's about it. Just writing within my own. But I haven't. I haven't really gotten into writing as an author like a book yet.However, I do hold a creative writing competition within my students because we have a lot of really good writers. So, yeah, I, I do encourage creative writers within.

Kellan Fluckiger

I, I couldn't feel more strongly.You have outlined the connection really well between entrepreneurship and personal development as you've described, that you can't grow your business beyond your personal. Your own level of personal development. You just can't. And you've articulated that and you've demonstrated it in your process. You.You would, I think both your. You personally, because it's fun to do, and your students and your curriculum would be really benefited by writing the book.I always call it the book of whoever I'm talking to. So the book of Hooly.But it is expressing those truths that you really can't develop something, a business or a friendship or love or anything else beyond the level of your own personal development. You can't do that. And that's what I'm hearing. You tell me.

Houlie Duquet

That's amazing. I think that. I think you've given me an idea because I feel like it would be really cool to have a project in our.In our program where the kids write a book about something that they're good at or something that some truth want to express to the world. So far, we.We do like the Journey Through My Eyes, which is like, we get the students to write a story of an experience they have had and they can choose to make it fiction, like add fictional aspects to it or not. And so I really like that idea. And maybe, who knows, maybe I'll end up being. Being you know, doing the project myself as well.And, and I'll send you an email if I, if I. Yeah, yeah.

Kellan Fluckiger

You've discovered something really, you're articulating something really important and you've articulated, it's explained it really well, and that is that you can't build your business beyond where you personally are developed. I mean, that's a fundamental principle. I agree with it. And that's why I see that in business clients all the time.I can't help them until we're, until they're able and willing to develop themselves beyond the level of limitation that their being is creating in the business. So you're, you've said that in different words, but whatever.

Houlie Duquet

So journaling more seriously now since you said that. And then maybe I'll use those notes to write a book after I get to the place where I want to be.

Kellan Fluckiger

Yeah. Cool. I think that's wonderful. So, so you said earlier you are, you are born and raised in Colombia, but you live in Canada.And everybody in the audience knows I'm in Canada also. Do you do any of this and, and you emphasized raising your kid bilingual, which I think is fabulous.Do you do any of this offering in your home country of Columbia or just.

Houlie Duquet

Absolutely. We have families all around the world. So we have families in Colombia, in Venezuela, in Argentina, in Uruguay. We just had a sign up in Peru, Panama.Then we have a lot of people in the U.S. most of our families are located in Florida.Because something beautiful is happening in Florida right now where the government is giving funds to the families to invest in the, in education at home and homeschooling. So it's amazing.I think there's, I was telling you earlier in our conversation, there's almost 2 million people in Florida that have access to that funding now. And they are testing the children at the end of the year so they can keep stats whether this was a good initiative from the government or not.And the results so far have been so good, they keep adding budget to the, to that specific funding. So that's wonderful. We have a lot of people in Florida, like I said in Arizona. There's also funding there for families in Arizona and in Canada.I do have a few families as well.

Kellan Fluckiger

Do you find, you said the, the government giving funding, which is basically allowing parents to spend more effort and energy than they otherwise would because they're getting some money, which means they don't have to earn it somewhere else to live. And do you find. Where are the favorite places? I know you said Florida and Arizona and you related it to the funding.Are there other favorite places where it, it's. Is it money or is it something else that causes people to care more about their kids and being willing to invest the time? What I see.Well, I want you to answer that, but I want to say one more thing.One of the things I see is when I saw it with Veronica, our little Ukrainian galaxy and my youngest kids, which is still some years ago because mine are all grown up long, but that the, that so many parents, they just dump their kids in the school and they expect the school to do everything and you know, they don't really want to take any responsibility. But one of the keys, you said is the parental involvement. So tell me the relationship you see any places that are more about that?

Houlie Duquet

I. I wouldn't say any places like homeschooling is taking a lot of strength in a lot of different places. In the United States is the strongest out of the entire world. But I do see like groups of people, like for example, entrepreneurs.Entrepreneurs are more open to homeschooling because they, when you are an entrepreneur, you are doing things against the system, right?Because when you go to school, you're kind of traditional school, you're being trained, trained to follow instructions and then you graduate from that, you go to college and then you get hired by someone. And as long as you follow instructions, you have this paycheck and then eventually you can retire later on in your life when you're much older.And I feel like your freedom would be more valuable when you're raising children or when you're younger then, then.But in any case, we see a lot of entrepreneurs that they have to teach themselves so many skills, makes them realize how much they didn't learn valuable things in school. And so they're a little bit more rebellious with the way that they see the world or at least what society tells us to do.And so they tend to be the ones that want to homeschool the most. Also expats, I find is another, another big group because it's people who have an open mind.You know, they have a, they have a mind open enough to have decided to leave their country of origin and go somewhere else. And they can see how much power they have in writing their own story.So yeah, expats, entrepreneurs, I think right now a lot of people are also starting to consider homeschool because the schools, it's just becoming too evident with all the low performing schools and you know, all the chaos that is happening inside the schools that parents are realizing. I don't, I Don't. I can do so much better at home, right. And to take the step is overwhelming.But from all the families that I have worked with and from many homeschool families that I've talked to, I haven't met the first homeschooler that regrets homeschooling, you know, So I think that is just the way that the world is going now. I think that personalized education, it is the future of education. I really do believe that because the world is changing with AI.So many jobs are disappearing, so many new jobs are taking.And so if AI is going to be like the right hand or it's going to be able to take over so many repetitive, following instructions type jobs, why are we still training a whole like all these generations to. To do what some, you know, some technology can do, Right? It makes no sense. So I think that's that, you know, things are changing.

Kellan Fluckiger

I love that entrepreneurs, those that go against the grain, the square pegs and the round holes, people that are also noticing that schools are very diplomatic. Schools are a flipping disaster in the United States and Canada is not that much better or, or if any, and they're a disaster.They're not teaching kids to think. They're not teaching them critical thinking. They're not teaching them to reason. And yeah, I'm on a soapbox, but okay. And you are.So you are the answer because you said, oh, you know, the idea of homeschooling your kid is so overwhelming. Well, not if they come and get, you know, homeschooling to go.Because you not only help them learn how to do it, but you customize it because you talk to the kids and you make it matter to them. So you're like the answer. The entrepreneur's dream for their kids.

Houlie Duquet

I think that. I think it's a.Again, from all those conversations that I had, from all the listening, I realized what were the specific problems that a parent in that position has. And, and it's like the ongoing support. So that's why I have teachers that check in with the parents every week to make sure everything's going well.If they need to change anything and keep them accountable, all these things, then we have the resources, of course, that, like I mentioned, are personalized to the child's genius areas. And then we also have community within that.I think when you are the type of person who thinks differently once more for your own life and you raise your child that way, I consider myself one of those parents. Like, I really, truly care and I, and I take my job as a mom Very seriously, you find that there are so many people that are still dormant out there.And so the majority of kids that are being raised in that way, you know, like eating all the dyes and watching all the screens and not really getting as much time with their parents, you. You get a little bit protective because influence is very important.Like, who you surround yourself with is going to have a big impact on who you become.So I know a lot of parents like me that feel that way and wish that they could expose their children to children that were more ambitious or more grounded or, you know, like just higher standards for their life. And so what we do as well is we have one call a month for every student.We group the students with their teachers, and one call a month in English and one call a month in Spanish. So it's bi weekly. And the students get together and they show each other the projects.In the lower grades, like kindergarten, second grade, the teachers do games, like language games and math games and critical thinking games.And all these kids that all have parents that really care about their education and that have all these wonderful insights and values, they're all influencing each other. And it's really cool. Like, this is one of my favorite parts.Like, to see them all interact and talk about and recommend each other books and, like, show each other, you know, like, one is working on coding this space simulation, and the other one is working on, you know, their business for bakery and the other one, you know, like, it's just so cool to see them all come together. And I didn't intend that on purpose. Like, I was doing these calls because I thought community would be so important.And then as they got together, I realized, like, how wonderful it is that the entire community of students that we have, they are like, I consider them all geniuses in their own ways. And they're all like that special kid that you meet and you're like, wow, that kid's amazing. That's all of our community.And so it's really cool also to have that community aspect. And. And I.And I found a lot of parents also told me, you know, we come back every year because we don't want to let go of the amazing community that you built. So. So yeah, I listened to those observations from the families and I put together what. What I interpreted was their dream to have. And it is.When you are in the. In the stage of making the. The plot, like, making the choice, taking the leap into homeschooling is overwhelming.And you don't want to be overwhelmed because you want to be A role model for your child.And so for me, it's a pleasure to be able to take that weight off the shoulder of the parents so that they can sit down with their kids and enjoy that. This project tells us exactly what we need to do. So now I get to just sit down with my child and enjoy that time, that interaction.We are both students together in the journey of their learning. Right? Like the parent doesn't need to know it all, they just need to go through the process.Like every project is separated between the research phase, the execution phase, the presentation phase and the reflection. So parents can easily go through that even if they don't have all the answers because there's the research phase. Right.And so, yeah, I think that's, that's what if we want more children to grow to their highest potential, we need to have more parents that have the freedom to do that. And so my job is to make it as easy for the parents so that the parents can enjoy their time with their children.

You know, nobody's going to watch this episode and not be infected by your energy and the commitment you have to this. So I want you to, this is going to be an open ended question.I've asked you some different things and you've given a spirit, spectacular descriptions and energy. And anybody that has kids that doesn't want to homeschool them after this, they're asleep or they're not listening. What didn't I ask you?That's part of your program, how to get a hold of you? Like what didn't we talk about that we need to talk about. You said you have a giveaway. I need a website.I need anything else that needs to go with this spectacular energy and love that you've poured into these kids and parents.

Houlie Duquet

Thank you so much for those kind words. It really means the world to me that you can see, like how it's.

Kellan Fluckiger

Easy.

If you like I, I was telling you earlier, but we were on air. So from having conversations with thousands of parents that are in that position, like you're wondering what it would take to become a homeschooler.If you can do it, if you're, if you qualify, like, am I trained enough to be able to do it? Do I have what it takes? If you're in that position and you have all those questions that are making you feel overwhelmed.Because I've talked to so many of you, I put together a Masterclass. It's a 30 minute video where I go through all of the questions, I answer them with, with real stats, with Real peer reviewed information.And then I also give you the next steps, like everything from how to find out what's the legal authority that you fall under and what you need to do to comply. How do you schedule your day so that homeschooling doesn't feel like it's taking away from your life. The opposite is giving you joy.All these things are in this masterclass. I sent your, I, I sent Joy the link so she can put it in the foot in the, the notes for the, for the episode.But if you go to www.homeschool t o g o homeschooltogo.org my website will come up in the first screen right there, there's going to be a big button that says the Homeschool to Go Free masterclass. You click that, you can sign up for that and that video should answer most of your questions.If you have any more specific questions beyond that, after you watch the video, there's an opportunity to book a one on one with me where I can just listen to you in a call like this and I can answer those questions as well and help you get started. But I do think that if you have that calling, the role of a parent has the potential to make way more impact than a career.In my opinion, you are replaceable in every role in your life except, except for the one of being a mom or being a father to your child. And so I do think it's worth dedicating enough energy to that one.And if you have that calling, it'd be my pleasure to support you in making that happen.

And offering a free consultation after that is just amazing. Julie, I can't thank you enough.I am moved and I have 10 children, but they're all grown up and moved into the universe now. And so I can't do anything with that.But some of my kids are homeschooling already and I am going to let them know about this program, homeschool to go for grandkids. Like I'm way too old to have kids to worry about, but I love it. I just, I love you for what you're doing. You're amazing. Thank you.
