In the second episode of Theirworld's 20th anniversary special, Theirworld Chair Sarah Brown talks with Benedict Joson, a former Global Youth Ambassador (GYA) who supported Theirworld's 2015 #UpForSchool petition calling on world leaders to prioritise education.  The petition gathered 11 million signatures, making it the largest petition for education in history – and Benedict took a starring role, delivering the petition with global pop sensation Shakira to Gordon Brown, the UN's Special Envoy for Global Education.  Sarah also speaks with Ben Hewitt, Theirworld‘s Director of Campaigns and Communications who spearheaded the campaign, about how supporters travelled to some of the remotest parts of the world to collect signatures for the petition.   Sarah also catches up with June Sarpong, author, broadcaster and Theirworld Advisory Board member, who was an ambassador for this campaign. She recalls the optimism of the GYAs and their determination to bring about change.  

Today's episode is a panel discussion held at the recent Outback Highway Development Company Annual General Meeting. We hear from Tannis Godfrey, from Tobermorey Station; Kerryn Santucci, the Logistics Manager for Oz Minerals in Western Australia on the Great Central Road; Mike Batchelor, the Business Development Officer for Qube Logistics; David Elliot, Chairman of the Australian Age of Dinosaurs at Winton in Queensland; and Ben Hewitt, the Chief Operations Officer for Hewitt Cattle Company. They all talk about the Outback Way and the value a sealed road will provide to their businesses or the tourism expansion, and also some of the issues they're currently facing due to the gravel. So it's a fascinating discussion for both the pastoral industry, the mining industry, logistics, tourism and the cattle industry.

“When people feel psychologically safe at work, creativity and productivity increase.” As children of the 80s, Ben and I both lived and worked in very socially-driven and fast-moving times but for Ben, six years in the frenetic world of running a PR and events business reached a pain point which eventually led him on a new journey. A year of travelling and self-discovery transformed his pain into purpose, and he is now a business leadership coach, helping support businesses with meaningful cultural change. His focus is on the people and the culture (and the storytelling behind them) within organisations with the goal to bring conscious engagement alongside strategic engagement to create greater fulfilment and purpose. Increasingly, clients are asking for his guidance to find spiritual and cultural solutions to commercial problems. Some questions I ask: Do you think it is possible to create an authentic culture without the ability to connect and be present? Will businesses with a dysfunctional culture be able to survive?   How did you get to the point in your career when you realised that this was your calling? What was painful about letting your previous businesses go? In this episode, you will learn: To think too far ahead is to invite anxiety and neurosis: live in the day and stay present Within our culture, we are taught to think commercially not culturally, and materialistically rather than spiritually Younger generations are realising that enough is enough, and that more than enough can make you miserable The less purposeful your life, the more money you need to offset the meaninglessness Ben's 3 gems: Slow down Learn to sense with your intuition rather than think with your mind Put your healing and recovery first and everything else follows that

Happy Memorial Day to everyone and especially to the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. This is a holiday celebrated with BBQ and while some of you are stuffed from your to-go plate, others are probably looking to catch a plate this weekend too. If you’re in the Greater Lafayette, Indiana area, I got a truck for you.

Today, we talk about how regional BBQ, life as a part-time food trucker, and seeing turkey beyond thanksgiving meat.

This is a special edition of the Better Angels podcast where we talk to iconic changemakers around the world. This episode has been recorded for the People’s Postcode Lottery – for everyone who plays it and everyone who works there supporting both the players and the charities – at Theirworld we want to say thank you and share some of our stories from our Better Angels interviews so you can hear about the impact that your support makes. Here you will hear from global leaders from the United Nations, European Commission, Africa, and Lebanon, from the Theirworld leadership team, our ambassador Nick Sharratt and if you listen to the end how well known actors like David Morrissey, Sir Patrick Stewart and David Tennant add their voices to our campaigns and causes they care about. Theirworld’s vision is to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation. Five years ago, while nearly half of the world’s out-of-school children were caught up in conflict, its aftermath and natural disasters around the world, big change was needed. This meant addressing large-scale structural change as well as determining what works on the ground - from school transport and nutritious meals to trauma counselling and effective teaching for refugee children. The players of the People’s Postcode Lottery have enabled Theirworld to tackle new areas of involvement, push our campaign worldwide and get right up close to the decision-makers who can unlock that big change and create a brighter future for millions of children. We believe that the trust that the players, and the team at People’s Postcode Lottery, have placed in Theirworld has made a difference to our goals. And we would like to share with you some of the perspectives on how we go about addressing the global education crisis Contributors (in order of appearance) Sarah Brown Chair, Theirworld Graça Machel Global advocate for women’s and children’s rights Wanja Maina Global Youth Ambassador for Theirworld.

Author, dad and farmer Ben Hewitt has emerged as one of the leaders in the alternative education movement. For over a decade he and his wife Penny have explored the nuances of "unschooling" their kids (a word they admittedly dislike). Basically, the idea is to give kids room to explore, follow their excitement and then - as parents - step in and facilitate, add enthusiasm and get out of the way. The result are two boys who are independent, confident and highly expressed. This road has led them through all manner of peaks and valleys, which we explore in this conversation. What happened when Ben's eldest son wasn't reading by the (supposed) "correct" time? What did Ben and Penny do when they discovered their youngest son trapping animals on their farm? How did they respond when their eldest suddenly desired a traditional school/educational experience? And, what are their views of the standard educational system in the west now with over 10 years of experience behind them? We discuss this and much, much more with Ben Hewitt in this Ownstream Podcast interview. Mostly, we delve into the remarkable nature of learning and creativity and how joyful and expansive it can be if we simply allow kids to follow their own excitement, and then, do the hardest thing: let go. Enjoy! The post OS36: Ben Hewitt – Unschooling, Fostering Curiosity & Learning To Let Go appeared first on Ownstream.

“As I’ve grown and been influenced by people, and had mentors that have been very successful in the venture capital community, very successful businesspeople, the connection between all of them is their integrity. And it doesn’t matter what kind of vertical they’re in, what kind of market they’re in, that’s what makes them successful.”​Ben Hewitt, Partner & Head of Sales at Hunt Club, and Operating Partner at New Coast Ventures, joins us.Full show notes available at www.discoveryourinnerawesome.com.

Author and practiculturalist Ben Hewitt is back on ReWild Yourself Podcast to give us a peek inside his adventures in building a lifestyle living with and from the land. Ben resides on a thriving 100-acre homestead in Vermont where he and his family explore back-to-the-land living, permaculture design, wildcrafting, traditional skills and alternative education paths for their two sons.  In this episode, Ben shares on the evolution of his family’s personal journey as modern homesteaders. We discuss alternative childhood education and how his sons’ education paths have evolved in some unexpected directions. We also get into the topics of community-based living vs self-sufficient living, harvest sharing and how to strike a balance between foraging and farming. Ben’s non-dogmatic approach to this lifestyle is refreshing, and he has some wonderful insights for those aspiring to build their own ReWilded homestead.

Learn more about this episode at permaculturevoices.com/cd10 Support the show at permaculturevoices.com/support Today’s show centers around Ben Hewitt’s book Home Grown; a great book that has had a profound effect on my life. It's one of those books that I couldn't put down and at the same point it was hard to read because I got so lost in thought reading it. It's a rare must read category book for me. It should appeal to the homesteader, the wannabe homesteader, the parent, the soon to be parent, and the millions of people who are feel like the system did them wrong by sending them off on the wrong path in life destined to a life of track homes and cubicles. It's a vicarious look into the life that many of wish we could live, but don't... The subtitle of the book is Adventures in Parenting off the beaten path, unschooling and reconnecting with the natural world. Ben describes it as his sharing of stories, "They are not merely stories about all we are learning but also about all we are unlearning and about our imperfect quest to inhabit a balanced place that allows us to remain part of a broader world while also living in a way that is true to our values and vision. In a sense, for us this has been the easy part. I have found that the harder part is determining how to conduct our lives in a manner than honors these values and this vision, even as we are continually confronted with evidence that such a quest is impractical, if not downright naive." The book is deep, and I hope that it gets you thinking. This episode and this book is one that is very important to me because Ben's book had such an impact on me and as the title of this episode says, it got me to stop worrying and to start living. I hope that it has an impact on you, if you are in need of one. Ben Hewitt and I, two father, talking kids and life, here it is.

Learn more about this episode at permaculturevoices.com/cd11 Support the show at permaculturevoices.com/support This is Part 2 of the Ben Hewitt series and it is inspired by Part 1, the interview with Ben about his book Home Grown. If you missed that one and want listen to it, you can listen to it here. For today's episode, I want to expand upon some of my thoughts form the interview and the book. My goal for this episode was to make it a though provoking one. It's me dancing between idealistic life and reality. Let's call it realistic idealism. How can we realistically create a system that is close to ideal as possible? A lot of this is me thinking a loud and hopefully getting you to really think about you life and how things are. There are a few central issues to this episode - time meaning how precious it is and us as adults dealing with raising the next generation of kids; maybe through the K-12 public school system, but maybe not after hearing this one.

It's one of those books that I couldn't put down and at the same point it was hard to read because I got so lost in thought reading it. It's a rare must read category book for me. It should appeal to the homesteader, the wannabe homesteader, the parent, the soon to be parent, and the millions of people who are feel like the system did them wrong by sending them off on the wrong path in life destined to a life of track homes and cubicles. It's a vicarious look into the life that many of wish we could live, but don't... The subtitle of the book is Adventures in Parenting off the beaten path, unschooling and reconnecting with the natural world. Ben describes it as his sharing of stories, "They are not merely stories about all we are learning but also about all we are unlearning and about our imperfect quest to inhabit a balanced place that allows us to remain part of a broader world while also living in a way that is true to our values and vision. In a sense, for us this has been the easy part. I have found that the harder part is determining how to conduct our lives in a manner than honors these values and this vision, even as we are continually confronted with evidence that such a quest is impractical, if not downright naive." The book is deep, and I hope that it gets you thinking. This episode and this book is one that is very important to me because Ben's book had such an impact on me and as the title of this episode says, it got me to stop worrying and to start living. I hope that it has an impact on you, if you are in need of one. Ben Hewitt and I, two father, talking kids and life, here it is.

A conversation with one of Vermont's most committed homesteaders.

There's probably listeners out there who homeschool their kids using a curriculum that you've developed or bought online. But there's another type of homeschooling that doesn't use a curriculum, and it's called unschooling. It's a fascinating concept in which you have your kids at home, but put them in situations where they need to use problem solving skills and math and other subjects to complete a task at hand. My guest today, Ben Hewitt, has unschooled his two boys, and on the show we talk about how and why they've chosen this lifestyle.

I was homeschooled my entire life, K-12. So I was intrigued by that begins like this: "In early September, in a clapboard house situated on 43 acres just outside a small town in northern Vermont, two boys awaken. They are brothers; the older is 12, the younger 9, and they rise to a day that has barely emerged from the clutches of dark. It is not yet autumn, but already the air has begun to change, the soft nights of late summer lengthening and chilling into the season to come. Outside the boys’ bedroom window, the leaves on the maples are just starting to turn. School is back in session and has been for two weeks or more, but the boys are unhurried. They dress slowly, quietly. Faded and frayed thrift-store camo pants. Flannel shirts. Rubber barn boots. Around their waists, leather belts with knife sheaths. In each sheath, a fixed-blade knife. By 6:30, with the first rays of sun burning through the ground-level fog, the boys are outside. At some point in the next hour, a yellow school bus will rumble past the end of the driveway that connects the farm to the town road. The bus will be full of children the boys’ age, their foreheads pressed against the glass, gazing at the unfurling landscape, the fields and hills and forests of the small working-class community they call home. The boys will pay the bus no heed. This could be because they will be seated at the kitchen table, eating breakfast with their parents. Or it might be because they are already deep in the woods below the house, where a prolific brook trout stream sluices through a stand of balsam fir; there is an old stone bridge abutment at the stream’s edge, and the boys enjoy standing atop it, dangling fresh-dug worms into the water. Perhaps they won’t notice the bus because they are already immersed in some other project: tillering a longbow of black locust, or starting a fire over which to cook the quartet of brookies they’ve caught. They heat a flat rock at the fire’s edge, and the hot stone turns the fishes’ flesh milky white and flaky. Or maybe the boys will pay the bus no heed because its passing is meaningless to them. Maybe they have never ridden in a school bus, and maybe this is because they’ve never been to school. Perhaps they have not passed even a single day of their short childhoods inside the four walls of a classroom, their gazes shifting between window and clock, window and clock, counting the restless hours and interminable minutes until release. Maybe the boys are actually my sons, and maybe their names are Fin and Rye, and maybe, if my wife, Penny, and I get our way, they will never go to school. Hey, a father can dream, can’t he?" Today, I have that dreaming father on the podcast, and you're going to learn everything you need to know about unschooling, alternative education models, sustainable homestead living, and much more. Even if you don't live "in the sticks", you're going to pick up plenty of advice about how to raise your own children or help those around you raise their children to become independent, free-thinking resilient kids who know how to thrive in unpredictable situations. My guest is Ben Hewitt, author of , and in this interview, you'll discover: -How Ben and his family live like royalty on a thrifty budget, and how you can too... -How to find mentors and internships for your children... -How Ben's children learned how to read with no "formal" education... -The difference between unschooling and homeschooling... -How to unschool even if you don't live on a farm or a homestead, especially if you're in an urban environment... -How to ensure that your children don't become isolated loners or socially awkward... -Potential alternatives to unschooling for people who aren't confident doing it or don't have the time... -And much more!

Unschooling is a growing movement for those looking for an alternative to the traditional schooling system. Ben Hewitt — modern homesteader, unschooling father and author — calls it "self-directed, adult-facilitated life learning” or “immersion learning.” In this episode, Ben shares his experience with unschooling his two boys on their Vermont homestead. Rather than sitting at a desk, in a fluorescent-lit classroom, memorizing facts all day, Ben’s boys’ days are spent doing things like building barns, apprenticing with a local blacksmith and foraging food for that night’s dinner. Our conversation is fascinating, and whether or not you are a parent (or soon-to-be parent), if you went through traditional schooling for any portion of your life (most of us), you are sure to enjoy this show!
