Robert shares his personal journey from being one of the first 11 students in Classical Conversations to leading the organization for over 13 years. He opens up about the family values that shaped him—hard work, self-discipline, and carrying the family name with honor—and how he's now passing these principles to his own children through practical strategies like job cards instead of allowances and teaching them to work before they play.

Discover the surprising truth about who's really funding the school choice movement and why educational independence matters now more than ever. Robert also explains what it means to become "anti-fragile" as a family—rejecting consumerism, living within your means, and building resilience that doesn't depend on government systems. Whether you're a homeschooling parent, educator, pastor, or anyone concerned about educational freedom, this conversation offers both warning and hope for raising the next generation to know God and make Him known.

Ro is joined by Dakota Lynch and Emma Bortins for a powerful conversation on two essential — yet often overlooked — spiritual disciplines: Public Reading of Scripture (PRS) and Scripture memorization.In a culture saturated with screens, instant access, and AI, is it still necessary to memorize Scripture? And if we each have a Bible on our phone, has public reading become obsolete?Together, they explore why Scripture calls us to read aloud and remember, and how the practice of public reading of Scripture can actually enhance our ability to memorize God's Word. The conversation touches on how modern technology, while convenient, may be shaping our habits in ways that unintentionally disconnect us from the richness of God's Word. This episode is a timely reminder that the living Word of God isn't just meant to be stored on our bookshelf — it's meant to be heard, read, memorized, and lived out together.Ro's Resource Room is a series of informational podcasts designed to equip and encourage families on their homeschooling journeys.

Bryce Eddy sits down with Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, to talk about why parents—not the state—must take full responsibility for their children’s education. They dive into the history of America’s public school system, how it was modeled after Prussia to create obedient citizens, and why “school choice” may actually be a Trojan horse for government control. Robert shares his personal homeschooling journey, why classical education works with how God designed the brain to learn, and why outsourcing education to the state is a dangerous trade-off.

What is truth? Our world is overrun with subjective truth, postmodernism, and emotionalism, where everyone's “truth” is equally valid and there's no such thing as objective truth. But this is a lie. As Refining Rhetoric is all about seeking the capital-T Truth in every arena of life, throughout the course of 2023 Robert asked his guests to weigh in with their definitions of truth. In this wrap-up episode for the year, Robert replays and reacts to the best responses from his guests to the question, “What is truth?” As you hear from guests like Dale Partridge, David Goodwin, Joyce Burges, Israel Wayne, and more, you'll discover that truth is a person, why you can't build a society on lies, that the church is the pillar of truth, why you can't believe in your own subjective truth and still believe in Jesus, why you shouldn't send your children to schools that don't believe in objective truth, why truth is anything that fits into God's narrative, why real truth never changes, why our relationship with Christ ought to motivate our obedience to Him, off of what standard we should base our understanding of truth, and much more. Finally, in “Classical Crypto,” Will discusses the current market sentiment and why there is reason to be optimistic about crypto in 2024.

Chief Executive Officer of Classical Conversations, Inc. Robert Bortins joins Jeff to discuss the recent trend that high school boys are leaning more conservative.
Education in America used to focus on reading, writing, arithmetic, and critical thinking. That's not as true today, unfortunately. Deviating from high educational standards and core American values has led to societal upheaval and a generation ignorant of the blessings and responsibilities of living in a free society. Teaching young people how to think, not what to think, prepares them for adulthood, and empowering them with truth prepares them for leadership. What can business owners do to support school choice, especially homeschooling, and how can doing so increase their bottom line? Linda and her guest, Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, discuss this and the benefits of a well-educated populace for the future of our nation. Freedom can be lost in one generation. Let's make sure it is not lost in ours. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Click link to Register Intro CEO of Classical Conversations is a job that Robert Bortins was born to do…literally. Leigh Bortins dissatisfied with the education options she found as a new mom, decided first to homeschool her four sons, and then decided to develop her own curriculum, and Robert, her oldest son, was her first pupil. Robert has a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Clemson University in 2006. After graduating, he worked as a management trainee for UPS and as a plant engineer for Easy Gardener, a Jobes company. In 2011 he returned to the family business, Classical Conversations, Inc., to develop a marketing program. He was then appointed CEO of the family-owned company in 2012. In the years since Robert Bortins became CEO of Classical Conversations, the company has grown by 300 percent and has become the world's largest classical homeschooling organization. Robert is a member of the board of directors of Homeschool Now USA, the Carolinas Rugby Union and the Clemson University Rugby Foundation Board. He is also a member of C12 Group, the largest professional development network of Christian CEOs and executives. Under Robert's leadership, Classical Conversations has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by BCWI for four years in a row. Very Powerful, Convicting and Thought Provoking Takeaways You do not need to be a trained educator to teach your children; sometimes being trained is a hinderance since homeschooling is not schooling at home but a way of life, and unlearning those habits can be hard. When parents say they cannot be around their children all day is a sign of a deeper that parents do not want to address. Not wanting to be around your kid also means you did not raise them in way that you would want to be around them. Education is to prepare you to engage in life and with those around you. Homeschooling allows your teenager to mature in the areas that are important and will benefit them and their future society.

Many people are surprised at the perceived swiftness of cultural shifts in our society affecting economic prosperity, national security, and the stability of families and communities. Freedoms we once took for granted hang in the balance. It may seem sudden, but change happens slowly until it happens all at once. Ideologies dominating the upheaval have been permeating our educational system for decades, and results are evident. How can parents and employers turn the tide and promote skills that teach how to think, not what to think? Listen as Linda discusses this and more with Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, a unique educational resource company serving families around the world. © Copyright 2022, Prosperity 101, LLC ----------------------------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com Or click here to order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.
