“Most people we’ve met and had any level of conversation with — they’re all libertarian, except they just don’t know the term, and so they don’t know the philosophy either.
But they do know that they want the government out of their pockets and out of their bedrooms.”
On this week’s podcast, I sat down with Jody Underwood.
A former school board member and Free State Project board member, Jody discusses her off-grid lifestyle in New Hampshire, where she pursues self-sufficiency and runs an education non-profit. Drawn by the Free State Project, she moved with friends to embrace off-grid living, raising animals and growing food.
Jody shares insights into local education reform, including a controversial vote to drastically cut the school budget—later overturned—that sparked backlash. She critiques the traditional education system and advocates for alternatives like micro schools and homeschool co-ops, reflecting a broader shift toward personalized, parent-driven education.
Enjoy the conversation
