Ways Any Father Can Help with Homeschooling (Special Guest Blake Smith!)
In this episode, we welcome Chandler's husband, Blake Smith, to explore how dads can play a pivotal role in homeschooling by bringing their kids into their work as apprentices.

If you’re looking for practical ways to integrate homeschooling with real-world learning, this conversation will inspire you to think outside the box and embrace the power of apprenticeship in your home.

U.S. President Met Aliens | Paul Blake Smith Makes The Argument That Eisenhower Did
A UFO and extraterrestrial encounter would seem all the more significant if it happened to a President of The United States Of America; or any leader of any nation. This begs the question: what was the purpose? Why them, and why would it be covered up? Whether there is truth this story or not - joining Alan this week to cover this very subject is Paul Blake Smith who will discuss his new book PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. In his book, Paul takes a close look at the serious clues and claims that a sitting U.S. president...
