• 1KHO 520: Learning That’s Tethered to Real Life | Morgan and Hudson Wild, Off the Couch and Into Creation

  What if the most lasting lessons your kids learn didn’t come from a textbook—but from a creek bed, a moth wing, or a flashlight beam sweeping across the night? In this powerful and joy-filled episode, Ginny Yurich welcomes Hudson and Morgan Wild—two of the beloved Wild Brothers—for a conversation that’s deeply affirming for parents who want more than a screen-based childhood for their kids. The Wild Brothers share how growing up in the jungles of Indonesia shaped their imaginations, values, and creative spirit, and how those early days laid the foundation for their family-run streaming platform and their latest endeavor: a groundbreaking homeschool curriculum. Together, 1000 Hours Outside and the Wild Brothers have launched Off the Couch and Into Creation—an eight-week curriculum that equips families to rediscover adventure, connection, and hands-on learning right in their own backyards. This episode will reawaken your sense of wonder, affirm your efforts to raise kids differently, and remind you that you don’t have to be on the far side of the world to raise explorers.

• 1KHO 519: How to Avoid Interrupted Potential, Stunted Development, and Stimulation Dependence | Dr. Nicholas Kardaras and Andrew Laubacher

  We’re watching it happen in real time: children who are overstimulated, underdeveloped, and cut off from the real-world experiences that shape a full, vibrant life. In this groundbreaking conversation, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras—addiction expert and bestselling author of Glow Kids—returns to the podcast alongside Andrew Laubacher, executive director of Humanality. Together, they expose the modern epidemic of screen dependence, explore its spiritual and neurological toll, and explain why childhood itself is being disrupted at the deepest levels. But this isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a roadmap out. Andrew shares his journey of trading viral fame for a flip phone and true freedom, and how Humanality is helping young adults and families reclaim creativity, community, and resilience. Dr. Kardaras offers a stark warning about AI, influencer culture, and tech's sedative effect on society—but also gives hope that we can still turn the tide. If you’ve ever wondered whether we’re doing enough to protect our kids, this episode will shake you—and empower you. ** Books mentioned in this episode: Glow Kids by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras Digital Madness by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras Generation AI by Matt Britton Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman The Disappearance of Childhood by Neil Postman The Shallows by Nicholas Carr Slow Productivity by Cal Newport Careless People by Sarah Churchwell Learn more about your ad choices.
