Beyond School: Raising Leaders, Not Followers
Beyond School: Raising Leaders, Not Followers
With Jonathan “Jonno” Zalunardo | Apogee Australia
What if the greatest thing we could teach our children wasn’t how to pass a test, but how to think, lead and take responsibility for their own lives?
For many parents, conventional schooling presents a difficult dilemma. We want our children to develop strong academic foundations, but we also want them to be curious, creative, resilient, independent thinkers who genuinely love learning.
Can the traditional classroom deliver all of that? And if we choose to ste...
What Aussies Can Learn The American Freedom Movement
Over the past few years, I’ve watched a growing number of Australians looking to the US — particularly places like Texas — to see what people are actually building around food, land, privacy, alternative currencies and community.
When we recently introduced the PWQ audience to Live Free Academy, the response from Australia surprised even their team. Aussies joined the virtual summit, and some are travelling all the way to Texas to participate in person.
So I wanted to ask a bigger question:
What can Australia learn from what’s working — and not working — in America’s...
From Tragedy to Purpose — Building a Future Worth Inheriting
We don’t control the world our children inherit. But we have enormous influence over how prepared they are for it — and over what we choose to build for them now.
In this episode I sit down with my good mate Craig Schulze — entrepreneur, investor, podcast host and founder of the One Shot Movement.
Craig and I first connected during COVID, when both of us made the decision to speak up. But what started as a conversation about freedom, resilience, business and navigating an increasingly uncertain world ended up somewhere much deeper.
Craig shares...
The Relationship Crucible: Practical Ways to Build Stronger Families, Communities and Movements
For the past six years, I’ve spent a lot of time talking about freedom, broken systems and the need to build better alternatives for our families.
But increasingly, I’ve come to believe that our biggest challenge may not be creating new movements, communities or institutions.
It may be learning how to relate to one another well enough to sustain them.
In this episode of Parents With Questions, I’m joined by Aaron Christos and Greer Ashley from Intimacy for Couples to explore the relationship skills most of us were never taught: how to...
The Women We Can't Afford to Forget
In this episode of Parents With Questions, Adam Gibson speaks with Dr Dionne Payn, founder of Women 4 Homes, about the hidden housing crisis facing older women in Australia.
Women over 55 are one of the fastest-growing groups facing homelessness and housing insecurity in Australia. Many are not living on the streets, but are sleeping in cars, couch surfing, house sitting, living in garages, or quietly moving between unsafe and unstable arrangements.
Dionne explains the systemic factors behind this crisis, including the gender pay gap, career breaks for raising children, divorce, illness, lower...
You Don’t Have To Be Fringe To Be Free
For the past five years many Australians have focused on protecting themselves from a system they no longer trust.
But what if the next chapter isn’t about resistance?
What if it’s about creation?
In this episode, Trent Chapman explains why some of the world’s most influential organisations use public foundations, charities and purpose-driven structures to create lasting impact—and how ordinary Australians can do the same.
If you’ve ever wanted to build something bigger than yourself, this conversation may change the...
Busy Mornings vs Good Intentions - A Parent's Health Dilemma
Over the years through Parents With Questions, many of you have come to know me as the face of things.
But the truth is there has always been a co-founder quietly behind the scenes who rarely gets mentioned, and that’s my wife Fiona.
While I’ve been out the front speaking up for families and questioning broken systems, Fiona has been raising our three daughters, running her own architecture business and obsessing over one very practical question that most parents wrestle with every single day:
Teaching Kids Courage—Before the World Teaches Compliance
www.uncoercible.com/wild-ground
Most kids today aren’t lacking opportunity.
They’re lacking challenge, guidance, and a clear path into adulthood.
Instead of learning courage, critical thinking, and self-trust…
they’re being shaped by screens, peer pressure, and a culture that rewards compliance.
So what happens if we don’t step in?
In this episode, I sit down with Michael Hayes to explore why rites of passage are missing from modern life—and why that mat...
How Institutions Really Trade Gold (From a Former Insider)
What if trading gold wasn’t complicated… just misunderstood?
If the last few years have taught us anything…
it’s that financial insecurity leaves you exposed.
In this episode, former institutional trader Tony Barassi shares how the financial system really operates — and how institutions trade gold to generate income and protect wealth.
More importantly… how you can start thinking the same way.
This isn’t about chasing headlines or guessing the market.
It’s about building a strategy.

Leading Doctor Breaks Ranks on Food and Health
For decades, parents have been told a simple story about health:
Follow the food pyramid.
Trust the experts.
Do what the doctor says.
But what if some of those assumptions are wrong?
In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Professor Ian Brighthope, one of Australia’s pioneers of nutritional and environmental medicine, to unpack a generational shift in how we think about food, immunity, and the role of doctors in our lives.

Finding Your Superpower in Chaos - Jason Miles
In a world that feels increasingly unstable — politically, economically, socially — how do we not just survive… but thrive?
In this episode, Adam Gibson sits down with Jason Miles to explore what uncertain times demand of us — and the hidden strength they can reveal.
Before the conversation begins, Adam addresses the recent developments surrounding the Family Farm project. Of the four farms launched three years ago, three remain independently operational and producing food. One farm on the Sunshine Coast escalated into prolonged legal conflict and is now in liquidation.
Rather than focusing on conflict, this epi...
U16 Social Media Ban – Protection… or Onboarding?

The Quiet Revolution No One Sees Coming
https://libertyspenders.com/
We all remember what it felt like during lockdowns — the masks, the mandates, the ridiculous rules that changed every week.
But what hit me hardest was the day I stopped at a country bakery on my motorbike ride. I just wanted to grab a bite to eat, and a 15-year-old girl behind the counter told me I needed to wear a mask.
Think about that — a teenager, paid a few bucks an hour to serve pies and coffee, suddenly forced to become the health police. She wasn’t paid to do tha...
Turn Kid's Pocket Money into Precious Metal
What if your kids’ pocket money actually grew in value instead of disappearing on snacks and apps?
That question hit me a few years ago — and led to a simple idea that’s now changing how Aussie families think about saving.
I started paying my kids in real silver bullion coins for their chores and pocket money. Back then, silver was around $35–$40 an ounce.
They tucked those coins into a money box… and a year later, those same coins were worth over $80 each — without lifting a finger.
That’s when Silverstash was born — a s...
mRNA in Meat? Glyphosate in Veggies? How One Aussie Farmer Is Helping Families Take Back Control
If you’ve ever looked at your grocery bill and thought, “Something’s not right here,” you’re not alone.
Food prices have exploded, supermarket shelves are full of products we can’t pronounce, and the chemical load in our food system has quietly reached record levels. Now, with talk of mRNA vaccines entering the livestock supply, the need for families to reclaim their food sovereignty has never been greater.
This week on the Parents With Questions / Uncoercible Family Podcast, I sit down with Jason Ryan, founder of Hillview Farms — a former corporate executive turned regenerative f...

How to Build Wealth Without Losing Your Soul - Justin Pagotto
We all know that in times like these, financial sovereignty isn’t just a luxury — it’s survival.
In a world that’s proven how easily we can be controlled through dependency — jobs, debt, the system — being truly Uncoercible starts with taking back control of your finances.
But if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found that most financial advisors don’t get it. They don’t see the bigger picture — the agendas, the manipulation, the risks ahead — and their advice often misses what really matters: your values, your purpose, your peace of mind.
That’s why...
From fear to freedom: A psychologist’s take on our kids
In this powerful conversation, Adam Gibson sits down with Ros Nealon-Cook, the first Australian psychologist to publicly speak out against the COVID narrative back in 2020–21.

Together, Adam and Ros unpack what really went on behind the fear campaigns, lockdowns and professional gag orders that silenced so many voices of reason.
Drawing on decades of psychological insight, Ros explains how fear literally hijacks the human brain, shutting down critical thinking and driving good...
