488: Connor Boyack—Spontaneous Order
Summary
<p>Spontaneous Order might sound like a contradiction, but according to author, entrepreneur, and educator <span class="whitespace-normal">Connor Boyack</span>, some of society's most important innovations emerge without a master plan.</p> <p>Mike sits down with Connor, the bestselling co-creator and co-author of <em>The Tuttle Twins</em> book series that inspired the hit animated show, founder and president of the <a href="http://libertas.org/">Libertas Network</a> and a leading advocate for teaching the principles of liberty, entrepreneurship, personal responsibility, and free markets to the next generation. Connor shares the mission that drives his work: helping families understand how free people, voluntary cooperation, and decentralized problem-solving can create remarkable outcomes.</p> <p>Along the way, he and Mike explore the power of ideas, the importance of questioning assumptions, why history still matters, and how a children's book series grew into a cultural phenomenon reaching millions of families. This conversation offers a fascinating look at the relationship between freedom, education, and the unexpected order that can arise when people are left free to innovate.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Big thanks to our terrific sponsors</p> <p><a href="https://www.puretalk.com/rowe">PureTalk.com/Rowe</a> Get <strong>UNLIMITED</strong> hi-speed data for just <strong>$34.99</strong> per month!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ziprecruiter.com/rowe">ZipRecruiter.com/Rowe</a> to post a job for <strong>FREE.</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://go.k12.com/mps/national/career-and-college-prep/?product=public_schools_generic&leadsource=paid_audio&lead_source_detail=aware_prospecting&tactic=offline&vendor=podsearch&vanity_url=k12.com-rowe&utm_campaign=podcasts&utm_content=rowe&utm_medium=paid_audio&utm_source=k12.com-rowe&adobe_mc=MCMID%3Dnull"> K12.com/Rowe</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>See what's possible for your child with <strong>K12's Career and College Prep</strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://auraframes.com/mike">AuraFrames.com/Mike</a> Use code <strong>MIKE</strong> to get <strong>$35 off</strong> their best-selling Carver Mat</p>
