Eric talks with Jody Underwood of EdOpt about New Hampshire’s newly expanded homeschooling freedom and the growing range of educational options available to families. They discuss Education Freedom Accounts, private and charter schools, microschools, and the misconceptions that often keep parents from exploring alternatives to traditional public education. They also contrast New Hampshire’s approach with increasing restrictions in states like Connecticut and explain why educational freedom continues to attract families to the Free State.

Eric talks with Nikki Sunshine about the upcoming Family Planning Weekend, an event designed to introduce prospective movers to New Hampshire's family-focused community and opportunities. They also discuss why New Hampshire has become a destination for families seeking greater freedom, stronger communities, and more choices when it comes to raising children. Along the way, they explore the unique culture being built in the Free State, the value of connecting with like-minded families, and the many resources available for parents.

Speaking at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids, Eric shares how the Free State Project has transformed New Hampshire into a proving ground for libertarian ideas by encouraging thousands of liberty-minded people to relocate and get involved in their communities. He explains why he believes concentrating activists in one state has produced meaningful political, cultural, and economic change that would be difficult to achieve through scattered national efforts. Brakey also discusses why state and local action offers a more effective path to advancing liberty than focusing on Washington, D.C. The talk concludes with an audience Q&A covering grassroots organizing, political strategy, and the future of the liberty movement.
