    The Future of Education? New Scientology Books for Kids Just Released | DDN Ep 29

    For the first time, a full set of Scientology courses and books designed specifically for children has officially been released. Not one or two concepts. A complete system covering the core ideas, now simplified, illustrated, and made understandable for kids as young as 7. In this episode, Aaron and Brad break down what makes this release so different and why it could completely change how children learn about life, relationships, and personal responsibility. We're not talking about memorization or boring textbooks. We're talking about kids who actually want to study. Kids choosing to stay in course for hours. Kids learning how to communicate, handle emotions, take responsibility, and help others in a way that's simple, practical, and real. Aaron shares what he's seen firsthand with his daughter, who is fully immersed in these courses and more excited about learning than ever before. And the biggest question comes up… The episode dives into key concepts being taught to kids, like communication, honesty, control, responsibility, and understanding others. Not as abstract ideas, but as tools they can actually apply in real life. This isn't just about education. It's about raising a different kind of generation. If you're a parent, this conversation will make you rethink what kids are capable of learning and how early it can start.

    Public vs Private Schools: What is the Real Difference? | Head of School Jim Zwers

    In this episode, Aaron and Brad sit down with Jim Zwers, Head of Clearwater Academy, to break down what's really happening inside today's education system and why more families are leaving public schools than ever before. Jim has spent 25+ years running a school built on a completely different model… one that focuses on mastery, real understanding, and helping students succeed based on their own goals, not just pushing them through a system. They get into the real differences between public and private education, including why traditional schools often create gaps in learning, how students can go years without fully understanding the basics, and what happens when education becomes more about the system than the individual. Jim explains how their approach flips that model, focusing on mastering subjects before moving forward, rewarding production, and giving students a reason to actually want to learn. The conversation also dives into why more parents are pulling their kids out of public schools, the rise of homeschooling, and the growing concern around technology and its impact on children's ability to think and learn. And beyond education, Jim shares how tools he learned from Scientology, especially study technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard, helped him personally overcome struggles in school and build a system that produces confident, capable students. If you're a parent, educator, or business owner who's ever wondered why people coming out of the school system struggle to think, communicate, or produce… this episode will give you a completely different perspective.

    20 Years Working in the Scientology Church | What's It Really Like? | Andy Holmes

    In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Andy Holmes shares what it's really like to spend 20 years working inside the Church of Scientology and why he's still fully committed today. Andy didn't grow up in Scientology. As a teenager, he struggled in school, nearly fell behind due to literacy challenges, and later found himself caught in a destructive cycle of drug use while in college. After a turning point that left him physically and mentally drained, he was introduced to Scientology through his father, and what followed completely changed the direction of his life. He talks about how the Purification Rundown helped him recover, why he decided to dedicate his life to the Church at just 19 years old, and how his motivation has evolved over two decades from simply staying away from drugs to a deeper mission of helping others and contributing to a better future for his children. Andy also breaks down common misconceptions about Scientology, explains why he believes religion is making a comeback, and shares his perspective on spirituality as a solution to some of the biggest issues in society, including crime, addiction, and lack of purpose. On top of that, he opens up about building a massive social media presence for the Church of Scientology in San Francisco, reaching millions of people, and answering some of the most asked questions about the religion online. Whether you're curious about Scientology, interested in personal transformation, or want to understand what drives someone to commit 20 years of their life to a mission like this, this episode gives you a raw, first hand perspective.

    How Having Kids Helped Us Build a Successful Business | Whitney Cordovez

    In this episode of the Don't Do Nothing Podcast, Aaron's wife Whitney Cordovez shares how having children became the turning point in building their business and life. When Whitney and Aaron first started out, they had almost nothing. One income, credit card debt, uncertainty, and a lot of ambition. Aaron was trying different ventures without real traction. Everything changed when Whitney became pregnant. Responsibility became real. The pressure increased. The drive to produce intensified. Whitney explains how each child raised their standard. More responsibility meant more focus. More urgency meant smarter decisions. Aaron went through an intense programming bootcamp while she was pregnant. They risked money they didn't have. Then when launching an Amazon Business they tested products from home with babies in the background. At one point, they were barely profitable and had to completely change how they were operating. They talk openly about roles inside the marriage, decision-making, handling disagreement, and how long-term thinking shaped everything from family planning to business growth. Whitney shares why she believes in supporting your spouse's vision without projecting doubt, and how strong partnership creates stability both at home and in business. This episode is about responsibility, alignment, and turning pressure into production.
