0:00.0	Today on the show we're going to take a history class with a teacher named Brett.
0:03.9	He's going to give us a history of schooling and the school system so that we can have some
0:10.3	context to make intelligently radical, radically intelligent decisions around education. Well, Welcome to the Radical Personal Finance Podcast. My name is Joshua Sheets and today is

0:47.2	context and information that you may not have ever been exposed to which I think will help you and give you a higher degree of confidence

2:05.3	And then throughout the interview that's coming, you're going to have some context around
2:09.8	the history of school that I think will be very valuable for you. Context for why I'm doing
