Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 225: The Flaws of Public Schools & The New Education Model with Gillian Berard & Jenna Baggott

The public school system has been damaging our children… but it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this conversation, Alec sits down with the founders of Infinity Academy, a project-based and nature-rooted school that was created after years of questioning the assumptions behind institutional education.

Gillian, the school’s Curriculum and Instructional Lead, spent more than a decade teaching in public education and repeatedly felt that something about the system wasn’t working.

Jenna, a Registered Nurse and wellness educator, co-founded the school after recognizing similar systemic problems in healthcare and education.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 226: Natural Law: How Power, Agreements & "Offers" Work | Tom Barnett at Confluence

You have the greatest currency in the world within you… and you can use it to break out of the toxic system we live in.

This video is a little different from our usual podcast. Alec asked Tom Barnett to talk about Natural Law in the 2025 edition of the Confluence Festival, and his presentation called “The Offer” didn’t disappoint. His path into natural law, self-sovereignty, and personal responsibility began long before he even knew those words existed.

This presentation explores how the hero’s journey applies to modern life, the difference between lawful and legal systems, and why true change may begin with confronting our own inner government. If we want a different world, the first step might be remembering who we actually are.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 227: How to Actually Live Free: Self Governance, Parallel Communities & Bitcoin with John Bush

Politics and activism will not lead us to true freedom. Building an alternative system will.

John Bush joins Alec for a conversation that traces an unexpected journey, from political activism and grassroots organizing to a very different question: what if real freedom isn’t something that can be achieved through politics at all?

If you’ve ever wondered whether real freedom can be built rather than granted, this episode will challenge the way you think about the path forward.

It’s reallllly hard to describe this event. And we’re okay with that.

It’s not something you can accurately described with words. Words just don’t do it justice. They’re insufficient.

Confluence is something you have to directly experience to really know. When you look into the eyes of the beautiful people there, on this special land, grounded on the earth with the hearts wide open, you know that this event is just “different” in the best way.

At some level, you could say it’s about coming home.

Coming home to what it means to be you, here, on Earth, at this time.

Remembering who you really are.

And we’d love for you to join us in that, April 23-27 in Bandera, TX on Sovereignty Ranch.

Tickets here.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 228: The Foundation of Truths: Health, History, Religion with Dr Jordan Grant

If we want to find the truth in anything, we first need to know how truth, knowledge, and thought work.

Alec sits down with Dr. Jordan Grant, a board-certified urologist who left conventional practice to rethink health, knowledge, and belief. His medical background raises a deeper question: how do you know anything at all?

We break down why every claim to knowledge depends on unproven starting points. Most of what people call knowledge is closer to assumption than certainty. This shows up clearly in healthcare, where people are taught to trust experts without understanding how those conclusions are formed.

You’ll also hear how stepping away from traditional urology led to a more integrated approach that considers physical, mental, and spiritual health together.

Update. I am indeed interviewing Marjorie Taylor Greene in a couple of weeks (unfortunately virtually, not in studio…)

What would you like to see us discuss?
What themes? What questions do you have?

We’ve historically struggled to market Confluence…

How do you capture the feeling and experience of an event like this?

“Like-minded community”?
“Health & freedom”?
“A conference meets a music festival meets a farmers market meets a retreat”?

Nope. Still not it.

It used to frustrate us. But now, moving into our 4th edition, we’re already 90% sold out, and we were 60% sold out without even announcing a single speaker.


Words can’t describe this event.

Confluence isn’t something you understand by reading about it. It’s something you have to experience to know.

And the people who are meant to be there already feel that.

We’re trending towards over 1,000 people on site this year. If that’s you, we recommend hopping on tickets before we fully sell out.

For your situational awareness (a personal note):

Everyone and their mama is reaching out with last minute ideas and needs for confluence. We are expecting nearly 350-450 more people than we had last year.

Before sending me, Mike, Lindsay or Mollie a message (or any of our team for that matter), please consider that we are receiving a large number of requests, considerations, and questions. If it is something that you can honestly figure out through someone else, please contact them instead. If it is not a vital/essential idea for the event, please hold it for next year.

Thanks.

- Alec

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 229: Mercury, Fluoride & The FDA's Dirty Secret with Dr. Marc DiNola

We’ve been fed lies about our oral health.

Dr. Marc DiNola is a biological dentist who has spent more than three decades in clinical practice and over a decade focused on approaches that prioritize removing toxicity and addressing underlying causes. His background includes formal training at the University of Maryland and advanced study in masticatory diagnosis and treatment, along with ongoing work in dental ozone therapy and nutrition education.

This conversation reframes the mouth as part of a larger system rather than an isolated part of the body. Dental issues begin to look different when you consider nutrition, microbial balance, and the role of hidden infections that may not present with pain.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 230: Polarity Therapy, Dead Soil & Ayahuasca with Topher Gardner

Can biochar benefit your body and environment?

In this episode, Alec sits down with Topher Gardner for a deeper look at what’s really happening beneath the surface with biochar, and how his work with Black Gold BioChar has evolved from teaching people to build their own systems into producing something farmers and growers are actively using.

His background is anything but conventional, moving through dome building, massage therapy, and materials science, which gives him a unique lens on how structure, energy, and biology all intersect. That perspective shows up in the way he approaches regenerative agriculture and the role of carbon in living systems.
