  • The Quiet Revolution No One Sees Coming
    https://libertyspenders.com/ We all remember what it felt like during lockdowns — the masks, the mandates, the ridiculous rules that changed every week. But what hit me hardest was the day I stopped at a country bakery on my motorbike ride. I just wanted to grab a bite to eat, and a 15-year-old girl behind the counter told me I needed to wear a mask. Think about that — a teenager, paid a few bucks an hour to serve pies and coffee, suddenly forced to become the health police. She wasn’t paid to do that. She was coerced — just like every other small business in the country. During those years, local business became the gatekeepers for government policy — unpaid, unwilling, and often unknowingly enforcing something they didn’t believe in. And the threat of fines, shutdowns, and loss of income kept them silent. Let’s be honest: apart from the big corporates, most small businesses in Australia suffered terribly through that time. Many didn’t make it. But what if business could become the vehicle for change? What if those same small businesses that were coerced last time… became the united front that said, “Never again.” In this episode of The Uncoercible Family podcast, we’re talking with Liberty Spenders — a group out of the US who’ve identified a $5 trillion market of faith-based, conservative, freedom-loving consumers who are done supporting woke corporations. It’s the biggest niche market in modern history — and the greatest opportunity for small and medium businesses to align their values with their customers and prosper because of it. Imagine if, instead of being bullied into compliance, Aussie businesses banded together and became a powerful movement for freedom — a marketplace built on integrity, courage, and truth. Even if you’re not in business yourself, please share this episode. Because this — this could be the one line of defence that no one has talked about yet. The big shift we are all praying for in our country may not come from politics… it may come from business owners who choose to stand together. All the best Adam Gibson Founder, Parents With Questions Host, The Uncoercible Family

  • Turn Kid's Pocket Money into Precious Metal
    What if your kids’ pocket money actually grew in value instead of disappearing on snacks and apps? That question hit me a few years ago — and led to a simple idea that’s now changing how Aussie families think about saving. I started paying my kids in real silver bullion coins for their chores and pocket money. Back then, silver was around $35–$40 an ounce. They tucked those coins into a money box… and a year later, those same coins were worth over $80 each — without lifting a finger. That’s when Silverstash was born — a simple way for families to help their kids start saving in real silver, not just numbers on a screen. In this episode, I sat down with PWQ parents James and Sarah Cervone who are now co-founders of Silverstash. They share - Why silver remains one of the most reliable forms of long-term value The pitfalls of buying silver in bulk (and how to avoid them) What it’s really like helping kids or grandkids build a monthly silver stash How Silverstash offers an easy, affordable way to have genuine 1oz silver coins delivered to your door each month and start your kids on their own wealth-building journey — for less than the cost of a coffee a day.

  • mRNA in Meat? Glyphosate in Veggies? How One Aussie Farmer Is Helping Families Take Back Control
    If you’ve ever looked at your grocery bill and thought, “Something’s not right here,” you’re not alone. Food prices have exploded, supermarket shelves are full of products we can’t pronounce, and the chemical load in our food system has quietly reached record levels. Now, with talk of mRNA vaccines entering the livestock supply, the need for families to reclaim their food sovereignty has never been greater. This week on the Parents With Questions / Uncoercible Family Podcast, I sit down with Jason Ryan, founder of Hillview Farms — a former corporate executive turned regenerative farmer — who’s proving that clean, ethical, local food is still possible when consumers and farmers reconnect. Before that, I share some difficult news in the podcast introduction about one of our Family Farm projects at Cambroon on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Despite being much loved by co-owners and well on the way to full production, the farm has been been undermined from within by a small group of individuals, resulting in its liquidation. It’s a heartbreaking loss, but also a wake-up call: the vision remains sound, the need remains urgent, and people like Jason are showing us a better way forward. In this powerful conversation, we unpack: - Why grass-fed beef is nutritionally and ethically superior to feedlot meat. - The hidden dangers of GMO crops, glyphosate, and synthetic farm chemicals. - The looming concern over mRNA technology in livestock — and how your family can avoid it. - How shorter supply chains mean fresher, safer, more affordable food. - The rise of local co-ops, farmers markets, and small-town grocers rebuilding real community resilience. Jason also reveals Hillview’s next big step — a community crowdfunding offer via Birchal.com to expand their retail hubs, delivery network, and even build eco-farm stays where families can see, touch, and taste where their food comes from. As Jason puts it: “Ditch the supermarkets. Buy from your local butcher, fruit and veg shop, or direct from the farm. It’s the simplest form of activism—and it might just save our health, our farmers, and our future.” Adam Gibson Founder — Parents With Questions Host -  The Uncoercible Family podcast To learn more about ordering food through Hillview Farms, go to: www.hillviewfarms.com.au To learn more about the Hillview Farms investment offer, go to: https://www.birchal.com/company/hillview-farms

  • Raising Emotionally Intelligent Kids in a Post-COVID, Digital World — Part 2 with Ros Nealon-Cook
    This is Part Two of a deeply important conversation with Ros Nealon-Cook, ex-psychologist and fearless advocate for children’s mental health. In this wide-ranging episode, we dive into the foundations of emotional wellbeing — the stuff that’s so basic we often overlook it: sleep, movement, nutrition, play, laughter, and connection. Ros unpacks how these simple daily habits build true resilience and mental strength in our kids. She then introduces a practical emotional education framework known as the Zones of Regulation, helping parents and children alike tune into emotions, triggers, and stress in a language that’s simple, non-judgmental, and actually works at home. We also explore how families can begin healing the hidden trauma and division left over from the COVID years — a conversation that’s long overdue — and why processing collective shame and grief is key to moving forward. Other topics include: - How to raise courageous, emotionally literate kids in an age of fear and censorship - Ways to engage doctors and medical professionals and rebuild trust without blame or bitterness - The technology tsunami shaping our kids’ brains — plus real, workable family tech contracts to help your kids self-regulate their screen-time - The confronting reality of pornography’s impact on adolescent boys — and a surprising take on how to best address it positively Ros brings both compassion and clarity to one of the biggest issues facing parents today. This episode finishes on a note of hope, creativity, and practical optimism for rebuilding our kids’ emotional worlds — and our society — from the inside out.
