In today’s episode, we get to spend time with Dan Hill from Utah. Dan is a homeschool father of three sons, 3D animator, artist, a multifaceted educator, musician, and entrepreneur. Dan describes his “Forrest Gump”-like meandering and falling into several unlikely situations, where he was discovered by a specific school official and told he had a natural gift for teaching. Eventually, Dan started an after-school program that became Dan’s business, Paper Plane Learning. A homeschool mother encouraged Dan to reach out to the homeschool community to make them aware of his classes. Now, 80% of Dan’s students are homeschooled, and Dan ended up homeschooling his three sons for a time. This episode highlights the advantages of homeschooling, the importance of early reading, and the innovative methods Dan uses to teach 3D animation, art, piano, and more to children around the globe.
