SPEAKERS

Scott Lindberg is a freedom-loving entrepreneur, author, and game designer. He is a proponent of finding freedom by taking self-custody of education, money and speech. He and his wife, Tali, co-founded Free Market Kids. Their passion is to give the next generation the knowledge and tools to maximize their chances for freedom, success and happiness. Free Market Kids makes it easy and fun to introduce money concepts to kids through tabletop games, courses, lesson plans and trusted resources. They are best known for HODL UP™, a Bitcoin mining game. Scott graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Systems Engineering. In 2001, he graduated Yale’s School of Management with a Master of Business Administration. Today, Scott’s concept of taking action and serving others has crystalized. He cares deeply about individual freedoms, the Constitution protecting those freedoms, and free markets. We owe it to those who have served, ourselves, and the next generation to preserve these ideals. Gone is the expectation that others will do the right thing. In fact, it is even worse. Bad actors are attacking our freedoms, internally and externally. Why games? In the permissionless ethos of Bitcoin, you don’t need anyone’s permission to have fun teaching Bitcoin! Scott loves games, so it was natural to incorporate them into their homeschooling curriculum. Tabletop games rank higher on the education effectiveness pyramid than traditional learning methods. Games offer fellowship while taking a break from ever-present screen time temptations. In short, games are a creative – and fun – way to boost learning for everyone, not just kids.
