PODCAST 1

Andrew Caleb Doughty

Andrew Caleb Doughty is an artist whose mission in life is to figure out how to live in the world without being part of it.

Born and raised in Canada, he has lived in 4 Canadian provinces, 5 different US states, Brazil and he now lives in Mexico.

He was raised in a religious home which shaped his identity for the first 40 years of his life.

He earned a masters degree in Educational Leadership and Administration from Cairn University in Pennsylvania in 2001. He worked as a school teacher and administrator for a decade at three different schools in three different countries.

Upon leaving the private school scene, he worked at a church with his brother, but after five years there he saw that even the best-intentioned churches were just businesses and he turned his back on the church and religion to seek truth wherever he could find it.

He used his creativity and passion to test banks and governments to see where real power lies, and he found that true power exists in the will of a man or woman who knows who they are and who refuses to allow anyone else to hijack their purpose. He created a coaching program to help Canadians and Americans with credit card debts, using the knowledge he acquired, through his website, MyDebtRemedy.ca

He has been married and divorced with three adult daughters. He is currently in a committed relationship with a Mexican woman whom he calls his wife.

Artistically, Andrew satisfies his itch to create through graphic art, video editing, making music mashups, and occasionally writing books. He still plays hockey, his life-long sports passion.

He's on a quest to discover how to manifest jumping timelines to where he speaks Spanish as well as he speaks English. He's also actively learning about trusts and serving as a trustee.

Andrew can be reached by phone at 1-289-989-1559 or by email at plenipotentiary@post.com

SHOW NOTES AND REFERENCES:

1. Caleb's New Book: The Missing Curriculum: 50 Things You Should've Learned In School, But Didn't | 639 Pages Paperback – April 5, 2026 

Available On Amazon

Your child will spend twelve or more years in school. They will learn algebra, the water cycle, and the dates of wars. They will not learn how money actually works. They will not learn how to negotiate a contract or recognize when they are being manipulated. They will not learn how to create strategic relationships, how to deal with police, or how to find work that is worth doing.

That is not an accident. It is a gap. Most parents can feel it long before they can name it. The Missing Curriculum addresses those gaps.

Andrew Caleb Doughty spent over two decades inside private schools across three countries — teaching, administering, and watching closely. He watched exceptional students graduate fully prepared for the system that schooled them, and almost entirely unprepared for the life that followed. He sat with students in Brazil who asked him, point-blank, why they should study — a question he could not fully answer in the moment, and spent years answering since.

He is also a parent whose daughters attended the schools where he worked. That gave him both sides of the gap at the same time: he could see exactly what the curriculum was and wasn't covering, and he was simultaneously figuring out how to fill those gaps for his own children. Much of what is in this book was worked out in real time, in his own family, as he was discovering the gaps even existed.

He wrote this book because he lived it — as an educator, as a parent, and as someone who had to figure out for himself what financial sovereignty, legal literacy, and genuine independence actually require. The stories woven through every chapter are real. They are not illustrations of the concepts. They are the concepts.

This book gives you:

Financial literacy that produces freedom, not just stability

Communication skills that work under pressure

Relationship intelligence

Emotional mastery

A framework for work that is worth doing

Critical thinking as a survival skill

A developmental roadmap


Who this book is for

It's for the new parent who wants better for their child than they had, but doesn't know where to start.

It's for the adult in their thirties or forties who learned through painful experience what this book would have told them in their teens — and who is determined that their children will not have to learn the same things the same way.

It's for anyone who has ever sensed the gap between what school prepared them for and what life actually required — and wanted to name it precisely enough to do something about it.


What makes The Missing Curriculum different

Most books on parenting and education tell you what to value. This one shows you what to teach, when to teach it, and how to open the conversation. When you see the what, the when, and the how explained in detail, you'll find yourself nodding — because none of this will feel surprising. It will feel overdue.

Every framework is traceable to its source. I am not asking you to take my word for it. I am pointing you toward the researchers and thinkers who did the original work, with enough context to understand why it matters for your child specifically.

Parts of this book will be unfamiliar. Some of it goes further than most parenting books are willing to go — into sovereignty, legal literacy, the mechanics of power, and what it actually takes to raise a child who can navigate the world rather than simply comply with it. The comfortable version of this material already exists.

This is the complete version.

The concepts in this book are learnable and teachable. The window to teach them is finite. The Missing Curriculum gives you the map, the sequence, and the conversations — everything you need to make sure the window doesn't close before you've used it.
