In 2026, the power of education is shifting back to the family. With the expansion of School Choice and Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs), parents are no longer locked into a system that isn't working- they are finally getting the funds to anchor their children in a model that actually fits. Today, MacKenzie sits down with an incredible nurse and mom of 5 who was frustrated with the traditional public school experience. She’s sharing her journey of ditching the "factory model" to build a custom, mastery-based education through one of our schools, GT Anywhere. We break down the "cheat code" for families: How to use Educational Savings Account funds to access a $10,000 elite academic platform for free. Whether you’re looking for the Texas Sports Academy to fund an athlete’s training or GT School for a gifted learner, this episode is a primer for navigating the new landscape of School Choice.
