military brats

AEM #75 Nicky Moxey– ACES, Boarding School 

What are third culture kids? And what about military brats? 

And how does that link to boarding schools? 

Today I am speaking with author, Nicky Moxey about what third culture kids are. 

Nicky grew up in Africa but was sent to boarding school in the UK. 

She talks about the three different types of third culture kid - military, mercantile and missionary.

What is the difference between the three and why do third culture kids seem to struggle the most at boarding school?

Tony Edmonds is my little brother of 3 siblings.  He recently jumped on the entrepreneur ship and I thought this was a good time to talk about his business, about being military brats and to ask a few questions that don't pertain to anything but having fun. Tony's business will help athletes in public schools get exposure to all the right people in sports in a post-COVID world.
