  1. #242: Milo Miller: Out of the Amish Life | A Journey to Freedom and the Modern World Jackson Huff 53:28

This week, I’m sitting down with Milo Miller, who grew up inside the world of the Amish, a community known for its deep traditions, strict rules, and rejection of modern conveniences. Milo shares what life was really like behind the horse and buggy, from daily routines to belief systems, and why he ultimately made the life-changing decision to leave it all behind.

In this episode, we dive into:

• What it’s really like growing up Amish, a look beyond the stereotypes

• The beliefs, rules, and cultural traditions that shaped his childhood

• How Milo made the difficult decision to leave the only life he knew

• His viral social media presence, sharing stories and insights about the Amish

• The surprising skills and lessons he still carries with him today

• What outsiders often misunderstand about Amish communities

Milo’s story is honest, eye-opening, and a reminder that breaking free isn’t easy, but it can lead to a life of self-discovery and connection.

I am in admissions and advising by profession where I speak with students every day about their future and goals. I have spent a decade learning peoples life stories and what makes them tick. So, a few years ago I decided to take that passion for people and make a podcast. Through this I have been able to speak with a lot of amazing people. People like Bob Eubanks (The Newlywed Game), Daphne Maxwell Reid (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), Maddie Musselman (2x Olympic Gold Medalist), Francois Clemmons (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), and countless others.
