About Nxt Era

Who We Are

Nxt Era is more than a community—it’s a movement redefining what it means to raise and educate the next generation. We’re powered by families who choose purpose over passivity and take bold responsibility for shaping a better future for their children.

Our members don’t blindly follow outdated systems or conform to “the way it’s always been.” Instead, they lead with intention— grounded in strong family values, forward-thinking education, and a commitment to growth. At Nxt Era, we believe that when families lead with conviction, children thrive with confidence, clarity, and purpose.

Why do we do this

Homeschooling is much more than an educational choice. It’s a commitment to creating a better future. Now, more than ever, our country needs families who aren’t afraid to step up and lead their children.

“Strong families create strong communities. Strong communities create strong nations.”

My brother and I began Nxt Era because we know what it means to build a life from nothing but our values, work ethic, and the foundation our family gave us. Homeschooling taught us to think for ourselves, learn without limits, and step confidently into challenges—even when we had no experience.

When we started our business, we didn’t have a map or a safety net. We had to figure it out, communicate clearly, and hold ourselves to a high standard, no matter what. We believe strong families build strong communities, and those communities shape strong nations.

We do this to give other families the tools to raise kids who are healthy, confident, capable, and ready for real life. Our mission is to help families create opportunity, lead with purpose, and build the life they want.

I went from chasing a college baseball dream to launching a business with my brother in an industry we knew nothing about. Homeschooling gave me the freedom to pursue my passions, master time management, and learn how to lead myself—lessons no traditional school ever taught me. It showed me that the only limits in life are the ones we place on ourselves.

I believe anyone with the desire can succeed in this lifestyle. We’re here to offer everything we wish we had—real guidance, honest support, and a community that values freedom. You may not share all of our values, but if you believe in raising good humans and building a life through hard work and capitalism, I’ll do whatever I can to help your family win.

Joseph Carnicella

Co-Founder

I was homeschooled my entire life and it was an experience that allowed me to pursue my passion for baseball and personal growth—opportunities for which I am forever grateful. Growing up, I had the freedom to learn and develop in a supportive environment, one that balanced challenging academics with preparation for real-world success.

Being homeschooled laid the foundation for me to launch my entrepreneurial journey, and just two years after high school, I established Demboys Marine, a marine detailing company that now serves over 650 active customers. I credit much of my success to homeschooling, which instilled in me the confidence, discipline, and adaptability required to thrive in business. My mission is to help others achieve success and take it even further by ensuring financial freedom for the next generation.
