Building Liberty Through Business: Alexander McCobin on Capitalism, Entrepreneurship, and the Future of Freedom In this episode of Voices of Liberty, host Sean Themea sits down with Alexander McCobin, CEO and founder of Liberty Ventures Network, former CEO of Conscious Capitalism, and founder of Students for Liberty. Alexander shares the story of his “liberty light bulb” moment, sparked at age 14 after reading Atlas Shrugged. What began as a fascination with philosophy evolved into a lifelong mission to turn ideas into action. From launching student movements to leading boardrooms filled with seasoned CEOs, Alexander has dedicated his career to advancing liberty. The conversation explores: How entrepreneurship and capitalism connect to human flourishing The challenges of leading mission-driven organizations under pressure Why building the right team matters more than having the perfect plan How to defend capitalism from attacks on both the political left and right Why business leaders must play a central role in preserving liberty Alexander argues that the future of liberty will not be predicted; it will be built. And the builders are entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders willing to take responsibility for shaping the culture and economy.
