## Resource

Welcome back to Voices of Liberty, powered by Young Americans for Liberty, with host Sean Themea. Jay Lapeyre has spent decades building in business while also helping shape some of the most important liberty institutions in the country. As a business leader in New Orleans and board chair of both the Cato Institute and the Atlas Society, he has long believed that freedom depends not only on sound policy, but also on serious thinking and civil conversation. In this conversation, Sean and Jay discuss the books and ideas that first changed Jay’s worldview, how liberty shaped the way he leads in business and life, and why his work with the Free Society Coalition is focused on helping Americans find common ground without surrendering principle.
