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.

In this conversation, Rand Paul reflects on the ideas that first shaped his belief in liberty, growing up in a household where free markets, limited government, and constitutional thinking were part of everyday life. From the influence of Former Congressman Ron Paul to the writings of Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek, he explains why individual freedom remains at the center of his public life.

The conversation explores why Senator Paul believes America’s greatest long term threat comes from debt, unchecked federal spending, and a growing loss of confidence in free market economics. He also explains why he continues to stand apart from both parties when constitutional limits, war powers, and balanced budgets are at stake, even when that independence comes with political cost.

It is a conversation about courage, consistency, free markets, and why liberty requires leaders willing to stand firm when party pressure pushes the other direction.
