Published: July 4, 2016, 3:27 a.m.

b'If you haven\\u2019t heard about Jeffrey Tucker then you are missing out. He\\u2019s a force for liberty like you\\u2019ve never seen before. He\\u2019s written 1000\\u2019s of articles, been interviewed and published by the largest outlets, created a social platform for a liberty-based community and continues to educate the world on crypto-currencies like Bitcoin. \\n\\nI first learned about him in 2008 while regularly watching various lectures on Mises.org. His charisma, energy and perspective always struck me as unique\\u2026.as unique as his bow ties. The guy is always dressed to impress and his knowledge is the same. \\n\\nThe thing that struck me was his constant perspective of how wonderful the world actually is. From smart phones, varieties of food, conveniences of the internet and level of creature comforts never experienced before. This is definitely the best time to be alive.\\n\\nSure, there\\u2019s crappy situations in the world that we should be aware of, but Jeffrey brings a perspective that consistently appreciates the beauty of the Free Market and voluntary action. \\n\\nWe dive into an array of topics including his first entrepreneurial experiences (as a child) to quitting the Mises Institute and building the world\\u2019s first liberty-oriented social platform, Liberty.me. You don\\u2019t want to miss why Jeffrey decided to jump into a ~30F degree lake to raise funds by crowdfunding.\\n\\nOne main discussion is why \\u201clibertarians\\u201d tend to only remain in the theoretical world instead of putting their knowledge into ACTION and becoming an entrepreneur. \\n\\nWe end the show by talking about the effectiveness of Ron Paul\\u2019s political \\u201cR3volution\\u201d and the effect of Ayn Rand\\u2019s ideas of the capitalist\\u2019s role in the fight for freedom. \\n\\nI\\u2019ve included the \\u201cfreezing lake\\u201d video referenced in the interview as well as links to his books which I HIGHLY recommend. He has such an interesting perspective based in peace, liberty and entrepreneurship.\\n\\nI know that you\\u2019ll enjoy this interview and please Like, Comment and Share! \\n\\nIn Liberty,\\nAshe\\n\\nCrowd Funding \\u201cLake\\u201d video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0lBr3Na4mI\\n\\nContact Info: \\nPublishing site: tucker.liberty.me\\nEmail: tucker@liberty.me\\nTwitter: JeffreyATucker\\nFB Official: jeffreytucker.official'
