The Tuttle Twins Creator on Saving America at the Dinner Table","description":"What if the future of our country doesn\u2019t hinge on elections, courtrooms, or political battles\u2014but on family dinner conversations? That\u2019s exactly the vision today\u2019s guest, Connor Boyack, shares with us. Connor is the bestselling author of over 50 books, including the wildly popular Tuttle Twins series, which has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. He\u2019s also the founder of Libertas Network, a think tank and collection of family-centered initiatives that have changed over 100 laws and empowered kids and parents around the globe. From teaching free-market principles to launching kids\u2019 entrepreneur markets, Connor is passionate about helping families raise critical thinkers and problem solvers. In our conversation, Connor shares how his journey\u2014from web developer to outlaw beekeeper to social entrepreneur\u2014unfolded step by step through what he calls \u201cthe adjacent possible.\u201d We talk about why most adults underestimate kids\u2019 capacity for deep conversations, how parents can break free from simply outsourcing education, and why intentionality is the key to raising thriving children. We also explore entrepreneurship for kids, why college isn\u2019t always the right answer, and how his programs like Praxis are creating debt-free pathways to meaningful careers. Most importantly, Connor reminds us that transformation doesn\u2019t start in Washington\u2014it starts in the home. Strong families create strong communities, and strong communities create a strong nation. This is a powerful and practical conversation that will inspire you to invest in your family as intentionally as you do your business or health. Whether you\u2019re a parent, entrepreneur, or educator, Connor\u2019s message is clear: the family is where the real work of building a freer future begins.
