Ayn Rand Hero: Jennifer Grossman – CEO Atlas Society Social Strategy - a podcast by Mark Michael Lewis

Join Mark Michael Lewis and the CEO of The Atlas Society Jennifer Anju Grossman as they talk about how to bring the ideas of Ayn Rand to the wider culture – especially our youth. We especially discuss her thinking behind her provocative choice to write an op ed in The New York Times about how people can BOTH love Ayn Rand AND love God. Learn why Jennifer says, “I don’t think that the problem is not that we don’t have enough philosophically pure Objectivists in the world. The problem is that we don’t have enough people reading Ayn Rand.”
