I’ve won awards, spoken on a lot of stages, and many people have said nice things about me. But I take the most pride in the personal impact my work has on others—the child who learns how the world really works through our Tuttle Twins books; the elderly woman whose medicine is no longer banned; the ex-convict whose life is no longer ruined by the government for years after release; or the hustling teenager who launches their entrepreneurial venture at one of our markets.
I’m addicted to changing the world for the better, one life at a time. I primarily do that through the non-profit I founded, Libertas Institute—one of the country’s most impactful think tanks that helps reform policies in my home state and across the nation.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
I founded Libertas Institute in 2011 and it has since grown to become a high-impact organization working across the country to help elected officials shrink the size and scope of the government. We’ve won many awards for our innovative work, including being the only group in the country to win State Policy Network’s “Biggest Victory for Freedom” award twice.
I've created a team that supports my goal of improving the world by changing hearts, minds, and laws. Our high-impact work is making a difference in six primary ways:
We’ve changed over 100 laws in Utah, several of them the first of their kind in the entire country.
We partner with organizations across the country to replicate our unique policy reforms in their state.
Our flagship Tuttle Twins children’s book series has sold over 5 million copies and is now a cartoon!
We have pursued successful litigation against the state to hold the government accountable.
We operate a series of markets for kids to learn about business through firsthand experience.
To change hearts and minds, we launch large public campaigns to shift people’s opinions.
I’m the author of 42 books that have sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
I love connecting with audiences large and small to share inspiring stories, impactful strategies, and innovative approaches to changing the world.
