Thank you for listening to this edition of the Profectus Interview. A project of the Archbridge Institute, Profectus Magazine is dedicated to kickstarting a cultural conversation around the key drivers of human flourishing, progress and the barriers that prevent individuals from reaching their full potential. I'm Ben Wilterdink, and for this interview my co-editor, Clay Routledge and I are joined by John Tillman. John is CEO of the American Culture Project and chair of the Illinois Policy Institute, which, under his leadership between 2007 and 2021 became one of the most influential state think tanks in the country. John has founded and chairs numerous other enterprises within the liberty space, such as the Liberty Justice Center, Iron Light, and the Franklin News Foundation.
