About Fountainhead Forum

From the publisher's feed

The Fountainhead Forum is a show dedicated to discussing many important topics that are key to living a great life. This includes libertarian politics, the values of the Enlightenment, and self-improvement. I may not endorse or agree with every guest on the Forum. However, I do attempt to bring on people who are sincerely looking for understanding and knowledge. This may include guests whose values seem to be polar opposites on the outside, but are very much alike on the inside.
