It's a new era for my YouTube channel! I now livestream! And I take live calls!

Currently I livestream at least twice a week, usually on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The exact time varies, but if you subscribe to my channel and click the bell for notifications, you should get a notification at least 30 minutes before I go live.

Calls are via Zoom—a link to the Zoom call is pinned in the chat at the start of each show.

To see my past livestreams, click the "Live" tab on my YouTube channel. And see the video descriptions for lists of topics along with timestamps.

I'm excited to have this new way to engage with people as I promote Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism, a philosophy of reason, egoism, and capitalism.

Hope to see you in a future livestream!
