In this episode of Voices of Liberty, host Sean Themea sits down with Hannah Cox, a leading voice in the liberty movement, to explore her unexpected journey into activism, public policy, and cultural commentary.

Hannah shares how dissatisfaction with the music industry led her to question government power, discover the writings of Frédéric Bastiat, and rethink widely accepted assumptions about capitalism and public policy. Reading The Law became a turning point, introducing her to the concept of unintended consequences and influencing how she evaluates government intervention and economic systems.

The conversation dives into the challenges of entering the liberty movement, maintaining principles in an evolving political landscape, and navigating the pressures of partisanship, social media, and modern political activism. Hannah also discusses how authenticity, community-building, and new media have allowed her to change minds on controversial issues and foster critical thinking, even when it comes at a personal or professional cost.

This episode offers a candid look at how liberty ideas spread today, why capitalism is often misunderstood, and how grassroots voices can impact the future of liberty in America.
