Episode 89: Why Ayn Rand Matters Today with Tal Tsfany

Guest(s): Tal Tsfany

Many of us have read Ayn Rand’s novels especially, “Atlas Shrugged” and the “Fountainhead.” But I have been surprised to learn how her ideas and philosophy have continued to resonate throughout the world many years after her novels were first published.   To learn more about this I asked Tal Tsfany, President and CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute to come on the show to talk about the Ayn Rand phenomena.   Mr. Tsfany has a great personal story having been an software entrepreneur, investor and executive in both Israel and the United States.  In a fascinating conversation we talk both about Ayn Rand’s ideas and Tal’s personal journey toward her philosophy.
