Who We Are

The Defenders of Capitalism Project™ is a for-profit organization committed to educating producers, leaders and achievers about capitalism and why we need to defend and champion the only moral socio-economic system in history.

What Your Peers are Saying

“I had the honor of earning the first Defenders of Capitalism Award and the opportunity to be a judge on subsequent panels. It is a crucial part of the entire LPR experience and it’s only gotten better. As an entrepreneur, I’ve seen firsthand how bureaucrats, politicians and judges – who’ve often never read the constitution they swear to uphold – are ruining this country. Mike and I had a common language, both having gone through Strategic Coach Program and it’s fantastic how he and Shari are using material from Ayn Rand, Dan Sullivan, the Austrians and the Founders to educate a whole new generation of leaders in Colorado, and now Connecticut. In 2020, it’s clear to me that we desperately need more programs like Defenders of Capitalism and LPR.”
