The American Dream is a Terrible Thing to Waste with Francisco Gonzalez

Join the #McConnellCenter as we host Francisco Gonzales to deliver a lecture titled "The American Dream is a Terrible Thing to Waste - Entrepreneurs and Being Fearless in Today's Economy." Francisco Gonzalez is the founder and CEO of Fearless Journeys. As host of the Agents of Innovation podcast since 2015, Francisco has had engaging conversations with over 130 entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and artists. He is passionate about connecting people with role models, mentors, and stories of entrepreneurial journeys to learn from. Mr. Gonzales, author of The American Dream is a Terrible Thing to Waste, speaks as part of the "Tocqueville's America - and Ours" series.  Long considered a classic consideration of the origins, evolution, and future of democratic self-governance in America, we seek to read, understand, and examine Tocqueville's analysis and its implications for the United States today.
