Dr. Asmus
Freedom: Still America
The most vital force of our country has been freedom. Freedom unleashes more energy and genius than any alternative. America, the biggest island of freedom in the world, has always been the place people run to when, in hope or hopelessness, they are running from somewhere else. When freedom proceeds, prosperity follows. When freedom leads, the mutually beneficial exchange of capitalism moves nations forward. Dr. Asmus makes a compelling case for why America produces nearly a third of the world

"I've never heard a speaker who could combine today's news, with yesterday's lessons, and tomorrow — Steve Powers, Senior Vice President, American Express
"Dear Barry, I have been in the association/meeting planning business for over 20 years. Every so often, I am lucky enough to find the absolute perfect match between speaker and audience. Such was the case last week at NCRA's Firm Owners Executive Conference. You delivered exactly as promised, an upbeat, motivational presentation with relevant content and great humor." — Sue Wolk, Senior Director, NCRA
"It is unlikely we will have a speaker this dynamic for a long time. His use of humor to illustrate complex economic principles in terms we mere mortals can understand was brilliant. I also thought the Omaha presenters did a great job in moving the program along at a good pace. I would rate this year a 6 on a scale of 5." — Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce
"We have been putting this meeting on for a number of years and had numerous speakers. In all those years, I have never had so many people come up to me and tell me what an incredible speaker we had. Virtually everyone I came in contact with made it a point to tell me this." — Cardinal Health
