What Freedom Really Looks Like: Atlas Network’s Brad Lips on Global Impact, Legacy & Leading with Joy

Welcome to a brand new way to connect with Atlas Network and the individuals and organizations that power our mission to build a freer world. Our Atlas Network with Michael Carnuccio podcast will give you an inside look at the worldwide freedom movement, in-depth updates from Atlas Network partner organizations, and insights from the leaders that make it all happen.

What does it really mean to lead a worldwide freedom movement? In this powerful premiere episode of Atlas Network, podcast host Michael Carnuccio sits down with Atlas Network CEO Brad Lips to explore how one organization is empowering local leaders across 100+ countries to fight poverty, dismantle corruption, and defend liberty.

Brad shares stories that will stay with you: from Indian street vendors whose businesses are limited to the size of a blanket, to North Korean refugees turned human rights advocates, to Atlas Network partners jailed for standing up for freedom. He also opens up about his journey from Wall Street to purpose-driven leadership, the business model that powers Atlas Network, and what legacy really means when the mission is liberty for all.

If you're passionate about bottom-up change, principled leadership, and building a more free and hopeful world—this is the episode to start with.
