Meet the 27 new Principled Business Ambassadors
Last Friday, November 8, we were thrilled to kick off the half-day training for our Principled Business Program! This exciting session marked the beginning of a journey dedicated to cultivating principled, purpose-driven leaders who advocate for responsible capitalism and liberty-based values.
Our program brings together ambassadors from diverse backgrounds, all united by a shared mission to create positive change through ethical business practices. We are excited to support these leaders in developing their skills, growing their networks, and making a lasting impact on society.

Testimonials from Our Ambassadors
To give you an inside look at what drives our ambassadors, we’ve gathered testimonials from some of our program participants. Each one shares a unique perspective on the impact of principled business practices and the power of capitalism to bring about meaningful change. Here’s what they had to say:
Dustin Palmer: Capitalism ultimately is a voluntary exchange of products and services, and the idea that it is voluntary is key. Capitalism today is different from what I believe to be capitalism tomorrow. Today still seems to be an environment of Buy Low Sell High. While this is one fundamental principle of capitalism to make a profit, it can be so much more. Capitalism is a tool for human and societal advancement, and it can be used to solve our world’s most pressing problems, or maybe something small, local, and personal. It can lift a person, family, or community out of poverty. It can solve issues pertaining to our climate. It can, from the example of Whole Foods, change the way we all eat for a better healthier life. It can offer a person an avenue to express their purpose and WHY. And I believe this is just the start. I am a conscious capitalist. I am waiting for the day that conscious capitalism is simply known as capitalism and the practices lead by a principled movement like PB, simply is the standard. That’s what I’m looking forward to and hope to contribute to the movement of advancing capitalism.”
Julio Clavijo: “I am interested in becoming a Principled Business Ambassador because I am passionate about promoting economic freedom, personal responsibility, and ethical business practices. Being part of a network that champions these values aligns with my belief that businesses can be a powerful force for positive change when they operate with integrity and respect for individual freedom. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals and contribute to initiatives that help entrepreneurs and organizations thrive while upholding principles that benefit society at large.”
Adam Karl: “Capitalism is the single most influential force in improving quality of life in human history. Capitalism via free trade and enterprise has lifted billions from poverty, creating better jobs and improving lives worldwide. By enabling individuals to pursue their interests in an open market, capitalism fuels wealth creation and innovation, driving companies to offer better, more affordable products. The benefits are clear: free markets have increased access to essential resources, healthcare, and nutritious food, reducing mortality rates and improving health. Today, even those born into poverty enjoy greater longevity and access to technology. This freedom of choice empowers individuals and fosters the most prosperous economy possible.”
Gabriel Grilli: “I've been working as a volunteer in liberty-minded nonprofits since I was 16. Through this experience, I've had the opportunity to connect with amazing people from all over the world who have significantly contributed to my journey. I believe I will continue to draw inspiration from these connections. I've always wanted to work in a role related to business within nonprofits. Coming from a business-oriented family and having my own academic business group, I see this as a natural fit. Working with principled businesses and like-minded individuals would be a pivotal moment in my life, impacting my academic, professional, and personal growth within the business world.”
Thank you for helping advance the liberty movement through principled business. Stay tuned for more updates and ways to support our mission!
