“Experience is earned—and meant to be shared.”
In this episode of Libertarian Leadership Academy, veteran candidate Joe Hannoush speaks with C. Michael Pickens about why mistakes are a natural—and valuable—part of running for office. They emphasize the importance of learning from others, finding mentors, and not being discouraged by multiple runs. Every campaign builds skills, confidence, and knowledge that can be passed on to future candidates. The message is clear: growth doesn’t stop with one race, and mentoring the next wave of Libertarian leaders is how the movement wins.
