Atlas Network Podcast host Michael Carnuccio interviews Casey Given, executive director of Young Voices, about strengthening the freedom movement through talent development and communications. Given argues the movement has many entry points but needs better career shepherding, and explains Young Voices’ day-to-day work as a nonprofit talent agency and PR firm that edits and pitches op-eds, books broadcast interviews, runs fellowships and events, and operates the Dissident Project speakers bureau. He describes recruiting and coaching classical liberal communicators, balancing ideological consistency with persuasive, nonpartisan mainstream outreach, and building editor relationships through consistent pitching, coffees, and salon dinners. Given shares Daniel DiMartino’s rise from Young Voices contributor to prominent Venezuela commentator, defends Young Voices’ funding diversity and editorial independence, and credits Atlas Network training and networking for Young Voices’ growth, including European communications training and connecting Spanish-language talent for Ecuador commentary.
