Ross Perot Jr. is a businessman, entrepreneur, aviation pioneer, real estate developer, and Chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In this wide-ranging conversation, Ross shares why he remains deeply optimistic about the future of American business and the power of free enterprise—even as the country faces challenges around China, immigration, political division, and the rise of AI.

Ross also takes us inside the remarkable Perot family story, from watching his father build EDS in their living room to flying a helicopter around the world and helping transform thousands of acres north of Fort Worth into AllianceTexas. Along the way, he shares lessons on leadership, integrity, public-private partnerships, entrepreneurship, patriotism, and why the next generation has an opportunity to build things even bigger than the generation before them.
