Próspera and the Quest to Unleash Human Potential in Honduras, with Virginia Mann

Join me in a simultaneously hopeful and outrageous conversation with my guest, Virginia Mann, a Honduran resident and employee of the startup city Próspera in the special economic zone (Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico—ZEDEs) of Roatán, Honduras. You are going to learn Virginia’s life’s story as well as the history of her homeland, its residents, and the arrival of Próspera, the company that is changing the lives of hundreds of people in Honduras for the better—and is under attack for doing it. This is not a unique Central American tale. It is also very similar to the stories of many African lands. That is why this episode is so personal to me. Below are the two negative articles about Próspera mentioned in the interview: - Democracy Now piece: https://democracynow.org/2023/6/28/honduras_private_charter_cities - Rest of World piece: https://restofworld.org/2021/honduran-islanders-push-back-libertarian-startup/

And here are two other articles to balance with the ones above:
