Ricardo’s Time was launched in 2020 by the young Peruvian student, Ricardo Ibañez. As a teenager, having grown up in a culture dominated by collectivism in general and Catholicism in particular, Ricardo started questioning these norms and began searching YouTube for alternative philosophies. There he found videos of Ayn Rand explaining her philosophy. The clarity and precision of her words appealed to him immediately and inspired him to study Objectivism.
Ricardo soon launched Ricardo’s Time, a video-podcast dedicated to raising awareness of Rand’s ideas, the nature and importance of Objectivism, and how its principles apply to everyday life. Since its inception, Ricardo’s Time has published forty videos discussing Objectivism with various Objectivists (both Spanish and English speakers).
In November 2021, Ricardo launched the first ever John Galt School in Latin America with 27 participants. He will continue the John Galt Schools in Peru and expand it to other Latin American countries in 2022.
