Former Senator Conrad Appel Reveals What's Really Holding Louisiana Back

Is Louisiana having the wrong conversation about economic growth? Former State Senator and BESE Board Member Conrad Appel joins Moon Griffon for a candid discussion on why New Orleans—and Louisiana as a whole—have struggled to attract jobs, businesses, and investment for decades. Appel explains how the state lost major corporate headquarters, why tourism can't carry the economy alone, and what leaders must do to reverse years of economic decline. From data centers and infrastructure to business-friendly policies and long-term vision, this is an eye-opening conversation about Louisiana's future and the bold changes needed to compete.
