Eric talks with Ian Huyett, a lobbyist and legal advocate working at the intersection of biotechnology, law, and public policy in New Hampshire. The discussion explores how the state is uniquely positioned to become a national leader in experimental biotech, thanks to its proximity to Boston, its flexible legal environment, and its culture of political innovation. Huyett breaks down the concept of “biotech freedom,” including right-to-try laws that allow patients greater access to experimental treatments while reducing regulatory barriers. The conversation also touches on the broader vision of building a thriving, competitive economy rooted in individual liberty and scientific advancement. Through both policy insight and big-picture thinking, the episode paints a compelling picture of New Hampshire as a potential hub for the next wave of medical innovation.
