In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Emily Seidel, CEO of Americans for Prosperity, live from Philadelphia as the America 250 celebrations begin. Together, they reflect on the founding principles that shaped the nation — self-governance, individual liberty, and the belief that our rights come from our Creator — and why those ideas are still essential 250 years later.

As pride in America declines and more people feel the American Dream is out of reach, Emily explains how the One Small Step campaign is working to restore hope and personal agency. From grassroots activism to empowering citizens to take meaningful action in their communities, this conversation explores how everyday Americans can recommit to the values that made the country exceptional — and help shape the next 250 years of freedom.

We don't have to let politicians shut down the government.

"We look dumb on the world stage. We're the United States of America. The whole world looks at us and goes, they can't even run a budget."

[FarmMind @Farmmind_ai]

Should U.S. taxpayers fund a CCP-owned firm to map our food supply?

Our founder broke it down on @AMPotentialPod: the new ag law sends up to 90¢/$ for precision-ag adoption. Top recipient is Syngenta, owned by ChemChina.

Fix: one amendment. Keep farm data on U.S. soil.

[Colin Raby @colin_raby]

Thanks to @AMPotentialPod for having us on to talk about what we are building at @FarmMind and why it's critical to the future of US agriculture. Check out the conversation here: https://t.co/3y2f2rAVDR

As mentioned in the interview, we are building FarmMind not just to be a great company, but to meaningfully improve the agricultural sector for millions of growers who keep our society fed. When our farmers win, we all win downstream, so ensuring that our growers have the best of modern tools at their disposal , that are easy to use to optimize their bottom line, all while giving them control of their data, is critical for the future of US agriculture.

Also, America has the domestic companies needed to provide increadible services for precision Ag to American growers. We should make sure that the Farm Bill, soon to be voted on by the Senate, doesn't subsidize growers giving their data away to the CCP.

Thanks for coming on @SenArmstrong!

[americanpotential @AMPotentialPod]

Here’s a strong title and description for this episode:

In this episode of American Potential, host @davidfrom sits down with @SenArmstrong to discuss one of the biggest barriers to American growth: the broken permitting process.

Drawing on decades of experience in the energy industry, Senator Armstrong explains how excessive regulation, legal challenges, and bureaucratic overlap have made it nearly impossible to build critical infrastructure—even when projects are already completed. From billion-dollar pipelines being shut down to states blocking interstate energy projects, he highlights the real-world consequences for energy costs, reliability, and national security.
The conversation also explores key legislation like the SPEED Act and the PERMIT Act, and why meaningful reform requires more than surface-level fixes. Armstrong shares his perspective on what policymakers often get wrong—and why now is a critical moment to get it right.

This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how policy decisions shape America’s ability to build, compete, and thrive—and why fixing permitting is essential to the country’s future.

In this episode of American Potential, host @davidfrom sits down with Dana Hollifleld, a nurse with over 20 years of experience, to discuss how government policies are impacting healthcare workers and patients alike.

After working in multiple states, Dana noticed a stark difference when she arrived in Alabama—limited job options, suppressed wages, and reduced patient choice due to hospital monopolies reinforced by certificate of need (CON) laws. Instead of accepting the status quo, she took action—organizing her peers, demanding transparency, and pushing for change.

Her efforts helped secure pay raises for healthcare workers and sparked a broader movement to challenge restrictive regulations that limit competition and innovation in healthcare.

This episode highlights how one person’s decision to speak up can create real change—and why expanding choice and transparency in healthcare is critical for better outcomes for both patients and providers.

In this episode of American Potential, host @davidfrom sits down with Colin Raby, co-founder of Farmmind, to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing one of America’s oldest industries—agriculture.

Colin shares how he and his team identified major gaps in farming technology and built an AI-powered platform to help farmers save time, reduce costs, and increase yields. From simplifying complex decisions to integrating real-time data, Farmmind is giving farmers tools that were once out of reach. The conversation also dives into the bigger picture—how innovation in agriculture impacts food security, economic opportunity, and even national security.

Colin raises important concerns about data ownership and the risks of foreign-controlled companies accessing critical agricultural information. This episode highlights the power of innovation to strengthen American industries—and why the future of farming may depend on getting AI right.

He offers a firsthand perspective on the realities of war, the weight carried by those who serve, and the lasting impact of loss.

Angela reflects on her path from working in the bar industry to becoming a leader in grassroots activism in Ohio. What started as curiosity and opportunity quickly turned into a calling to make a real difference.

Now serving as Deputy Director of Grassroots Operations, Angela empowers volunteers every day to take action, stand up for their beliefs, and fight for policies that bring more freedom and opportunity to their communities.

This episode is a powerful reminder that sometimes one small step—one conversation, one decision, or even one tweet—can change the course of your life.
