Jeff Crank sits down with Akash Chougule, Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, to get his immediate reaction to President Biden’s State of the Union address.

American Potential shares how individuals are taking action in their community to break barriers. While some of our guests may be public officials or influencers, many are ordinary Americans who decided, “enough is enough” and are stepping up in a big way.

We share policy solutions to the most important challenges our country faces and talk to people who are doing something about it. Our hope is that when you hear about other people’s stories of success – and struggle – you will realize that you are capable of doing extraordinary things within your own community and know that you are not alone.

American Potential’s mission is to inspire you and equip you with the information you need to raise your voice and be heard.
