What does it look like when an ordinary American, with no political pedigree, takes one small step to get involved and ends up reshaping his community? In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes Jimmie Smith, Brand Development Director at Concerned Veterans for America, to share his remarkable story. Jimmie's path began in the woods of Florida, where as a boy he dreamed of serving his country. He left high school early, joined the Army at 17, and spent 20 years in uniform. But when he returned home, his passion for America didn't end with his military career. Frustrated by a local politician's call for higher taxes during the recession, Jimmie decided to run for office—not with a war chest or political machine, but with conviction and support from friends and neighbors. In this conversation, Jimmie reflects on what it meant to campaign as a self-described “common man,” challenge entrenched voices, and bring a veteran's perspective to the Florida House. He shares candid stories from the floor of the legislature—including a passionate speech that nearly ended his career but instead earned him respect—and explains why he fought to replace government handouts with real opportunities for veterans. Today, Jimmie continues his mission through advocacy, helping veterans use their voices to defend freedom and expand opportunity for all Americans. His journey proves that service doesn't end with a uniform, and that one small step—taken by anyone—can change the course of a community, a state, or even a nation.
On a bustling afternoon at the Espresso Bar in downtown Winchester, Janet Michael, host of “The Valley Today,” sat down with Kit Redmer, City of Winchester's Communications Director, for a candid conversation about civic engagement, community development, and the evolving face of Winchester. Their discussion, rich with insights and local flavor, offered a window into how the city is fostering a more informed and involved citizenry through its innovative Civic Leadership Academy and other community initiatives. The Civic Leadership Academy, as Kit explained, is Winchester's answer to the age-old question: “How does my city really work?” Modeled after similar programs but tailored to Winchester's unique needs, the Academy invites residents to take a deep dive into the inner workings of local government. Over nine months, participants meet monthly to explore topics ranging from city management and budgeting to public safety, parks, and social services. The program is designed to be accessible, with sessions scheduled to accommodate busy professionals and students alike. Kit emphasized that the Academy is not just for aspiring politicians or city officials. “It's a low-barrier, first step for anyone who wants to get involved—whether you're new to Winchester or a lifelong resident,” he said. The program's alumni include city councilors, board members, and everyday citizens who simply want to make a difference. Beyond the curriculum, the Academy fosters connections among like-minded individuals, offering alumni events and social gatherings that help build a sense of community. The conversation shifted to the city's ongoing transformation, most notably the redevelopment of Ward Plaza. For many, including Janet, the changes evoke nostalgia and a sense of loss for the Winchester of their youth. Yet, as Kit pointed out, the new mixed-use development promises to bring housing, retail, green spaces, and modern amenities to the area, addressing both economic and environmental needs. The project's innovative approach to recycling demolition materials and maximizing space with parking garages reflects Winchester's commitment to sustainability and smart growth. Kit also highlighted the city's focus on neighborhood design districts, which aim to revitalize various areas with parks, green spaces, and community-driven planning. These efforts, he noted, are informed by resident feedback and designed to enhance quality of life for all. Central to Winchester's approach is a commitment to listening. Every two years, the city conducts a comprehensive community survey, inviting residents to weigh in on everything from public safety to parks and utilities. The results directly influence strategic planning and budgeting, ensuring that city leaders remain responsive to the needs and priorities of their constituents. Reder encouraged residents to participate, reminding listeners that their voices matter—whether through surveys, public meetings, or direct communication with city staff. Janet echoed this sentiment, urging citizens to take advantage of the many opportunities to engage constructively with local government, rather than simply venting frustrations on social media. “You have so many opportunities to make your voice heard by the people who can actually make a difference,” she said. Throughout the conversation, both Janet and Kit underscored Winchester's efforts to make information and opportunities accessible. From the city's user-friendly website and newsletters to the open-door policy of city staff, the message was clear: Winchester wants its residents to feel informed, empowered, and connected. As the episode wrapped up, Kit invited everyone interested in the Civic Leadership Academy to apply, promising a rewarding experience that offers both knowledge and community. For a city in the midst of change, Winchester's commitment to civic education and engagement stands as a model for how local governments can build stronger, more resilient communities—one informed citizen at a time.
Two new state laws have caused major changes at Texas' public universities, just as loads of cash has been channeled to new institutions claiming a more “anti-woke” approach to education.

He joins host Nikki DaVaughn to talk about the $100 million School of Civic Leadership at UT, backed by conservative politicians including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick; the University of Austin; and UT's brain drain. Want some more Austin news? Then make sure to sign up for our Hey Austin newsletter.

Over the past couple of weeks, there have been several developments in the litigation surrounding the Trump Adminsitration’s directives pausing disbursements of foreign development assistance funds.On February 25, 2025, a D.C. District judge ordered the Administration to issue a portion of the payments that it had previously sought to pause by the next day (that is, by 11:59 p.m. on February 26). The Trump Administration appealed to the Supreme Court requesting an administrative stay, which the Chief Justice granted on a temporary basis as the application was referred to the full Court. On March 5, 2025, a 5-4 Court vacated the stay granted by the Chief Justice, leaving in place the February 25 order (though it noted the deadline stated therein had passed and the lower court needed to give clarity as to the requirements that still remained for the Government) and the initial February 13 temporary restraining order which initially enjoined the Administration from enforcing its earlier directives to pause all aid payments.Join us for a litigation update on this case as we discuss the various orders, the move by the Court to vacate the stay, and what may happen next.Featuring:Erin M.

For our annual online academic study this year, we are taking a journey through our republic with Alexis de Tocqueville's “Democracy in America.” It is perhaps the best book ever written about America and democracy, according to our guest today. In this work, De Toqueville takes on an almost prophetic voice in predicting the future of our country and our constitutional republic. How was De Tocqueville able to leverage his knowledge of philosophy to accomplish this? What truths was he willing to tell us about our governmental institutions? To walk us through this aspect of De Toqueville's work, we are honored to welcome Raúl Rodriguez, assistant professor in the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas at Austin, for this enlightening conversation.
David Martinez III hosts this episode and has an insightful conversation with partners from Philanthropy for Active Civic Engagement, the Arizona Center for Civic Leadership at the Flinn Foundation, and the Center for the Future of Arizona about how Arizonans view civic language. A recently published study finds that Arizonans react strongly to different civic language terms—more so than the rest of the country—and that these perceptions can enhance or hinder collaborative community conversations.

This episode discusses childhood molestation and rape and may not be suitable for younger listeners or those who've experienced similar trauma. I hope you've all had a beautiful and rejuvenating summer. I'm recording this episode on the eve of the Autumn Equinox. I imagine we're all beginning to pull out those comfy sweaters for the cooler weather that is right around the corner! I'm delighted to be back with a new season of episodes beginning with the very special guest that's joining me today. The descriptor's “bestselling author, global sailor and activist”, used to introduce Heidi Love, fails to give full measure to who this amazing woman is. (She's definitely all of those but oh, SO MUCH MORE!) Heidi was born in the small Alaskan town of Seward, Alaska, where her missionary father, mother and older brother moved to from Pennsylvania prior to her birth then eventually moved to Philadelphia when Heidi was six. Now living in Eliot Maine, her cache of accomplishments include marketing strategist and cofounder of Vont, a Maine-based $7 million dollar digital marketing agency along with its sister agency, Ethos; a full-service, multi-platform branding agency. Love has earned an MBA, a Women of Achievement Fellowship, and graduated from the Institute for Civic Leadership. She is an active board member of Safe Space Radio and a former board member of the Maine Women's Fund. As impressive as those accomplishments are Heidi's quest for healing from childhood violence, and its ensuing trauma,led her to embark on a five-year, 12,000 nautical-mile sailing odyssey from Maine to French Polynesia that was 43 years in the making resulting in a life redeemed and an incredible message of Hope. In May of 2024, Heidi released the memoir of that journey, Laughing at the Sky, Wild Adventure, Bold Dreams and a Daring Search for a Stolen Childhood, which ranked #1 in New Releases in four different categories on Amazon, which we'll be talking about today.
