In this episode we discuss a recently released policy brief titled “The Status of Women and Entrepreneurship in Utah: A 2025 Update.” This report builds on earlier studies from 2016 and 2020, offering fresh insights into the progress women entrepreneurs have made in Utah's booming economy, as well as the challenges that still remain. Drawing from recent data, national trends, and expert perspectives, the research provides a clear picture of where women-owned businesses are thriving and where barriers continue to hold them back. What do these findings tell us about the future of entrepreneurship for Utah women, and what solutions are emerging to strengthen their success? We'll explore all of that and more in today's episode.Dr. Susan Madsen, a Professor of Organizational Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project and A Bolder Way Forward, is joined by two guests.

  How do you go from hauling shrimp on the Gulf to hauling big reforms through Baton Rouge? In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Scott Simon, State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Louisiana, to trace his unlikely path: fisherman, construction hand, designer, community volunteer, state legislator, and now grassroots leader. Scott shares the “one small step” moments—raking baseball fields after his kids' games, organizing neighbors, knocking doors—that pulled him into public service and taught him how ordinary people create extraordinary change. Then Scott lays out Louisiana's recent reform surge and why he calls 2024 a breakthrough year: a universal school-choice program opening opportunity to every student, a simplified 3% flat individual income tax and broader tax reforms that set the table for future elimination, and pro-growth regulatory changes aimed at making the state a magnet for jobs and investment. He also reveals the ground game behind the wins—recruiting policy champions, mobilizing volunteers, and reminding citizens that good policy follows engaged people. If you've ever looked at a problem and thought “somebody should do something,” Scott's story is your blueprint to start.

Ohio's water is one of its most valuable resources—critical for the state's health, environment, and economy. From reducing toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie to improving aging sewer and pipe systems and addressing polluted runoff, the stakes are immense. H2Ohio—a bipartisan clean water initiative launched in 2019—has made clear progress through collaboration with farmers, conservationists, and local governments.  But a budget reduction this year to the initiative of nearly 40% could slow or scale back some of these projects, prompting discussion among policymakers, environmental groups, and community leaders about the best path forward. What's at stake isn't just clean water—it's Ohio's health, environment, and long-term economic future.  Featuring: Dontavius Jarrells, Representative, 1st District, Ohio State House of Representatives Paula Powell, Senior Vice President, Research and Development, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Adam Sharp, Executive Vice President, The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Bill Stanley, State Director, The Nature Conservancy in Ohio The host is Carol Kauffman, CEO, The Ohio Environmental Council This forum was sponsored by Burgess & Niple, Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District, The Alliance for the Great Lakes, The Green Funds of The Columbus Foundation, The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, The Nature Conservancy, and The Ohio Environmental Council.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump—alongside Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, & NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya—delivered remarks on Autism research which may link between acetaminophen usage during pregnancy to the condition. 5:30pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Sunday night's NJ gubernatorial debate between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. 5:55pm- Tom Azelby hosts the 6pm Hour of The Rich Zeoli Show!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (09/22/2025): 3:05pm- According to new data from CNN's Harry Enten, despite Donald Trump's personally low approval ratings, Republicans still possess massive polling advantages on three key issues: the economy, immigration, and crime. Enten joked that the Democrats have become the New Orlean Saints of political parties—which bodes poorly for the party's hopes of taking the House of Representatives and/or Senate in 2026. 3:10pm- On Sunday, Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill held their first NJ Gubernatorial debate at Rider University. During one notable moment, Sherrill refused to pledge that she wouldn't raise taxes on New Jersey citizens. One new poll now has Ciattarelli leading by 1-point. 3:30pm- During Sunday's debate, Mikie Sherrill attempted to explain why she voted in favor of a bipartisan House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk—but publicly denounced Kirk, lying about his past comments and baselessly claiming he wanted to” roll back the rights of women and Black people.” Sherrill was unable to answer when confronted with her inconsistencies and falsehoods. 3:40pm- On Sunday, a memorial service for Charlie Kirk was held in Glendale, Arizona—with 73,000 inside of State Farm Stadium and an estimated 200,000 people in total showing up to the event. In a powerful moment during the ceremony, Erika Kirk said she forgives her husband's accused killer. 3:50pm- During her Monday briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that President Donald Trump plans to sign an Executive Order designating Antifa as a terrorist organization. 4:05pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel's comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network's move appeared to be a result of Kimmel's comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel's vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr's warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. ABC/Disney is now announcing that the suspension has concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. Rich notes that if Carr had not opened his mouth and baselessly threatened ABC/Disney, Kimmel's show would have likely ended permanently. Did Carr inadvertently save Kimmel's career? 4:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump: “If you could eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” Trump responded, “probably steak.” 4:40pm- Joe Gruters—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for his first interview since becoming RNC Chair last month! He discusses his experience as a Florida State Senator, November's New Jersey gubernatorial election, and more. Chairman Gruters explains, “I'm committed to do whatever it takes to make sure we give the President a full four years [with a Republican-controlled House & Senate]” so “he continues to save the world.” 5:05pm- From the White House, President Donald Trump—alongside Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary, & NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya—delivered remarks on Autism research which may link between acetaminophen usage during pregnancy to the condition. 5:30pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the America First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturday's 7pm to 10pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap Sunday night's NJ gubernatorial debate between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. 5:55pm- Tom Azelby hosts the 6pm Hour of The Rich Zeoli Show!

Through strategic partnerships, like the one with Morehouse School of Medicine, she is establishing new community clinics. These hubs offer essential services, including primary care and preventative screenings, to create a more equitable healthcare system for underserved residents. Leveraging her background as a former Obama Administration official and Regional Director for HHS, Roshell brings a deep understanding of securing federal funding for innovative, community-based solutions. A top priority is mental and behavioral health. Roshell is fighting the stigma and lack of access to care through new programs and expanded access points. Her work also directly benefits Fulton County's senior population, with initiatives that improve access to care and promote social engagement to combat isolation. Roshell believes in a holistic approach to community well-being, recognizing that public safety and the arts are interconnected with health.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/19/2025): 3:05pm- U.S. Boots on the Ground? On Monday, President Donald Trump held a multilateral meeting from the White House—which included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump emphasized “you have my assurance” there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. 3:15pm- The far-left continues to downplay President Trump's peace efforts—with some media members insisting Trump has been too cordial to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rich argues: “we can be the world's marriage counselor,” it's better than being the “world's police department.” 3:30pm- Rich can't remember names, none of the televisions are working in the studios, Matt gets yelled at (shocking), and Andrew is filling in for Justin! 3:40pm- Former Vice President Kamala Harris accuses Texas Republicans of “cheating” via redistricting—and claims the GOP wants to “dilute” the Democrat vote. Rich argues that someone should be “diluting” Harris's drinks. 4:05pm- Matt Rooney— Founder of SaveJersey.com, State Director of the American First Policy Institute of New Jersey, & Host of The Matt Rooney Show on 1210 WPHT (Saturdays 7pm to 9pm)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that the owner of NJ.com & The Star Ledger has contributed over $400,000 to Democrats, including $16,7000 to Mikie Sherrill. 4:30pm- Should parents be criminally punished for children who act irresponsibly and break the law? PLUS, Rich actually takes a listener's call! 5:05pm- On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke with reporters about President Trump's efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, calling him “the peace president” and noting that “what we've witnessed President Trump accomplish over the last few days has been nothing short of remarkable. We are now 3.5 years into the war between Russia and Ukraine...Thanks to President Trump's efforts, we finally have movement after years of deadly gridlock." 5:15pm- In a post to X, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard wrote: “Over the past few months, I've been working closely with our partners in the UK, alongside the president and vice president, to ensure Americans' private data remains private and our Constitutional rights and civil liberties are protected. As a result, the UK has agreed to drop its mandate for Apple to provide a ‘back door' that would have enabled access to the protected encrypted data of American citizens and encroached on our civil liberties.” 5:20pm- Andrew asks if he can place an order for takeout pizza from Rich's at-home pizza oven. Plus, does New Haven have the best pizza in the world? 5:30pm- U.S. Boots on the Ground? On Monday, President Donald Trump held a multilateral meeting from the White House—which included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During an interview with Fox & Friends, Trump emphasized “you have my assurance” there will be no U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. 5:45pm- Did Rich mention he was on Fox News earlier today? 6:05pm- The far-left continues to dismiss President Trump's efforts to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine. Former U.S. National Security Advisor Susan Rice baselessly told Anderson Cooper that “Trump melted like ice in the Alaska sun.” Meanwhile, CBS's John Dickerson foolishly hinted that Vladimir Putin should have been arrested the moment he stepped on U.S. soil. 6:20pm- While appearing on Fox News with Laura Ingraham, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised President Trump—explaining he has been “amazing” during negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. So, why are elements of corporate media pushing a wildly different narr ...

Tonight on Veritas, our special guest is Debbie Ziegelmeyer. She is one of the world's foremost authorities on unidentified submerged objects, USOs, and an expert on the astonishing phenomena hidden in Earth's vast and mysterious oceans. A veteran investigator with MUFON, Debbie has conducted over 1,200 case investigations, served as Missouri's State Director, sits on the MUFON Board of Directors, and co founded their groundbreaking Dive Team. She is also a PADI instructor, bringing an unparalleled underwater perspective to this field. Her acclaimed book, The Alien Colonization of Earth's Waterways, compiles evidence from ancient records, medieval texts, modern military encounters, and eyewitness reports from around the world. Her second book, co authored with Margie Kay, chronicles the legendary Southeast Missouri UFO Flap of 1973, one of the most astonishing waves of UFO activity in United States history. From ancient sightings recorded in the 11th century, to modern Navy videos capturing craft slipping effortlessly between sea and sky, to hotspots like Puerto Rico and California's Catalina Island, the evidence points to something extraordinary happening beneath our oceans. Craft that create no splash, technologies that interfere with electronics, patterns of activity dating back centuries, the questions only grow. Are we witnessing visitors from distant worlds? Or is this something much older, beings who have long shared this planet with us, unseen beneath the waves? And what might their presence reveal about the true history of our world? Tonight, we bring these questions to one of the top minds in the field. Debbie Ziegelmeyer is coming up next.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Tyler Lindholm, State Director for Americans for Prosperity–Wyoming and a true cowboy at heart, to unpack a banner year for freedom in the Cowboy State. From passing universal education savings accounts to overriding the governor's veto of the REINS Act, Tyler shares how Wyoming is becoming a model for liberty-minded policy. They dig into the repeal of outdated certificate of need laws, the fight to give parents more control over their children's education, and how empowering legislators—not unelected regulators—restores government accountability. Tyler also previews bold new priorities for next year, including judicial reform, fighting unnecessary AI regulations, and eliminating absurd licensing mandates. This episode shows how grassroots energy, principled leadership, and a commitment to freedom can transform even the smallest state into a laboratory for liberty. If you want to see what's possible when government gets out of the way—Wyoming just might be your blueprint.

Americans are divided by geography. Most of us live in overwhelmingly red or blue Congressional Districts. We are less likely than ever to know someone from the other side of the political spectrum. We are often misinformed about what members of the other tribe actually believe. In this episode we speak with Kirk Tatnall, Starla Brown, and Cade Smith about a Braver Angels exchange program. Participants from New York City and Jackson, Mississippi visited each other over two weekends. They held workshops and meetings, engaging in discussions across differences.“I just have a fundamental underlying belief that you cannot understand someone else unless you know them,” Kirk Tatnall told us. “You cannot really get to the motivations and the passions and the drive of other people until you see how they live.”The exchange began with the idea that only by coming together physically - in each other's backyards - can we begin to understand the other side.“We got to know each other, and we were allowed to be vulnerable in a very safe, wonderful environment,” said Starla Brown. “Being able to be vulnerable with people who don't agree with you is empowering.”Exchange participants learned about two very different parts of the country, and engaged with people not like them. “It's not just speaking. It's being open to seeing someone in a completely new light, and if you do you can never see them the old way,” Cade Smith told “How Do We Fix It?”This podcast is our latest to report on the people, projects, and ideas of Braver Angels, who aim to restore the American spirit of working together.Our guests:Starla Brown is the current State Director for Americans for Prosperity's Mississippi Chapter. Starla is a 5th generation Mississippian and spent a portion of her life in South Florida where she worked in the construction industry and marketing development, as well as with the Florida chapter of AFP. Kirk Tatnall has been a New Yorker for most of his adult life. His career in advertising has spanned the digital marketing era and he continues to focus his time at the crossroads of media, data and adtech to deliver cross-channel television solutions. He is a husband and father to an adult son who continues to seek out reconciliation across a deeply divided nation.Cade grew up in Grenada, Mississippi and is the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Access and Community Engagement in the Division of Access, Opportunity, and Community Engagement at The University of Mississippi. His work includes advancing the formation of collaborative partnerships between UM scholars and communities. He is also responsible for building bridges across divided communities through dialogue, education, and scholarly inquiry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From is joined by Genevieve Collins, State Director of Americans for Prosperity–Texas, and Joel Enge, founder of Kingdom Life Academy, to share the extraordinary story behind the largest school choice legislation in American history. After more than a decade of advocacy, Texas has officially passed sweeping education savings account (ESA) legislation, unlocking new options for thousands of families. Collins explains how her team helped mobilize communities across the state to shift public opinion, change the political landscape, and secure a historic 86 votes in the Texas House. Joel Enge offers a deeply personal perspective. A former public school teacher in Tyler, Texas, Joel sold his home to launch a school that serves students struggling in traditional education environments. He shares how school choice will bring hope to low-income families, allow his micro-school to grow, and create life-changing opportunities for students through real-world, hands-on learning. This is the story of how grassroots action, policy expertise, and bold leadership came together to empower parents and give kids a better shot at success. Texas is now leading the way—and this episode explains why it matters for the entire country.
