In this STEMulating Conversations episode, hope dealer Mia McNeil, ESq., Tennessee State Director for AARP, joins us to unpack the truth behind the organization's mission, the power of advocacy, and why aging is everyone's issue. AARP isn't just about senior discounts—it's shaping the future of healthcare, equity, and livable communities. Mia brings energy, insight, and truth as she dispels the common myths about AARP — it's not just for "old folks," and it's not just about discounts. She shares how the organization champions critical issues like healthcare access, digital inclusion, and livable communities for all ages. We explore what AARP actually does—and why it matters for people of all ages, the importance of intergenerational collaboration and planning for the silvering generation, what professionals, entrepreneurs, and policymakers should consider in building inclusive futures. Listen in and get inspired to think bigger, plan smarter, and live with purpose—at any age.

After years of tireless advocacy and personal sacrifice, Tennessee has passed universal school choice—and for families like Drew Middletown's, it couldn't have come at a better time. In this powerful episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Tori Venable, Tennessee State Director for Americans for Prosperity, and Drew Middletown, a Tennessee dad who's navigated the heartbreak and hope of finding the right education for his son with autism. With the help of programs like the Individualized Education Account (IEA) and Katie Beckett, Drew was able to move his son into a school where he now thrives. Now, thanks to Tennessee's new Education Freedom Accounts, his daughter will be able to attend that same school too. Tori shares the behind-the-scenes journey—nearly a decade in the making—that led to this transformational law. From expanding access for special needs students to breaking barriers for low-income families, this win wasn't easy. But it's now real: 20,000 scholarships available across the state, including priority for families earning up to 300% of the federal poverty line. This isn't just policy—it's personal. Drew and Tori talk about what this law means for real people, real families, and a generation of students who now have a shot at a brighter future. Whether you're a parent, policymaker, or education advocate, this episode is a must-listen. It's a reminder that when families are empowered, students succeed—and when citizens fight for freedom, change happens.

In this episode of "American Potential," Jeff Crank engages with Tori Venable, the Tennessee State Director for Americans for Prosperity, in a candid conversation. They reminisce about the AFP's Capital Conference, where state chapters converge in Washington, D.C., to discuss pivotal policies. Beyond the conference, Jeff and Tori dive into the quirks of government intervention, using the new gas cans as a humorous yet poignant example.   The episode promises a blend of policy talk, personal anecdotes, and light-hearted banter, offering listeners insights into the world of advocacy and the personalities behind it.  #americanpotential    Check out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com

Episode Three of Unrig the System Podcast discusses the impacts of the prison industrial complex—and bipartisan solutions for unrigging our criminal justice system. Special interests exploit our corrupt political system to pad their bottom lines, maligning our criminal justice system and keeping Americans behind bars in the process. Now, an unresponsive Congress and a hardened Department of Justice have pushed the issue of criminal justice reform to the state and local levels.
