Raw Milk, Red Tape, and Freedom: A Wyoming Family’s Fight to Protect Food Choice
2026/06/18 | 31 mins.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Sadie Howard and Mark Nelson of Hippie Cow Creamery in Cody, Wyoming, to share their unexpected journey from family farm to food freedom advocates.

What started as a simple decision to provide healthier food for their family quickly grew into a thriving business—selling raw milk, homemade goods, and popular raw milk lattes under Wyoming’s Food Freedom Act. But their success attracted scrutiny, leading to a surprising visit from a health inspector—one who, as it turns out, should never have been there in the first place.

After being told they needed a license that would actually strip them of their legal protections, Sadie and Mark pushed back. With help from advocates and lawmakers, they’re now working to clarify the law and protect food freedom for others across the state.

This episode highlights how a small business, a questionable complaint, and government overreach sparked a larger fight for personal choice—and why even something as simple as a latte can become a battle for freedom.
Delegate Michael Webert: How Regulatory Reform Saved Virginians Thousands
2026/06/16 | 35 mins.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Virginia Delegate Michael Webert to discuss the impact of regulatory reform and what’s at stake for the future of the Commonwealth.

Delegate Webert breaks down how the Virginia Office of Regulatory Management—created under Governor Glenn Youngkin—has streamlined burdensome rules, cut red tape, and saved taxpayers significant money, including an estimated $26,000 per home.

With a looming deadline and shifting political leadership, those reforms are now at risk. Webert shares concerns about increasing regulations, rising energy costs, and the potential rollback of policies that have helped businesses grow and families afford housing.

From farming to housing to energy policy, this conversation highlights how everyday regulations can quietly shape the cost of living—and why protecting reform efforts is critical to keeping Virginia competitive and affordable.
Building America Again: Senator Alan Armstrong on Fixing Permitting and Energy Policy
2026/06/11 | 30 mins.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with U.S. Senator Alan Armstrong 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.
Fighting for Fair Pay: Dana Hollifleld’s Battle Against Healthcare Monopolies
2026/06/09 | 23 mins.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From 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.
AI Meets Agriculture: How Colin Raby Is Transforming the Future of Farming
2026/06/04 | 32 mins.
In this episode of American Potential, host David From 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.
