American Potential
American Potential is a national award-winning podcast that shares how individuals are taking action in their communities to break barriers.

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.
