    March Madness: Who Is America’s Greatest Defender of Freedom?

    03.04.2026 | 34 Min.
    In this special American Potential episode, host David From brings the excitement of March Madness to American history with a “Defenders of Freedom” bracket—pitting 64 influential figures against each other to answer one big question: who had the greatest impact on liberty?

    Joined by Daniel Bassali, Jeremiah Mosteller, and Hunter Kendrick, the conversation blends humor, history, and spirited debate as they walk through the Liberty Bracket to determine who the ultimate defender of freedom is. From Washington vs. Jefferson to Reagan vs. MLK Jr., each round forces tough choices about leadership, legacy, and what it truly means to defend freedom.

    Along the way, the group reflects on the defining moments and principles that shaped the nation—from founding the republic to preserving it, expanding rights, and championing liberty at home and abroad.

    In the end, one figure rises above the rest—but the real takeaway is a deeper appreciation for the individuals whose courage and conviction built and sustained the American experiment.

    It’s a fun, fast-paced episode that reminds us: freedom didn’t happen by accident—and it’s up to each of us to carry it forward.

    Looking Beyond the Next Election: A Vision for Alaska’s Future with Brett Huber

    01.04.2026 | 32 Min.
    In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with AFP Alaska State Director Brett Huber to explore a remarkable journey—from fishing guide and small business owner to a leader shaping Alaska’s policy future.

    Brett shares how a single step into public life turned into a decades-long career in public policy, and why Alaska’s unique culture, resources, and people make it unlike any other state. From the importance of fisheries and outdoor life to the realities of governing a vast and independent-minded state, this conversation highlights what makes Alaska both challenging—and full of opportunity.

    The discussion also looks ahead to the critical decisions facing Alaska today, including energy development, fiscal stability, and the state’s long-term economic future. Brett explains why this moment is different: instead of focusing on one election at a time, there’s now an opportunity to think bigger—bringing people together around a long-term, solutions-driven vision that empowers Alaskans to shape their own future.

    It’s a powerful reminder that meaningful change doesn’t happen overnight—and that when people get involved, even one small step can lead to lasting impact.

    How Brady Cupples Took His One Small Step Into Politics and Leadership

    25.03.2026 | 18 Min.
    In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Brady Cupples, co-chair of his county’s Young Republicans, to share his journey from political observer to active leader.

    Brady opens up about what sparked his renewed interest in politics, how the events of recent years motivated him to get involved, and the simple step that changed everything—showing up. What started as attending a local meeting quickly turned into building connections, working on campaigns, and stepping into a leadership role in his community.

    He also discusses the issues that drive his passion, including immigration, education, and crime, and why he believes it’s critical for young people to engage in the political process—especially in states where their views may be in the minority.

    Brady’s story is a powerful example of the “one small step” idea: you don’t need a perfect plan to get started. Sometimes, just showing up can lead to opportunities to lead, influence, and make a real difference.
