Special Episode – Senator Rick Scott on Reviving the American Dream

In this special edition of American Potential, guest host Daniel Garza sits down with U.S. Senator Rick Scott for an inspiring and candid conversation recorded during LIBRE’s fly-in. Senator Scott shares his personal journey from growing up in public housing to building the largest hospital company in the nation, serving as Florida’s two-term governor, and now representing the state in the U.S. Senate.

They discuss the economic turnaround Scott led in Florida—reversing job losses, slashing fees, and creating a pro-business environment where entrepreneurs can thrive. He talks about why small businesses are the backbone of the economy, how balancing budgets unleashes opportunity, and why unchecked federal spending threatens America’s future.

Scott also reflects on the values that shaped him—faith, hard work, and personal responsibility—and why he believes those same principles drive the aspirations of Latino families across the country. This episode is a call to action for every American to protect opportunity, stay engaged, and help keep the American Dream alive.
