## Resource

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs—known to many as WWE Hall of Famer “Kane”—to discuss his unique journey from the wrestling ring to public office. Jacobs shares how the opportunities he found in America shaped his belief in freedom, limited government, and personal responsibility. He reflects on the importance of civic engagement, why protecting liberty matters for future generations, and what ultimately led him to step into leadership. The conversation also dives into one of the most important issues facing families today: education. Jacobs explains why school choice and competition are key to improving outcomes for all students, and how empowering parents—not systems—leads to better opportunities for children. From economic growth to state-level leadership, this episode highlights how Tennessee is becoming a model for freedom and innovation—and why preserving the principles that made America exceptional is more important than ever.
