In this episode of\xa0American Potential, Jeff Crank interviews Daniel Chang Contreras, who shares his experiences of growing up in Venezuela during a period of severe economic and political crisis. Daniel discusses the devastating effects of hyperinflation on his family\u2019s business and the broader societal challenges, including scarcity of basic goods and unreliable public services. He explains how the Venezuelan government\u2019s policies led to economic collapse and increased authoritarianism, forcing many, including his family, to reconsider their future in the country.\n\nDaniel\u2019s story is one of resilience and hope. As a young activist, he participated in protests against the government, motivated by his family\u2019s long history of political involvement. His journey took him to the United States, where he was struck by the stability and opportunities available. Now a student and a speaker with the Dissident Project, Daniel advocates for the preservation of freedom and democracy. His experiences highlight the critical importance of protecting these values and provide a unique immigrant perspective on the American experience. Tune in to hear his inspiring journey and reflections on the significance of liberty.\n\nCheck out American Potential here: https://americanpotential.com\n\nCheck out our Spanish episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8wSZydeKZ6uOuFlT_1QQ53L7l6AmC83c\n\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanPotentialPodcast \n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/americanpotentialpodcast/\n\nX: https://twitter.com/AMPotentialPod
