MEET YOUR HOST: JIMMIE T. SMITH
A Voice of Experience. A Mission of Empowerment.
My life is rooted in service and a belief that every young American deserves the chance to forge their own path to freedom and success.
As a U.S. Army veteran with over 20 years of service, I faced the challenges of deployment in the Gulf War and served with elite units like the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions—learning the value of resilience, teamwork, and sacrifice.
After retiring in 2003, I brought those lessons home, serving three terms as a Florida State Representative and later as a Citrus County Commissioner.
I’ve continued to advocate for the liberties I fought for—because the American Dream doesn’t protect itself.
My experiences, from leading soldiers to shaping public policy, have shown me that the Dream thrives when we equip young people to think critically, act boldly, and lead with courage.
I’m here to share the stories and insights that will help light the way for the next generation to shape Their American Dream.
What Is Their American Dream?
Our Story
Inspired by the ideals of Patrick Henry and the Anti-Federalist Founding Fathers, Their American Dream is more than a podcast—it’s a platform for the next generation to claim their voice.
From politics and education to careers and healthcare, today’s decisions will shape tomorrow’s freedoms. Too often, young Americans are told to “wait their turn.” We reject that. This is their moment.
