Researchers at Harvard analyzed the tax records of 40 million Americans to answer one of the most debated questions in the country: does the American Dream still exist? The good news is that the dream is alive, but where you grow up dramatically shapes your odds of reaching it.

In this Shop Talk, Bill breaks down the 4 factors researchers found that consistently predict whether children will flourish. Turns out, 3 of them aren't programs or policies. They're things that An Army of Normal Folks can actually help build for our families and for those most at-risk of not achieving their dreams!

What 40 Million Tax Returns Reveal About America

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/63b20f27-4b06-4b1f-96cc-b4970154c0a3/transcript

This is the shorter "highlights" version of the episode. 

Coach Bill Courtney sits down with Chris Campbell, Executive Director of Oklahoma's 111 Project, to unpack how Oklahoma has cut the number of children in foster care nearly in half—from 11,500 to 6,000—and what communities across America can learn from their success.

Rather than pointing fingers at government, Chris shares how churches, nonprofits, everyday citizens, and public agencies began working together to build practical pathways for people to help. From recruiting foster families to preventing children from entering foster care in the first place, this conversation is full of ideas that any community can adopt.

Chris also shares the deeply personal moment that changed the course of his life: holding a two-day-old baby with nowhere to go.

In this episode:
Why America has a foster parent shortage—and the consequences for children.
How Oklahoma dramatically reduced the number of kids in foster care.
Why prevention is just as important as recruiting foster families.
The story behind CarePortal and how a simple app is helping keep families together.
Why supporting struggling families often matters more than removing children.
The surprising role churches can play in solving one of America's biggest challenges.

If An Army of Normal Folks each did what we can, this is one problem we really can solve.
