Today, we'll hear from members of the cheer squad and color guard to learn how they keep up the energy on the field. Then, we hear from two fans who found love in the stands.Roughly two weeks ago, we took listeners on a trip to the LSU archives, where we learned how former Louisiana Gov. Huey Long became a major champion of the university. But his overinvolvement came with a price, and almost cost the school its accreditation. For more on Long's relationship with LSU and the precedent it set, we're joined by Robert Mann, former professor and chair at LSU's Manship School of Mass Communication, and the author of the book, Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Alana Schreiber.

Few people understand Louisiana, especially its politics, history and issues, better than Robert Mann. He is an author of several books about Louisiana politics, none so close to the topic as his most recent publication, "Kingfish U," a rollicking history of Huey Long and his championing of LSU. Mann has been an insider working for prominent elected officials including Russell Long, John Breaux and Kathleen Blanco, and he has had bylines in newspapers for covering the political beat. Mann joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with Producer Kelly Massicot, to talk about the condition of the state in the Jeff Landry era. It is a compelling discussion, especially when he analyzes the most serious issue facing the state. He also pronounces his pick of the worst governor ever. And it wasn't that long ago.

We visit with our friend Robert Mann from the Stadium Shoppe and talk about all of the sports news of the day.

And I have no confidence that the leadership of this university would protect the Manship School against a governor's efforts to punish me and other faculty members.” Mann joins us today to discuss his decision to leave LSU – and for a conversation on failures by the Democratic party establishment in the last election cycle.

539. We talk to Bob Mann about his new book, Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU. Huey Long & LSU. "No political leader is more closely identified with Louisiana State University than the flamboyant governor and U.S. senator Huey P. Long, who devoted his last years to turning a small, undistinguished state school into an academic and football powerhouse. From 1931, when Long declared himself the “official thief” for LSU, to his death in 1935, the school's budget mushroomed, its physical plant burgeoned, its faculty flourished, and its enrollment tripled... Rollicking and revealing, Robert Mann's Kingfish U is the definitive story of Long's embrace of LSU" (LSU Press). "Robert Mann holds the Manship Chair in Journalism at the Manship School of Mass Communication. Prior to joining the Manship School in 2006, he served as communications director to Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco. He joined the governor's staff in 2004 after serving 17 years as state director and press secretary to U.S. Senator John Breaux of Louisiana. Before his service on Breaux's staff, he was press secretary to U.S. Senator Russell Long of Louisiana. He was also press secretary for the 1990 re-election campaign of U.S. Senator J. Bennett Johnston of Louisiana, and communications director for the 2003 Blanco campaign. In 2015, he was inducted into the Louisiana Political Hall of Fame" (Manship School). This week in Louisiana history. August 8, 1935. Louisiana Senator Huey P. Long is shot to death in the state capitol in Baton Rouge, by Dr. Carl Austin Weiss, Jr. It is believed that Weiss may have been acting in revenge of Long's public slandering against his father. This week in New Orleans history. The Beatles at City Park Stadium. Wednesday, September 16, 1964. A sellout crowd of 27,000-plus New Orleanians, most of them young girls, filled City Park Stadium on Wednesday, September 16, 1964 to "meet" The Beatles.  General admission tickets sold for $5.00 ($4.32 plus taxes).  Opening the 8:00 P.M. show were New Orleans' own Frogman Henry, Jackie deShannon, and The Bill Black Combo.  This week in Louisiana. Zydeco Cajun Prairie Scenic Byway Website Distance: 283 miles Duration: One to two days for a self-guided tour The Zydeco Cajun Prairie Scenic Byway pays tribute to the music of south Louisiana, touching many iconic music spots while ambling through serene, rolling prairies. Crawfish farms, sweet potato fields and pastures where beef cattle and saddle horses graze are just a few of the features on this byway. A ride along this byway also illustrates why Louisiana is well-known for its many festivals. The towns along the route hold celebrations to honor everything from cotton to cracklins.

Robert Mann Talks: His book Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU / Brian Kelly's comments on LSU academics / Improvements and renovations on campus, priorities Kaare Talks: Flooding, infrastructure in Orleans Parish / Brian Kelly's LSU academics comments / Balancing academics and athletics

Robert Mann returns to the podcast to talk about his latest book, Kingfish U: Huey Long and LSU. Long--known as "The Kingfish" after a character from the popular radio show Amos 'n' Andy--was the governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and then senator until his death in 1935 (a fact that did not stop him from effectively being governor while serving as senator). In the seven years in which he had a virtual dictatorship, he accomplished a lot, perhaps no more so than he did at LSU.  Long brought LSU into the ranks of modern southern colleges. For better or worse, it was Huey Long that made LSU what it is now: a football powerhouse with good academic departments. He also added to the state's odd and colorful history with his antics. As he did with everything, Long bent the law to his will so long as a pet project benefited. During Long's tenure, LSU grew considerably. LSU has changed quite a bit from the 1930s. But in other ways, it has not. Bob and Colin talk about what Long did, how it created a distinct LSU culture, and why Long might be saddened by what the university has become today.   Buy Bob's book here!  

LSU is known for its achievements on the playing field and in the classroom, but before any of that could happen there were political battles and maneuvers to grow the university and to make it nationally prominent. Chief among the maneuverers was Huey Long who, during the seven year span when we he governor then Senator until being assassinated in 1935, made the university a personal cause. Robert Mann, a historian, author and a political consultant joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot to talk about his book, “KINGFISH U: HUEY LONG AND LSU.” More than just telling the story about the evolution of a university, the book provides a fascinating study of the state and its politics.  We will also hear about the time that the LSU student body watched the Tigers play Vanderbilt. Only to do it, Long arranged to ship the students to Nashville by train.

In this week's episode, we look back at our 2022 Marketing Prediction episode. Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by the triumvirate of Jeff Staats (CMO at Haley Marketing), Jeff Pelliccio (Founder of Allied Insight), and Kelli Schutrop (formerly Director of Sales & Marketing at PARQA now VP of Sales & Marketing at MadeCraft), all of whom bring deep and broad knowledge of the developing role of technology and evolving marketing strategy in the world of staffing. Here the group chats about how the industry has quickly switched from being somewhat tech-phobic to perhaps overeager. Some firms are beginning to put the cart before the horse, seeing technology as a performance generator rather than the performance enhancer it's designed to be. It's time, they argue, to go back to basics. Our expert five-piece chats about: The importance of finding tech that drives you toward your business goals The continued importance of processes and training in establishing a tech-friendly business base Why you should employ a quarterback to run your technology plays The effective use of goats in enhancing your personal brand The podcast will be off on winter break from December 19th to the New Year!

On this replay episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by Rich Smith, Vice President and Co-Founder of Atlas MedStaff, a healthcare staffing firm that specializes in the placement of travel nurses. Having set his company up as a predominantly remote operation a decade ago, and working in the healthcare space, Smith brings a unique perspective on the events of the last two years, from COVID to the Great Resignation. The crew take the opportunity to chat about the role of empathy in staffing - why it's important, what it looks like, and how staffing leaders can deliver it to candidates and their own teams. Smith reveals that his story - and by extension, the story of Atlas - has been shaped by a single experience that he had as a young father, and has led to a hugely successful empathetic leadership approach. Our trio also chats about: How empathy should start at the top of an organization The role of technology in building a communicative and collaborative culture Why all leaders should consider stepping into the shoes of their receptionist What a post-COVID, Great Resignation staffing industry looks like Why a trip to the office should be treated as a social occasion it is This Episode is brought to you by Able & Leap Consulting Solutions.

Now, if ever there was a musician who was entitled to say of a Bartók quartet, “This is the way it goes,” it was Robert Mann. He knew those quartets inside out, and had recorded them more than once.

In the studio with author Bob Mann, a professor who holds the esteemed Manship Chair in Journalism at the Manship School of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University (LSU), talking about his new book 'Backrooms And Bayous: My Life in Louisiana Politics' - a memoir about his long career in Louisiana politics and everything he learned along the way. Candid and introspective, Bob discusses both journalism, history and politics, including his work on Capitol Hill for Senators Russell B. Long and John Breaux; the changing political landscape; his look at Louisiana history (and the future for The Bayou State); plus the reason why he still enjoys putting in hours of archival research for each of his books - and there are many!

A LOT is written about how to be a great leader. In today's podcast, I wanted to distill this information down to the top 10 things you MUST know to be a successful leader. A reminder that I offer a monthly job search Masterclass, held on the third Thursday of the month at 4:00 p.m. Eastern. The topic is different each month, and I jam-pack them full of content. To learn about the next webinar: https://mastercoachwebinars.carrd.com  For this episode, I used an article on businessnewsdaily.com.  1.    Engage in open, honest communication.  Great leaders are able to customize their interactions and communication styles based on the situation and each team member. They take the time to figure out which communication mode is preferred by each team member, and they are great listeners who are authentically interested in their team members.  The key word here is Authenticity. It is important to be genuine and real above all else.   2.    Connect with your team members.  Building a real, personal connection with your teammates is vital to developing the shared trust necessary to build a strong culture of accountability and exceptional performance. To build a connection with each of your team members, focus on getting to know their personality, interests, strengths, weaknesses, hobbies, and preferences. This can give you insight into their goals and motivations.  3.    Encourage personal and professional growth.  Acting as your team's cheerleader is an important part of being an effective leader. You should be invested in their success and growth.A great leader invests financially and emotionally in his employees' growth. In addition to providing funds for professional development, great leaders empower their employees by giving them challenging opportunities and guidance.  4.   Keep a positive attitude. The way you handle situations – big and small – says a lot about your leadership skills. Robert Mann, author of The Measure of a Leader (iUniverse, 2013), recommended focusing on the good in any set of circumstances. "Look at three positive things about a problem before you identify what makes it dissatisfying. The more you look at the positives in a problem, the more positively people react with one another." If you or a team member notices a particular course of action you've taken that just isn't working, figure out some things you've done in the past that have worked.  5.    Teach employees instead of giving orders.An effective leader knows how to show others what is required, rather than simply telling them. If you are trying to control people to do certain things in certain ways, you're not going to get the level of engagement that you're looking for. Help the people you lead recognize the choices they have in front of them. People will then take a great deal of ownership over the direction of the project.Leaders should be teaching so they can grow new leaders to take their place. 6.    Set clear goals and expectations. When setting goals and objectives for your team members, encourage questions and feedback. Including them in the process can increase engagement.For a leader to motivate and inspire, she needs to keep her team in the know about her vision," he said. This helps employees understand the result they're working towards as a unit. Don't let team member goals go static. Periodically revisit goals to modify or rearrange them as needed. This will let your team members know that you are present and aware of what they are working on.  7.    Give direct feedback about performance.  If you're not direct, people won't know what you truly think about their work, and they will never be able to improve. If you don't know the precise direction your company is headed, no matter how much you've communicated to your employees and leadership team regarding their individual performance, they will struggle when making decisions and taking action. In addition to providing constructive feedback and performance reviews, highlight employee accomplishments. If a team member does something great, let them know. Celebrate their wins and thank them for their hard work.Acknowledging successes by outlining how it impacts the business, rather than with vague pats on the back, is not only encouraging but also helps a person work better in the long run.  8.    Ask for feedback on your leadership. In addition to feedback from your direct reports, mentors and colleagues can help you evaluate your effectiveness. Leadership coaching can also help you discover your areas for improvement and assist you in developing a plan to achieve your leadership goals.   9.    Be open to new ideas. Good leaders have the emotional intelligence to understand and accept that change is inevitable. Instead of trying to maintain a status quo just for the sake of consistency, embrace change and innovation. Be open to new ideas and alternative ways of thinking. Everyone brings a unique perspective to the table, and that is something to take advantage of, not discourage.When solving a problem, encourage team members to provide their insights. When employees feel like they can openly bring new ideas to the table, true innovation, engagement, and success can prevail.  10.Understand your own motivation. If you view your leadership role as "just a job," it's going to show. To be an effective leader, you need the right motivation. Is it the money or the prestige you care about, or do you sincerely want to inspire people to do their best?In addition to what motivates you, it is important to know what decreases your energy. Knowing your strengths and weaknesses can help you diversify your team and get a well-rounded portfolio of skills. It helps you not hire carbon copies of yourself and surround yourself with others who are not like you.Your leadership style plays a role in how you interact with employees and should be evaluated as well. The best leaders can adapt each style to their situations and employees. Remember that being a good leader takes time. Although some individuals are naturally inclined to have good leadership skills, it is something anyone can learn and improve upon. With hard work, dedication, and strategic planning, you can lead your team to success.  Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The CareerSpring document and coaching program will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2

Francesca Anderegg and Matthew McCright — Brave New Worlds: Music from the Americas (Proper Canary) Jump to giveaway form   New Classical Tracks - Francesca Anderegg by “I had carpal tunnel syndrome, so playing through the piece was really hard. Actually, some pieces we had to record in sections because I just physically couldn't play through it and have pictures of recording it,” said violinist Francesca Anderegg about recording sessions with pianist Matthew McCright. “I had bandages on my wrists. I almost couldn't do it.” She developed carpal tunnel syndrome due to her pregnancy. Fortunately, her wrists are now back to normal and all of her hard work you'll hear on her new recording, Brave New Worlds: Music of the Americas.  Can you talk about the broken social barriers and international connections the composers on this album made? “Many of these pieces were written when there was great interest in Pan-American, or a collaboration between North and South America. “Not all these composers were related to each other necessarily. I just had this idea about reaching out beyond a limited sphere and expanding your reach internationally or socially. It was this idea of expansion.” Can you talk about Alberto Ginastera's Pampeana No. 1 and how it reflects the style of his homeland? “Pampeana No. 1 is the first of a set of pieces written for various instruments. It is influenced by the Pampas, the grasslands of western Argentina. It's meant to evoke this idea of spaciousness in the music, and you can hear that in the first phrase. The violin has this soaring free rhapsodic line.” Why does this arrangement of Aaron Copeland's Duo for Violin and Piano have a special place in your heart? “My teacher, Robert Mann, had a sense of humor. When I look at this arrangement and some of the chords, especially the chords in the first movement, there's a series of three chords that sound like the last part of the piece followed by silence. Then, like nothing happened, there's another louder one followed by another even louder chord. Those chords are so true to what I knew of his sense of humor. He enjoyed music that was sometimes abrupt, a little bit funny or had a punchy quality to it. I also enjoy music when it's a little bit unexpected.” Do you think that Amy Beach's Violin Sonata would have entered the recital repertoire if it had been composed by a Central European male? “I can certainly see that, but I don't want to elevate Amy Beach by saying, ‘Oh, it's so similar to Brahms.' Being so familiar with the Brahms violin sonatas, I see a lot of commonalities there. But, Amy Beach's is technically difficult for the violin. She will just take the whole line and put it two octaves higher. “At the very end of the third movement there's a section where the whole pitch range of the piece goes higher and higher. It evaporates into a twilight texture. You have a sense that the piece is going on forever. It's a magical phrase that has many striking and deep moments.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

448. Part 2 of our interview with Bob Mann. Bob has a new memoir, Backrooms and Bayous: My Life in Louisiana Politics. State history, behind-the-scenes stories, funny anecdotes, and life lessons come together to form Robert Mann's indelible memoir about his life and career alongside some of the most powerful lawmakers in the South. Offering an in-depth, personal perspective of working in government, Mann shares the lives of major politicians and how they affected his own beliefs, eventually shifting his ideological views. Mann has known every Louisiana governor--aside from Uncle Earl--since 1944. He has interviewed past presidents, senators, and aides as a journalist and served as press secretary to two of the most influential Louisiana legislators. He acted as press secretary to the 1990 US Senate reelection campaign of J. Bennett Johnston when he defeated former Klan leader David Duke. He helped elect Mary Landrieu to the US Senate, and his engaging stories range from Russell Long's struggle with his father's past to how Mann lost John Breaux's suitcase.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by Rich Smith, Vice President and Co-Founder of Atlas MedStaff, a healthcare staffing firm that specializes in the placement of travel nurses. Having set his company up as a predominantly remote operation a decade ago, and working in the healthcare space, Smith brings a unique perspective on the events of the last two years, from COVID to the Great Resignation. The crew take the opportunity to chat about the role of empathy in staffing - why it's important, what it looks like, and how staffing leaders can deliver it to candidates and their own teams. Smith reveals that his story - and by extension the story of Atlas - has been shaped by a single experience that he had as a young father, and has led to a hugely successful empathetic leadership approach. Our trio also chats about: How empathy should start at the top of an organization The role of technology in building a communicative and collaborative culture Why all leaders should consider stepping into the shoes of their receptionist What a post-COVID, Great Resignation staffing industry looks like Why a trip to the office should be treated as a social occasion it is Check out the episode to learn more!

The Rice Association of America organized in Crowley. This week in New Orleans history. A storm, with a cold-core upper low, developed on December 11, 2012 behind the first one and spread snow across parts of the Gulf Coast states including the cities of Houston, Texas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana and New Orleans, Louisiana as well as parts of southern Mississippi. Four inches fell in Lumberton and Beaumont in southeast Texas as well as just outside the Baton Rouge area and south central Louisiana. Some areas of west-central Louisiana received as much as 6 inches, while areas just south of Jackson, Mississippi received 8 to 10 inches. It was the first snowfall for the downtown New Orleans area since 2004. This week in Louisiana. Festival of the Bonfires. The Great River Road between New Orleans and Baton Rouge can lay claim on one of the more unusual public December holiday lighting displays. It's here on the earthen levees containing the Mississippi River that local Christmas lights aren't colored bulbs, but instead dozens of 20-feet-high flaming pyramids of burning logs. The Christmas bonfires, as locals call them, are mostly teepee-shaped, but some can be odd shapes paying tribute to the river's heritage—shapes ranging from miniature plantation homes to tiny replica paddlewheel steamships. Bonfires are built by families, friends and co-workers who visit, cook and mingle between the fires. It's a local celebration with an environment akin to football tailgating, and the practice has continued for generations.    The bonfires are up and down the river, but the highest concentration is in St. James Parish, in and around Gramercy, Lutcher and Paulina. The best viewing is by car along the east- and west-bank River Roads (La. Hwys. 44 and 18, respectively) and by walking along the levees. Bonfire parties are not necessarily open to the public, but onlookers will likely be offered kind words and holiday greetings should they mingle on foot. Postcards from Louisiana.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by the triumvirate of Jeff Staats (CMO at Haley Marketing), Jeff Pelliccio (Founder of Allied Insight), and Kelli Schutrop (Director of Sales and Marketing at PARQA), all of whom bring deep and broad knowledge of the developing role of technology and evolving marketing strategy in the world of staffing. Here the group chat about how the industry has made a quick switch from being somewhat tech-phobic to perhaps overeager. Some firms are beginning to put the cart before the horse, seeing technology as a performance generator, rather than the performance enhancer it's designed to be. It's time, they argue, to go back to basics. Our expert five-piece chats about: The importance of finding tech that drives you toward your business goals The continued importance of processes and training in establishing a tech-friendly business base Why you should employ a quarterback to run your technology plays The effective use of goats in enhancing your personal brand Check out the episode to learn more.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by Scott Poeschl, Vice President of Partnerships at Avionte. Holding a position on the leading edge of staffing tech, Poeschl brings a unique level of insight on where the industry is headed and how it might get there. Here Mann, Jones and Poeschl discuss which aspects of Silicon Valley technologies staffing should aim to replicate, and which parts it should not. They look at the philosophies and technologies of Amazon, Domino's, and social media companies, and compare them to what staffing and recruiting is trying to do. And they find that our industry is in many ways a very different beast. The trio also chats about: Why firms should stop focusing on engagement, and start facilitating enablement The aspects of the Amazon and Domino's experience that apply to the candidate experience.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones are joined by Holly Cohoon, Managing Partner at Regents Consulting Group, a company that consults on the construction of human-centered tech stacks for people-focused industries. A former staffing industry executive with 20 years of experience, Cohoon offers unique insight on the technology revolution currently being seen in the staffing industry. Here Mann, Jones, and Cohoon discuss the dangers of this quick technological shift - more specifically, the mistakes firms tend to make in constructing their tech stacks. They discuss why every firm, no matter its size, can benefit from engaging with a systems integration (SI) partner who can advise on the best way to use technology to meet long-term goals. The crew also chats about: The impossibility of running a staffing business while keeping on top of technology. How even the biggest industry players have trouble understanding the best way forward with tech. The three most common tech stack missteps. The allure, and the danger, of the free tech demo.

On this episode of the You Own The Experience podcast, Robert Mann and Lauren B. Jones rap about the Great Resignation and later are joined by Anastasia Valentine, President and Managing Partner of Resource 1, an Information Technology consulting firm that provides Staff Augmentation services to corporations across North America. While a tech stack expert, Valentine took this opportunity to continue the Great Resignation conversation which is a subject that has been on the minds of employers and recruiters in recent months. Mann, Jones and Valentine share the causes behind the Great Resignation, the role of COVID in some of these contributing factors, and the opportunity that the situation presents. This isn't actually the Great Resignation, they argue, but rather the Great Migration. People aren't leaving jobs, they're switching jobs, and if your company can position itself as a destination, you have the opportunity to capitalise on the now significant supply of available talent. The trio also chats about: How the Great Resignation has been caused by a generational change in the workforce. The role of technology in offering the flexibility that today's talent is searching for. How small and minority-owned businesses could be included in the technology-driven future.

Robert Mann has dedicated his life to politics. A professor at LSU in the Manship School of Mass Communication, he is the author of numerous books about American history and politics. He now has a memoir out, Backrooms and Bayous: My Life in Louisiana Politics.  Born in west Texas, Bob moved to Louisiana as a young man. A conservative at first who had politically minded parents, he developed his writing chops as a reporter and journalism student. He learned many lessons about politics along the way and eventually got his first major job working for Senator Russell Long. Long was a Democrat and son of the notorious senator and governor Huey Long, the "Kingfish," whose shadow falls long over the state's history. Senator Long made an impression on Bob, and he is still grappling with the Long legacy in Louisiana. Louisiana has a colorful political history, from "Uncle" Earl Long to Edwin Edwards. Some figures have been sinister, such as Klansman and neo-Nazi David Duke, and Bob was on the ground floor of making sure Duke did not win a prominent seat in Louisiana government. He also worked with Kathleen Blanco, who had the misfortune of being governor during Hurricane Katrina. While a unique state in many ways, Louisiana is also reflective of American politics generally. Bob has seen many politicians come and go, which is why it's worrying that he fears for this country's political future more than ever.     Music used: "Every Man a King," originally by Huey Long, performed by Randy Newman; "Louisiana, 1927," by Randy Newman; Professor Longhair, "Go to the Mardi Gras"; and in the outro, "Iko Iko" by Dr. John.

The trio discusses the current state of cybercrime and the fact that every business, no matter the size, now finds itself firmly in the crosshairs. Vogel goes on to run through the three main steps that form a solid cybersecurity action plan: prevention, early detection, and rapid response. The crew also chats about: The three cyber hygiene practices that should form the basis of every firm's cybersecurity plan The concept of ‘offline survivability', and why it's important Why almost every enterprise business handles data breaches poorly (and how they can do better) Why feeding goats electronic components isn't an effective response to a security breach Check out the episode to learn more.

In this episode, David Folwell, President of StaffingHub, talks with Robert Mann, Enterprise Account Manager for [EmployStream](http://www.employstream.com), on the radical effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the staffing industry.

Throughout much of his career as an actor in Hollywood, Ronald Reagan identified as a passionate New Deal Democrat, yet by the time he turned to a career in politics in the 1960s he was a conservative Republican. In Becoming Ronald Reagan: The Rise of a Conservative Icon (Potomac Books, 2019), Robert Mann charts the course of his transition and explores the factors behind it. Growing up in Illinois, Reagan adopted the politics of his father Jack, an Irish Democrat who administered welfare programs during the Great Depression. As an actor Reagan became known among his peers for his passion for politics, and he often campaigned for Democrats in national elections. As Mann explains, while Reagan's time as president of the Screen Actors Guild was an important stage in his shift rightward, the key was his work in the 1950s as a spokesperson for General Electric. During his time with the famously conservative company, Reagan embraced their views and gradually crafted his presentation of them in speeches he gave throughout the country. It was a refined version of these speeches which he gave in a nationally televised address during the 1964 presidential campaign which launched his career in elected politics, one that culminated in his election to the highest office in the land less than two decades later.
