Summary: Getting Elected Podcast – Episode 001 (The Mission and Me) In the first session of the Getting Elected Podcast I talk about my motivation to start Getting Elected the goals and the mission. I also spend a few minutes talking about my career in politics and my experience in the political world. Motivation If you’ve read the About Getting Elected page you’ve seen the equation for the website. Now, that the website is underway and I have been able to add content and begin growing the sites value I now feel comfortable reaching out to a potential audience and my first step is the Getting Elected podcast. Also, I love producing the show. In college I had a national award winning radio show that I had a tone of fun creating. I have been talking about starting a podcast now for five years and I finally got it going! Goals The goal of the website and the podcast are the same; to provide valuable, relevant, cutting edge content to help people get elected. In my years in politics I saw it every election cycle – qualified, engaged and passionate people losing races not because they didn't do the best job, but because they ran a less effective race. This website will be a success if I help one engaged citizen who wants to represent their community and make a positive change get elected. Mission There are so many tactics and strategies that are being used by businesses to sell products that are not being used by candidates. Working in marketing everyday I see tactics and approaches campaigns should be using but for some reason are avoiding. I’d like to share them with you! I believe if it works for businesses it should work for candidates too. I hope this site is able to provide confidence to a broad range of people and it helps elected good talent to our government.
