White marble floors and venerable oak-wood walls encapsulate the conference space off of
the main offices for our Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe. He is one of fifty nationwide, a
man who wields vast amounts of power and influence. He is a man who appeared to me to be
in total control and yes, well healed. And now, the people of the great state of Arkansas
have a great leader at the helm. |

The quest for leading and guiding the people began centuries ago, from the starts of our
first organized civilizations, man quested for leadership, and somewhere it is written
that the “cream always rises to the top.” Mike Beebe is the cream of the
political roundtable for the state of Arkansas. He is truly an inspired and top notch
Chief Executive. As our statewide leader Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe is steering our
state to a very successful future. |

This article is a follow up and subsequent report to an exclusive statewide broadcast
featuring our governor Mike Beebe. The interview was taped in April of this year and
broadcast statewide on three Arkansas based major networked television affiliates. It
allowed me to report to you on the experience of interviewing a sitting governor, and to
tell his story of rising to stardom. I also reported to you some of the finer points of
his plans for reform and change. |

however, I offer some of the highlights from the televised portion of the interview. I
will also share with you some of my personal insights from interviewing a highly
successful, powerful, and motivated statewide leader (with worldly leader qualities). This
article only covers portions of the interview that made it to the airways, there were tons
more which unfortunately had to be left on the cutting room floor. Please enjoy. |

Never has it felt so good being in the passenger’s seat than right now. If
you’re like me, you don’t mind an occasional easy ride. But this is not about

the top down no less. Recently, this past April, I was granted a once in a lifetime
opportunity to sit down with an active governor for the first time in an exclusive
statewide televised interview. |

Returning to my earlier metaphor there is just something about Governor Mike Beebe that
puts the mind at ease knowing that the right person is at the wheel driving our great
state to a better and more prosperous future. Since our interview was... |
