My guest today on Up In Your Business is known by all: Arkansas’s retired Governor Mike Beebe. Because of social distancing, this show was recorded as a telephone interview but, if I hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t know. Governor Beebe’s charm, intelligence, and likability (that made him our state’s most popular governor) came across as if we were sitting across the table from each other.
In our interview, the Governor talks about his impoverished and transient young life, his mother’s hardworking virtues, and his revolving door of stepfathers.
As they say, “Strife builds character,” and Governor Beebe has that in aces. His empathy, love of people, and willingness to work across the aisle made him an effective manager of our state and endeared him to all he worked with.
Hear Beebe’s reason for and bipartisan approach to adopting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and how his methodology has now been replicated in almost all 50 states.
