Until this weekend I didn't know who Herman Cain was. I met him at a conference where he was giving a keynote. At the dinner before his speech I was seated next to his chief of staff who was giving me the 411 after seeing I had no clue.
I expected her enthusiasm -- after all, she is his chief of staff -- and so discounted it all as, "oh, another politician." After listening to this dynamic, articulate, and inspiration speaker, I turned to her and simply said, "now I know why you went to work for him."
He's written a book titled, "They Think You're Stupid," and you can check out his web site at www.hermancain.com. His radio program (The Bottom Line) can be accessed using that website, where he keeps the most recent 10 programs archived.
I am a bit concerned regarding his stance and rhetoric on foreign investment, but overall his perspective is refreshing. I'm fortunate to have met him - and his chief of staff.
