Last night, GraniteGrok was invited to #5 in the Beyond The Soundbite Lecture Series (sponsored by the NH Leadership PAC and RNC Chairman Chris Ager). I was happy to see fellow Groksters Rick Olsen, Beth and Steven Scaer, Don Ewing , Ken Ewing, Tom Murray along with Ray Cardello (and meeting him in person for the first time after writing for the ‘Grok for some time now!).
The speaker of the night was Vivek Ramaswamy – a first generation American, son of legal immigrants from India. A serial entrepreneur, he was the CEO of a large biotech company and is now the head of Strive, a financial services company he founded a year ago. Add to that, his book named “Woke, Inc” that blows the whistle on “Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam”.
Sidenote: for full disclosure, I had the chance to chat with Vivek for a few minutes before the event started. He offered, and I accepted, a signed copy of his book. I haven’t begun to read it YET but will be putting up some quotes later on.
So here are Parts 1A and 1B along with an introductory video for Vivek supplied by his staff member Tricia.
Part 1A – newly elected NH GOP Chair Chris Ager calls the event to order, the Pledge of Allegiance:
And then introduces a “video introduction” to the speaker – Vivek Ramaswamy:
And the rest: Part 1B (jump to 5:40 to skip the segments shared above)
Subsequent Parts will be available soon along with the Q&A session.
