Terry Szuplat | From Cape Cod to the White House

from The Creative Exchange Podcast · host Arts Foundation of Cape Cod

Terry Szuplat’s fascination with politics started with an album of JFK speeches his mom gave him as a kid. While his peers rode their bikes on the street near his East Falmouth home, Terry would listen to those speeches in his room – captivated by the cadence, the rhythm, and the poetry. It was then that the seeds for Terry’s dreams of one day becoming a presidential speechwriter were born. After eight years fulfilling that dream as a speechwriter for President Barack Obama, Terry is releasing his first book, “Say It Well,” in which he shows how anyone (yes, you!) can use their words to inspire others and bring people together.   Today's sponsors:  William Raveis Real Estate, The official real estate company of the AFCC South Shore Playhouse Associates - Also known as the Melody Tent John K. & Thirza F.
