I was honored to have Alabama Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter on the podcast recently. He has a big title and tremendous responsibility across the entire state, but just a few minutes into our conversation, one thing became clear — this is a man who remembers where he came from and who has a deep love and respect for people from all walks of life.
In this episode, you'll hear him talk about his humble upbringing on Sand Mountain in Northeast Alabama. How a love of sports led to his being elected to the Rainsville City Council at the age of 23. How his career path pivoted from education to engineering with a job opportunity at Sand Mountain Electric Cooperative. And how he was elected to the state House of Representatives only to become the first freshman chosen by his peers as Majority Leader.
While Ledbetter still represents House District 24, which encompasses much of DeKalb County, his role as Speaker of the House carries him all over Alabama. Our conversation will open your eyes to the many great things happening in our state. Number one in America in commercial airline construction? Number one in America in exporting automobiles? In the top five in shipbuilding? Take a listen, share it with your friends, and you'll come away as proud as I did of this wonderful place we call home.
