This post is about two people: one rising star and one Academy Award-winner.
It’s also about two speeches that were given about one week apart. One speech was given at a college convocation; the other at a political convention. One speech is about education; the other is about politics. One speech was given in Syracuse by Travis Mason, a government affairs analyst at Google; the other speech was given by actor/director Clint Eastwood in Tampa.
Can you guess which speech was most effective?
