Dayna Steele & Scott Schroder
Dayna Steele and Scott Schroder are the authors of 101 Ways to Rock Running for Office. Running for office is one of the most patriotic things you can do for your community and for your country. However, most citizens don’t because they don’t know where to start. Here’s a guide to get you started from student council to the US Congress, a must-read for every wanna-be candidate and organizer. Dayna Steele is a rock Radio Hall of Famer, successful entrepreneur, creator of the Rock Star Principles podcast, author of numerous books, motivational keynote speaker, and was the 2018 Democratic candidate for the Texas 36th congressional district. Scott Schroder served as Dayna’s “body man” during her 2018 run for Congress in Texas, and prior to that, was politically active in college while attending the University of Mississippi as a political science major.
In today’s episode, Dayna and Scott share their journey working together during Dayna’s run for Congress in 2018 and how they came together to write their book, 101 Ways to Rock Running for Office. Early on in her campaign Dayna was introduced to Scott, who became her “body man” during her run for Congress, the person who is with you all the time. Scott is a political junkie, a savant on all things political, and he was her joy throughout the campaign. Throughout they were a good team, and they never ran out of anything to talk about. Dayna and Scott reflect on the highs and the lows of the campaign, their big takeaways, and their story and conversation will leave you smiling, laughing, and reflecting on the powerful relationships in your life and the impact they’ve had on you.
“[Running for U.S. Congress] was such a great civics lesson for me, and I would love to see so many more people do this. That’s where the book came from!”
“They were over the moon that we cared. Like them, we were trying to make the world just a little better in the ways that we could.”
