In this first episode, Mark Block recounts how he became the first 18-year-old elected official in Wisconsin, running a campaign out of his college dorm room, organizing for Nixon with stacks of cash from Roger Stone, and clashing head-on with local unions. From door-to-door organizing in the 1970s to his early mentorship under GOP strategist John MacIver, Block walks us through a version of campaigning most people have never seen—before social media, before consultants, before data. It’s raw, old-school, and full of lessons still relevant today.
