Cody is an American political advisor and speechwriter who served as the Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama.  Described as the "Springsteen" of Obama's White House. He helped President Obama craft remarks on every topic for every audience – from tiny backyards in Iowa to the biggest stadiums in the country; from sermons on the National Mall to the State of the Union Address.

Cody chats to us about his Irish west coast road trip and writing the perfect speech with Barack Obama. He also tells us about his upcoming memoir 'Grace', which will focus on 10 days in Obama’s presidency, during which he helped write addresses for the president dealing with everything from a public debate on the Confederate flag to Supreme Court rulings on healthcare and gay marriage.
