A Look "Inside Georgia: Politics, Power & the Future of the Peach State" with Phil Kent

Whether you love politics, hate politics, or simply wonder what’s really going on behind the headlines, today’s episode is one you’re going to find fascinating.

My guest is Phil Kent, a man who has spent decades at the center of Georgia’s political, business, and media landscape. He’s the publisher of James Magazine⁠, CEO of InsiderAdvantage Georgia⁠, and a familiar face to many as a longtime panelist on the popular television program Georgia Gang.

Over the course of his career, Phil has worked in Washington, D.C., served as press secretary to U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond, spent decades in journalism, and built relationships with many of the political and business leaders who have helped shape Georgia into one of the most influential states in America.

And make no mistake, Georgia matters!

From high-profile Governor and Senate races, to economic development, technology, agriculture, tourism, and the rapid growth transforming communities across the state, Georgia often finds itself at the center of national conversations. The decisions being made today will influence the future of our state for years to come.

In this conversation, we’ll talk about the origins of James Magazine, how Georgia politics has evolved over the years, what Phil sees on the horizon for upcoming elections, and why the Peach State continues to attract businesses, investment, and attention from around the country.

We’ll also pull back the curtain a bit on the world of political journalism and commentary, and maybe even find out what really happens when the cameras stop rolling on Georgia Gang.

So whether you’re a political junkie, a business leader, or simply a Georgian who wants to better understand where our state is headed, settle in, because today, we’re going beyond the headlines and talking with someone who’s spent a lifetime helping write them!
