🎙️ Gov360 – Episode 1: A Time to Come Together
Host: Chris Mann | City Manager, Public Affairs Pro, Award-Winning Communicator
Welcome to the first-ever episode of Gov360 - Your Full Circle View on Local Government.
In this solo kickoff, host Chris Mann delivers a raw, honest reflection on what it really means to lead in local government today.
This episode isn’t about policy updates or process checklists - it’s about the human side of public service. The pressure. The politics. The isolation. The moments of quiet impact that never make the headlines.
Chris shares his personal journey through city leadership - from being elected to a city council at 23, to serving as a city manager in California - and lays out a bold new vision for how we talk about leadership in the public sector.
🎯 In this episode:
• Why Gov360 was launched - and what makes it different
• The communication crisis in local government (and what to do about it)
• The silent toll of public sector executive-level leadership
• Why podcasts like this are essential in today’s civic landscape
• A call for unity, vulnerability, and peer support in the profession
If you’re a city manager, department head, mid-level leader, or elected official, this podcast was built for you.
Real conversations. Real challenges. Real leadership.
