A Conversation with Jean Becker and George P. Bush - a podcast by LBJ Foundation

Two years after her passing, we explore the remarkable life of former First Lady Barbara Bush with Mrs. Bush's grandson, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, who continues his family's long tradition of public service, and Jean Becker, the longtime chief of staff to George H.W. Bush, and author of the new book from those who knew and learned from Mrs. Bush titled, "Pearls of Wisdom: Little Pieces of Advice (That Go a Long Way)."

They share stories from Mrs. Bush's eventful life—from leaving a life of East Coast privilege to live next to a brothel in Odessa, Texas, as a young wife and mother, to becoming First Lady in the White House—and discuss the indelible imprint she made on the nation and on those who knew her best.
