Speaker, media curator and author A.J. Rice is the voice we didn’t know we needed.

In a political environment with minefields of taboo topics and long-held assumptions that people will punish you for challenging, it’s important to have unique voices that stand against a tidal wave of narrow-minded perspectives that, ironically enough, condemn others for ostensibly being narrow-minded.

A.J. Rice has brought his extensive media experience, seasoned wisdom, and breadth of knowledge into this minefield space with a fresh perspective.

A.J. Rice is CEO of Publius PR, a premier communications firm in Washington D.C. Rice is a brand manager, star-whisperer, and auteur media influencer who has produced or promoted high-profile Laura Ingraham, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Donald Trump Jr., Monica Crowley, Mark Meadows, Marsha Blackburn, Dan Bongino, Charles Krauthammer, and many others.

His experience in the background has given him preparation to emerge as a significant voice. Rice served as the executive producer to Laura Ingraham for four years, and Monica Crowley for two years. Following that, he produced an investigative news show at The Washington Times for John Solomon for three years called America’s Morning News, and later was brought in by Glenn Beck’s team to help launch The Blaze Radio Network. You may not know his name yet, but he’s had more of an impact than most could calculate on how conservative politics has worked.

Rice has helped authors like Donald Trump Junior surge to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. And he’s humbly played the background for a while. But he presents himself to the world in a fresh way through his new book, The Woking Dead.

It’s high time for people to resist the monolithic and intolerant voices of those who demand adherence to the religion of Wokeness, a religion that has spawned an army of zombies of sorts, Rice’s work explains. 

One thoughtful review explains, “A.J. Rice steps out from behind the curtain to reveal what he’s been up to, and to show what it will take to save America from the woke zombie hordes on our campuses, dominating Twitter, and increasingly lurking in every HR department in the country – all the way up to the Pentagon.”

In today’s extraordinarily self-centered culture where people try to leap frog the steps required to create enduring impact, Rice is a rare example of a leader who has humbly played the background for many years, helping others to shine and let their gifts come to fruition such that even if you don’t know him you probably know his work. Now, he takes thoughts and observations that have been marinating for years and lays them out in a clever, hilarious way. Fighting against it requires tactics and tools we must cultivate. The Woking Dead tells us how.
