About this listen
As John Kennedy Jr.'s creative director for George magazine, Matt Berman had a wonderfully collaborative and fun-loving relationship with America's favorite son—his story is told here with unprecedented candor and wit.
The Kennedys—their poise, the family secrets, and their grace in the face of unimaginable tragedies—have captured the imagination and interest of the public for more than fifty years. Now colleague and friend of JFK Jr. Matt Berman offers us a unique look at John's life as both a professional and "regular guy."
When talented creative executive Matt Berman took a meeting with John Kennedy Jr. in 1995, he was immediately hired to serve as George's creative director, thus beginning an unforgettable journey, both personal and professional. We follow Matt through his first days at the magazine as he navigated the choppy waters of what would be the most-talked-about magazine launch in history, helmed by a supremely confident and charming John. Wry and instantly likable, Matt shares not only his own personal story of his relationship with John but also valuable life and work lessons that he learned while working alongside him behind the scenes at George. But most importantly, through Matt's recollections, we see a John Kennedy that the public never got to know. Matt paints a vivid portrait of JFK Jr. that only a select few have ever seen, offering a touching and honest tribute to John's legacy.

Story
From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor first arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother, the Astor name occupied a unique place in American society. The family fortune, first made by a beaver trapping business that grew into an empire, was then amplified by holdings in Manhattan real estate. Over the ensuing generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society and inserted themselves into political and cultural life, but also suffered the most famous loss on the Titanic.

By the time Wendy Lawless turned 17, she'd known for quite some time that she didn't have a normal mother. But that didn't stop her from wanting one.... Georgann Rea didn't bake cookies or go to PTA meetings; she wore a mink coat and always had a lit Dunhill plugged into her cigarette holder. She went through men like Kleenex, and didn't like dogs or children. Georgann had the ice queen beauty of a Hitchcock heroine and the cold heart to match.

Established in Detroit in 1850, by 1984 the Stroh Brewing Company had become the largest private beer fortune in America and a brand emblematic of the American dream itself; while Stroh was coming of age, the Stroh family fortune was estimated to be worth $700 million.

Extraordinary book! Absolutely loved every second of this story. Every detail, every moment, every word was so vividly described! You can imagine every person, place and thing happening from the detailed descriptions. Reading or listening to this book you can envision the events, the characters and locations. You don't have to know anything about politics to enjoy this book. If you love fashion, celebrities, and pop culture you will LOVE this book. Well done Matt Berman!

A touching and poignant memoir
Having just finished Billy Noonan’s self-serving, tasteless book, “Forever Young,” that really was more about Billy then John- I craved something kind and real. This book was it. Matt did a wonderful job of capturing John’s essence while also paying tribute to beautiful Carolyn. It was sweet...it had great stories... it didn’t try to disparage them in their deaths (like Billy’s did). I highly recommend!!!!

Interesting look at the businessman
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely. It touches on a more human side of JFK, Jr. that some may have forgotten while remembering the icon.
What was one of the most memorable moments of JFK Jr., George & Me?
The visit to Barbara Streisand's house.
Which scene was your favorite?
Presenting George Washington's sword like it's no big deal.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
He knew everybody but he was just John.
Any additional comments?
You also get some insight on his wife. The press had her all wrong. Not an ice queen. Mistakes were made, but they all worked hard on George. John wasn't perfect but this book told me he was everything I thought he'd be; and the good outweighed the bad tenfold.
