Radio Show: Coronavirus and Your Money Continued
Yes, it’s another show dedicated to answering your coronavirus related money questions. As previously mentioned, it’ll be like this until the emails slow down, which does not appear to be happening anytime soon.
In hour two, in an effort to bring something positive to the table, we’re re-airing an interview we did back in 2017 with retired Admiral William “Bill” McRaven.
If Bill’s name sounds familiar, it is likely because he was the leader that presided over the 2011 Navy SEAL raid, which resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. Bill was the man who identified the body when it was flown back to Afghanistan and told President Obama that the U.S. finally had their guy.
A few years later in 2014, the four-star admiral and 37-year Navy SEAL veteran delivered the commencement speech at his alma mater, the University of Texas at Austin (Hook ‘em Horns!). Little did McRaven know that his address, which spoke to how students could overcome challenges and change themselves, would become a viral hit with nearly 25 million views online.
In January, 2015 Bill became the Chancellor of the entire University of Texas system and was encouraged to expand his commencement speech into a book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World.
