In honor of the Memorial Day holiday, we're once again re-airing an interview we did back in 2017 with retired Admiral William “Bill” McRaven. If Bill's name sounds familiar, it's because he presided over the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. 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. Little did McRaven know that his address, which spoke to how students could overcome challenges and change themselves, would become a viral hit with 20 million views online. McRaven was eventually encouraged to expand his commencement speech into a book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World. Have a money question?

We've got another great episode with a returning guest. And another big screw up by a returning screw up. That's right, the Hegseth hits keep coming and at this point it's a little hard to tell which one is the worst. From Signalgate to the briefing of Elon on our China war plans (remember that one?!) to a latest Signal chat group which includes his wife in briefings of the most top secret nature possible. It's another day, another fiasco for the world's worst SECDEF. Trump's first hundred days have seen countless terrible days for Pete Hegseth. And therefore, for all of us.  And Paul's gonna take you on a walk through midtown Manhattan and into Central Park on a beautiful spring evening to tear into all of. Including the latest on Ukraine, why the DOJ is being weaponized in a whole new way, why Saquon Barkley is off our Christmas card list and why conspiracy peddling Laura Loomer decided to attack Paul on Twitter/X/Elon's demented digital playpen.  And we've got a fantastic returning guest to break it all down.

Michael welcomes Admiral William McRaven with his book "Conquering Crisis: Ten Lessons to Learn Before You Need Them." The retired Naval officer and bestselling author tells stories from his life and career that illustrate the principles of effective leadership during times of crisis. Throughout his 40-year career, Admiral McRaven has experienced every manner of calamity imaginable. From managing failed hostage rescues to responding to student unrest, McRaven has learned how to successfully navigate crises—those moments that push the limits of your experience and challenge your confidence, when leadership skills alone may not be enough. Original air date 29 April 2025. The book was published on 22 April 2025.

President Donald Trump's multi-front attempt to remake America and the world is meeting with mixed success. His administration has ended the crisis at the border and is aggressively moving against illegal migrants. But elsewhere the picture is murky. The war in Ukraine rages on, the Middle East continues unsettled and above all, his restless back-and-forth on tariffs and international economics is causing profound damage to faith in U.S. economic stability. And some of his actions suggest an authoritarian style inimical to American values.   On this episode of Free Expression, Gerry Baker sits down with Admiral William McRaven, former head of US special operations, to discuss Trump's leadership. McRaven draws on the themes of his new book, "Conquering Crisis: 10 Lessons to Learn Before You Need Them," to assess the first 100 days of Trump's second term, but also the wider challenges of leadership in crisis.

With Phoenix (the man not the ship) exploded, our heroes continue their way through the Palace to shut off the defenses. But, they seem to have lost track of McRaven and the rest of the crew. How will our heroes fair now that they don't have to babysit some NPCs? How does Claire feel about Marcus trying to protect her? And what does Micah think about Nona trying to get a piggyback ride from an inquisitor? It only gets more dangerous from here!

He’s known as the military man whose commencement speech about making your bed every day got 100 million views online. But retired Navy Seal Admiral William McRaven shares another lesson just as compelling. During a military operation in the Middle East, McRaven has sadly acknowledged that several members of an innocent family were mistakenly killed. Believing the family was owed a sincere apology, McRaven dared to ask the heartbroken father for forgiveness. “I’m a soldier,” McRaven told him, “but I also have children. I know how difficult this would be for me if this tragedy happened to my children.” The man’s response? He granted McRaven the generous gift of forgiveness. As the man’s surviving son told him, “We accept your apology, and we will have no more hatred in our hearts for you.” The apostle Paul wrote of such generous grace: “As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience” (Colossians 3:12). He knew that life would test us in various ways, so he instructed believers in the church at Colossae: “Forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you” (v. 13). What enables us to have such compassionate, forgiving hearts? God’s generous love. As Paul concluded, “Over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity” (v. 14).

The Phoenix Pham are prepped and ready to ambush this convoy. The plan is set, the team is in place, and the convoy is approaching. With a cocktail of drugs in their system, will our heroes be able to rescue the McRaven along with the other political prisoners? Will Micah and Skye confront one another? And does this make us pirates?

Episode 65. How do the capital allocators, technicians, government leaders, and operators take the country forward? In this special episode of All Quiet, Tyler joins ADM (ret) William H. McRaven, Matt Bigge (Partner, Crosslink Capital), and Shyam Sankar (CTO, Palantir) for the SCHOOLHOUSE Opening Night panel to discuss the profound impact of government policies, the spirit of entrepreneurship, and the lessons drawn from history on modern defense strategies. What's Happening on the Second Front:Bridging Technology and Policy in DefenseCultural and Historical Influences on Defense InnovationLeadership Dynamics in Evolving Defense OrganizationsFuture Prospects: Optimism in Technological and Generational ChangesConnect with Matt:• LinkedIn: Matt BiggeConnect with Shyam:• Linkedin: Shyam SankarConnect with Tyler:• LinkedIn: Tyler Sweatt• Website: Second Front

Our heroes have finally started preparing for the event we have all been waiting for: bringing back the McRaven. The information is good and now it's just a matter of getting folks in the right positions and making one decisive strike. What lies in store for the Phoenix Pham on this ambush? Can the McRaven actually be saved? And who is that that just teleported in with Zuri right in the middle of our dinner? He seems like a drama bitch.

The Phoenix Pham are in a sticky situation. They have the data they came for, but now some Inquisitors stand in their way and one of them is Micah's sister Skye. Will our heroes be able to complete their perfect infiltration? Will the still be able to ambush McRaven's prison transfer? And, most importantly, will Micah be able to keep her cool?

We find our intrepid heroes planning a heist of a Silence Operations base. While not being known as the "stealthy types", this task has been given to them and the reward is solid information on the transport carrying the McRaven. Will the Phoenix Pham find their way through the base without arising suspicion? What obstacles will they have to navigate? And what kind of callsigns are Wyvern and Goose?

The guys discuss Mississippi's most haunted house...McRaven House!!!

Unlocking Excellence: Read to Lead Better, Learn to Grow Faster These are two powerhouse books that capture the journey of leadership. These two books are distinctly different, but both reflect our focus on school leaders' need to Navigate the Seas of School Leadership. Joe recommends, Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations, which is an autobiographical book by Admiral William H. McRaven, a retired Navy SEAL and former commander of the United States Special Operations Command. The book is a firsthand account of Admiral McRaven's remarkable military career, spanning from his childhood, the early days in training, to his experiences leading special operations missions. The narrative is filled with anecdotes and insights into the world of special operations, offering readers a glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned in high-stakes environments. It's an amazing exploration of leadership, resilience, and the values that underpin success in the most demanding situations. The book not only shares the author's personal journey but also imparts valuable leadership lessons that can be applied in various contexts, making it a great recommendation for school leaders who are navigating their own challenges. T.J. recommends, Working Backwards: Insights, Stories, and Secrets from Inside Amazon, a book written by Colin Bryar and Bill Carr, former executives at Amazon. The book provides a unique insider's perspective on Amazon's culture, leadership principles, and business strategies. In "Working Backwards," the authors share anecdotes and insights based on their experiences working with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. The book covers Amazon's customer-centric approach, decision-making processes, and the principles that have contributed to the company's success. It also offers valuable lessons for leaders and businesses seeking to adopt Amazon's innovative practices. What You'll Learn in this Episode with Joe & T.J. Joe reveals that his mentor and friend, Dr. Steven Godowsky, originally shared this book with him knowing his interest in leadership perspectives from the military. Listen to Joe describe how Admiral McRaven structures the book to capture the intention of the reader. Joe also emphasizes how Sea Stories covers McRaven's career. Too often leadership books don't chronicle the journey of a leader and the many different leadership positions that an individual may hold. This book does! Who doesn't want a look inside Amazon? Listen to T.J. describe why he likes this book and why he recommends it to school leaders. T.J. describes how these gentlemen detail their work within Amazon and the lessons that can be learned for leaders. You don't want to miss how the authors describe working for Jeff Bezos. Let us know what you're reading by contacting us at contact@theschoolhouse302.com. And don't miss our leadership newsletter every week by subscribing on the site. We can't wait to hear from you.

Tonight, Lauren and Kenzie travel to the crooked letter state of Mississippi. First, Lauren tells us the tale of the most haunted house in Mississippi, the McRaven House, and the mayhem that occurs throughout its history. Then, Kenzie brings us the *insane* case of James Billiot, or Machiavelli, or Jesus, or maybe even Attila the Hun, and we try to unravel the madness surrounding this case. The Devil didn't go to Georgia, he went to Mississippi.--Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl--Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

We're going full haunted house in this episode! The McRaven House in Vicksburg, Mississippi is old — very, very old. Its first two rooms were built over 200 years ago in 1797, with the rest of the house to follow in the years 1836 and 1849. Today, you can find it just off the end of a residential road, surrounded by trees and foliage that once loomed so close to the property that vines broke into two upstairs windows.Domineering former owners and playful ghost boys are said to roam the halls. But no spirit is more present than Mary Elizabeth Howard, the mischievous yet melancholic teenager who died in child birth. At the end of every haunted episode, we both rate how haunted we personally think the location is. And if you're a frequent listener, you know we aren't afraid to give a low rating and be honest with our thoughts. We both rated this one very, very highly.But first, Zoey is here with her Something Southern: snack goodies from the Charleston City Market!

*Admiral William McRaven belongs to the US military elite, a Four-Star Admiral who was tasked with some of the country's most crucial missions. *He hopes his true stories of perseverance, determination, and valor against all odds during his time as a United States Navy SEAL will inspire others to overcome their own challenges. *McRaven came face to face with high-profile war criminals such as Saddam Hussein, and inevitably lost friends and brothers-in-arms in the line of duty. *Through his strict principles of self-discipline, grit, and a stubborn refusal to quit, McRaven advanced and succeeded.

What a surprise indeed; who would've thought we would have found ourselves here on a Monday? Definitely not us, but now that Kelsey is done being sick (again) we decided to play a little game of catch up in Mississippi. A silly little stroll turns deadly, heartbreak after what supposed to the happiest moment of a parents life, loss of life way too soon, oh and a war. This house has seen it all, so let's hear about the ghosts it's left behind. Maybe we'll even discuss the ghosts in our own home ...   Donate monthly here: https://www.patreon.com/orsotheysaypod Or a once off here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T22PHA8NAUTPN  And don't forget to swing by here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/orsotheysaypod/shop

The McRaven House of Vicksburg, Mississippi has earned a national reputation for the amount of paranormal activity said to occur there. The home was said to be first built in 1797 as the hideout for a notorious highwayman. Over the next 220+ years, McRaven was expanded twice, survived the brutal Siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War, served as a hospital during that same conflict, and been a home to numerous families. Largely unchanged since the additions were constructed, each section of McRaven House: Pioneer, Empire, and Greek Revival, remain excellent examples of the architecture and lifestyle of the time that they were constructed. This feat is so unique that in 1963 National Geographic Magazine did a feature on the home, calling it a “Time Capsule of the South.”  Today open to the public for tours, McRaven House serves as one of the most complete and well-preserved homes in Vicksburg from the antebellum era.

In honor of the Memorial Day holiday, we're giving you a break from the money talk, and instead re-airing an interview we did back in 2017 with retired Admiral William “Bill” McRaven. If Bill's name sounds familiar, it's because he presided over the 2011 Navy SEAL raid that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. 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. Little did McRaven know that his address, which spoke to how students could overcome challenges and change themselves, would become a viral hit with more than 16 million views online. McRaven was eventually encouraged to expand his commencement speech into a book, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World. Have a money question?
