Make Your Bed With Admiral William H. McRaven
It's our annual Memorial Day tradition, as 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?

Do You Need a Registered Investment Advisor?
Independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are professional independent advisory firms that provide personalized financial advice to their clients, many of whom have complex financial needs. To break down all the ins and outs of RIAs, we're joined by Jon Beatty, head of Schwab Advisor Services at Charles Schwab. As Managing Director, Jon oversees the business that serves over 16,000 independent advisory firms that trust Schwab with $5.0 trillion in assets under management. You can learn more about Schwab and their support of independent financial advisors here. Schwab Advisor Services™ is a division of Schwab. Independent investment advisors are not owned by, affiliated with, or supervised by Schwab. The comments, views, and opinions expressed are those of the speakers and do not necessarily represent the views of Charles Schwab. This material is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. This should not be considered an individualized recommendation or personalized investment advice. Each investor needs to review an investment strategy for his or her own particular situation before making any investment decisions. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal, and for some products and strategies, loss of more than your initial investment. Have a money question?

The Stages of Job Loss
The sluggish employment landscape explains why workers are now “job hugging,” rather than job hopping. The challenge is to fight the urge to hunker down and instead try to be proactive and focus on what you can control. That means raise your hand for any new opportunity at your company, update your LinkedIn profile/fire up your network, and consider pursuing any side hustle that might help your cash flow and spark creativity. For those who have been unlucky enough to lose a job, know that the loss is not just financial. I reached out to business Psychologist and Executive Coach Dr. Sharon Melnick, PhD, after talking to a variety of folks who were let go recently. The author of two best-selling books, In Your Power and Success Under Stress, Sharon joins us today to discuss the various stages of job loss. Have a money question?
