In 2014 Admiral William McRaven addressed the University of Texas's graduating class. In his commencement speech he shared with them lessons that he has learned along his journey. These lessons are valuable to each and everyone of us. They can be applied to our personal lives and our lives within the classroom. This commencement speech has been viewed over 14 million times on youtube and has been turned into a book.  This episode takes a look at a few of these lessons and how as educators we can use them to bring out the best in us, our colleagues, and our students.
