What a Stud!

And you thought graduation speeches were snoozers....

Not this one, which Navy Admiral William H. McRaven delivered to the 2014 graduating class at the University of Texas at Austin. You can watch all 20 minutes by clicking this link "Admiral McRaven's Graduation Speech," and I suggest that you do so; to see what all the buzz is about.

In case you don't know, Admiral McRaven, a UT grad as, disclaimer, am I, is also a Navy Seal, the ninth commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command, and commander of the operation that got bin Laden.

Inc. Magazine rated it the best graduation speech in the country, and the comment posted by one observer "What a Stud!" sums it up in the best sense of the word.

P.S. From LodeStar's point of view, it's hard to create a more memorable delivery. Besides the obvious, there are things you might not be aware of that he is doing that contribute to his success. If you'd ever like to learn more about delivering a great talk on any level for any audience, let's talk.
