Wondering how the best and brightest leaders emerge in any organization? Whether you’re running a business or just your household, we all need leadership skills, and today’s guest focuses on on great leader, Walt Disney, on today’s podcast. Today we’ll sit down with Pat Williams, motivational speaker, author, and co-founder of the NBA Orlando Magic franchise. Pat combines his decades of management experience with the leadership lessons from the visionary animator to provide you with relevant and practical lessons on how to lead in the modern workplace. Our talk with Pat begins at the 30:49 mark.

Plus, during our headlines segment, we’ll take a call from Leo Acheson, associate director of multi-asset and alternative strategies team at Morningstar, about the company’s newest report on the state of health savings accounts. HSAs have changed a lot since we last spoke with Leo a year ago, and we’ll ask him about improvements in the industry and which plans are the best accounts you should be watching out for. We’ll begin our headlines segment at the 5:15 mark.

Later we’ll throw out the Haven Life Line to Julie, who’s found herself with a few hundred dollars that she wasn’t expecting. What’s the best way Julie could invest this small, one-off windfall?

Of course, we’ll save some time for Doug’s trivia.

Here’s an excerpt of our interview with Pat where he describes “leadership in a nutshell”:

Seven things one must do to be a leader right and true:

Have vision that is strong and clear. Communicate so they can hear. Have people skills based in love, and character that’s far above. The competence to solve and teach. And boldness that has fearless reach. A serving heart that stands close by to help assist and edify.
