Retired US Navy admiral William McRaven joins Trey Elling to discuss his book, SEA STORIES: MY LIFE IN SPECIAL OPERATIONS. The conversation includes the worst part about "hell week" during his Navy SEAL training and why that experience remains so valuable, what it means to "serve", being face-to-face with Saddam Hussein following his capture, how he used the movie HOOSIERS to inspire his men before they took down Osama bin Laden, his time as chancellor of the University of Texas System, what his wife Georgeann means to him, and more.
