About This Episode
First things first, Linda loves giving Travis a hard time, which is hilariously pleasing to Tim (and hopefully you too!). Travis credits Linda with single-handedly saving the country during the 2008 financial crisis. While that may be a slight exaggeration, she shouldered a great deal of responsibility at the time and helped the country avoid further disaster. From working as a firefighter, to the Peace Corps and most notably in the world of finance and risk management, she has truly had an incredible life.
