0:00.0 | Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is |
0:04.9 | for busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran. |
0:09.5 | That's why NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course |
0:13.7 | options, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and |

1:38.7 | nowadays. I like what you get going on there. Well, yeah, I don't know if you've been keeping up |
1:43.5 | with the show if we've talked lately, but I'm in a little bit of a kerfluffle with the FAA, |
1:48.4 | so I figure if I'm not flying, I'm going to grow beard, but I don't know how people do it. It's |
