"Something To Talk About" Episode #444: Have A Bad Boss? There's an App for That! - with William Craig Reed

Bonnie D. Graham welcomes William "Bill" Craig Reed, via the magic of Skype.

Bill is the NYTimes bestselling author of the non-fiction book, "Red November: Inside the Secret U.S. – Soviet Submarine War" (HarperCollins, 2010) and the novel, "The Eagle and the Snake: A SEAL Team Six Interactive Thriller" (Diversion 2012).

Based on his years of management consulting experience observing workplace dynamics, Bill created a Bad Boss mobile app that leverages neuroscience personal profiles to help solve boss-employee issues. The free app enables you to create a personalized ebook ($1.95) with tips to create positive interactions with your boss.

Bill is now writing the non-fiction book, "Cold War III: How the U.S. Navy Can Defeat Putin and Stop Climate Change."

A U.S. Navy diver, submariner, and photographer aboard nuclear fast-attack submarines based in San Diego, Bill earned commendations for completing secret missions during the Cold War, several in concert with Navy SEAL teams. He serves on the Board of Directors for http://US4Warriors.org non-profit veteran’s assistance foundation, and is an Executive Director for the San Diego Military Book Fair (http://militarybookfair.org), to be held aboard the USS Midway museum on Nov. 8, 2014 featuring top authors, movie stars, and medal of honor recipients - all to benefit veterans.
