Update: BlogTalkRadio has selected this show to be FEATURED on "Today's Picks". Please don't miss it! http://tobtr.com/s/619640

Let me introduce you to Larry McDonald. He's a former Vice President at Lehman Brothers and has written a book: “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense: The Inside Story of the Collapse of Lehman Brothers”. Larry has been making the rounds at all the media outlets talking about his new book. I wanted to share his appearances and write ups with you because I want to give my audience a voice in my upcoming interview with him on the Get More Business Show on BlogTalkRadio.

These articles and videos are only a few minutes long, but I'm going to be spending an hour with Larry and I really want to get a deeper understanding of the factors that contributed to our current economy.

Most of us on "Main Street" have a very limited understanding of what goes on on Wall Street. That limited understanding has left us, in many cases, confused and dismayed by our current economic quagmire. It's important that all business owners educate themselves to the inter-workings of our economic system and understand the decisions that were made that resulted in the reality that we're all dealing with. Without this knowledge, we all run the risk of being mindless pawns to the system and unable to protect ourselves and our businesses.

So how can your voice be heard? My idea is to "Crowd Source" 3 questions for this interview from my audience. Please read the write ups, watch the interviews and post your best questions for Larry in the comment section below. I'll select the 3 best questions. Larry's book looks like an incredible read.

I had lunch with a retired lender today and swapped some stories about short sales, foreclosures and where it all started...the no-doc loans! In retrospect, no-doc loans should never have occurred.

Yeah, those were definitely a bad idea.  Hindsight is 20/20!

Hannah - Hopefully you'll listen to the show!  Don't be shy with any questions you have for Larry!  The questions don't have to be specific to the book.
