Nate’s Notes 146: IRS Special Agent Richard Littrell | Watch Out For Yourselves & Others

Thanks for listening to this episode of Meikles & Dimes with Special Agent Richard Littrell.

I’m grateful to Richard and the work he does to not only help us fund our government, but also to help maintain a level playing field for all of us.

I was intrigued by how important it is for Richard to continuously learn new things in order to keep up with the criminals. And I still think it’s wild how quickly he went from KU student to investigating some of the most powerful people at KU.

Lastly, I appreciated his advice to watch out not only for ourselves but also for others, to make sure they’re not being victimized, especially given how rampant fraud is.

Watch out for others.

It’s a simple idea. Please take it seriously.
