Linda McMahon, who now serves as the administrator of the Small Business Administration under President Donald Trump, recently spoke with The Washington Post to talk about various topics. Here are the highlights:
Lessons she learned in WWE that prepared her for SBA administrator:
“When WWE started, it was primarily the live event business and we expanded it to licensing, to music to publishing to pay-per view and to networks. I created and grew a business. I understand what businesses go through, the ups and downs, the good cycles and the bad cycles. I learned about strict cash management, the impact of regulations and the need for providing health-care insurance to employees. I have walked the walk and talked the talk of our small business communities, so I can really be a strong advocate on their behalf.”
Her favorite sport:
“Well, professional wrestling is an entertainment product. For pure sport as a spectator, I like the pace of basketball.”
