Come Together for Global Beatles Day

A celebration of music, memory and the power of four people who changed the world. Today we honor The Beatles and the creativity that still brings us together. Today on What You Got we celebrate Global Beatles Day, a worldwide tribute to one of the most influential bands in history. As Zak shares in the transcript, “The Beatles changed music, they changed culture, they changed the way people think about creativity, unity and the power of art that brings people together.” This episode blends music, memory and mission. Zak reflects on growing up with The Beatles, the emotional connection to his father, and the way certain songs still shift his mood and bring comfort. “Anytime that I am feeling a little lonely I can throw in a Beatles album and it changes my attitude.” We also honor our Giving Partner of the Day, Frank Monteforte of FJM Life Coaching, a coach who helps people rewrite their stories and rediscover their strengths. As the transcript says, “His coaching is grounded in compassion honesty and the belief that everyone deserves a chance to grow into the best version of themselves.” And for a fun twist, we celebrate National Accordion Awareness Month, connecting it back to the Beatles early recordings and Paul McCartney’s childhood. “The accordion is one of the most expressive instruments on the planet.” Your What You Got Question of the Day What is your favorite Beatles song or Beatles memory Share it with us and tell us why it matters to you.
