Episode 816 - Ramping Up To Get Back To Business

You are going to be judged on how well you managed your business during the lockdown and what you do once the lockdown has been lifted.

Episode 817 - Do You Have A Covid-19 Business Plan?

Crisis breads conflict.  The strees of economic uncertainty and dislocation caused by CV-19 are only outpaced by the anxiety many feel for the safety of their loved ones.  In these difficult times, conflict management specialists are increasingly called upon to assist in both formal and informal ways.  Mediation works to resolve conflict.

Episode 818 - With Every Crisis Comes Conflict - Mediate

Human beings have been shut down, locked in, their homes for way too long.  Those with mental health issues have a problem.  Human beings not being able to socialize with other people have problems.  Suicides have gone up, relapse into drugs have gone up, and the mental health patients have had a problem reaching out to their mental health professional.  Lockdown is very bad for our mental and physical issues.  We need to do better, all of us need to know there are people available to talk to.  You need to reach out to people who need to talk.

Episode 819 - We Need To Talk About Mental Health With Covid-19

Everyone that has had to live through this lockdown for Covid-19 has had a lot of downtime.  How have you spent your time?  I have received many emails from people telling me how they have done things to better themselves, create cash, and by helping others.  They are amazing stories by amazing people all around the world.  Time well spent is a blessing to you and to others.  We also have the matter of politicians playing politics, Nancy is so proud of how much Ice Cream she has in her home and ignores how Americans are suffering during this shutdown.  Worse story I have ever seen is a politician having her ice cream and ignors the pain of Americans.  The most disgusting political statement ever.  Americans, small businesses, are trying to survive and ask that the economy be reopened before more harm is done to this great nation called America.  I am personally so proud of Americans who are standing up and saying, "Let me work again".   

People need to start talking again, they need that interation with people.  They need to tell their story and their pain.  I am opening my zoom line to give people the ability to talk with me from 5 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. eastern time.  Send me a text to 818.252.5682 and text "TALK" and I will respond with a time and a link to my zoom conference room and we will talk.  Open to anyone with the feeling they would like to get things off their chest.  Let's talk.

Episode 820 - What Have You Done With Your Lockdown Time?

Mr. President, reopen the economy of the nation, let small businesses and people get back to work.  Not tomorrow, today.

"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."  We have got to get back on track, the longer America is on lockdown the greater damage we do to this great nation - based on fear and panic.  Open up our nation, our economy, our businesses, our jobs today.  No more delays.  We as a nation are willing to do this together.  We are Americans.  
If you need to talk send me a text with the words "Talk" to 818.252.5682 and I will schedule time to talk between the hours of 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  www.lodge-co.com

Episode 821 - We Will Rebuild Together, Rise Up

American had a great economy.  We were at the top of the world as a global economy  We were the leaders.  Then the Corona virus came from China, China lied about the virus, WHO did nothing, and then Government paniced and the American people went into hiding in their homes.  This lockdown created a bigger economic problem that we will have to rebuilt over the coming years.  It will take time for small business to rebuild.  We allowed a virus to destroy an economy because of bad numbers going into their predictions.  Remember, first the CDC said over 2,000,000 people would die, then it went down to 200,000 and then down to 60,000, and as of today the number is way way below what was originally predicted that caused panic.  Now it is time for us to go back to opening our businesses and getting back to the task of rebuilding our economy.  If we don't do it soon even more small businesses will die.
