Recession? Fear Not!

My Job Here Is Done - Career Success Podcast

WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TODAY? Recessions and the adverse effect they can have on unprepared businesses. Thankfully, on average, recessions last less than a year and rear their ugly head only once every 5-6 years. Recessions are always temporary, and survivable, but you plan way ahead. Plus, that planning will help your business in the long run and during the good times too.

WHAT TOPICS DO WE COVER?

* Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with panic messages.

WHAT’S THE TAKE-AWAY?

WHO ARE DAVE AND KELLI?

An entrepreneur and intrapreneur duo with street smarts, ‘preneurial’ chops, and a penchant for storytelling.

Dave and Kelli met as teenagers and have a life-long story of their own. They took separate and contrasting career paths, both struggling with the challenges of business and celebrating their career successes differently.

Kelli, who “worked for the man like a dog for decades,” and Dave, who “started or ran businesses all of his life,” quickly realized there may be substantial value for others based on those combined experiences. The “My Job Here Is Done” Podcast is the result.
