Coronavirus: Rezdora Part One Aug 08, 2020

Show notes

Small businesses have been decimated by the pandemic, and perhaps no industry has been impacted more than the hospitality industry, especially in cities like New York.

According to a recent survey, more than 80% of restaurants and bars in the Big Apple couldn’t pay their rent in July.

One of those restaurants fighting to survive is Rezdora, an Italian restaurant in New York City's Flatiron neighborhood that was put on the map after a three-star review in the New York Times.

Chef and co-owner Stefano Secchi joins us on the podcast this weekend to discuss what he's doing to try and survive the pandemic, as well as his thoughts on the future of the hospitality industry once the pandemic passes.

Apologies in advance if this interview leaves you hungry and looking for reservations the next time you visit the NYC!

Coronavirus: Workplace Diversity Part Two Aug 02, 2020

Show notes

If the pandemic has acted as an accelerant to business trends, it has also become an accelerant to inequality.

Last year, before the onset of coronavirus, the Census Bureau found income inequality was at its highest level in 50 years, with two-thirds of the total wealth in the country owned by the richest 5-percent.

Meanwhile, 4 out of 10 American adults said they would have difficulty covering a $400 unexpected expense, more than 38 million Americans are living in poverty, and more than 14 million children went hungry last month.

When discussing these facts and figures, it is important to remember that there are people behind the numbers.

To do a deeper dive with us on this topic, we're joined by Dane Holmes, co-founder and CEO at Eskalera, a diversely founded company, committed to providing employees and managers with the knowledge and skills to build a more inclusive culture and helping organizations drive systemic and sustainable change.
