EP. 69 - An SBA employee breaks down programs available during the COVID-19 pandemic

To put it plainly, COVID-19 is screwing over many people. Companies are going under. People are losing their jobs. We’re all stuck inside. We’re wearing masks everywhere we go. It all can seem so defeating. The government is working to provide Americans with resources so we can weather the storm. I spoke with Jamye Pritchett Solorzano of the SBA about programs and resource partners available to small businesses, independent contractors, and the self employed to get through these tough times.
