Ep208: Coronapocalypse Now

Vicky and Joe take a break from the usual format to discuss the frankly freaking weird and scary times we're living in – and decide Vicky's job is to bring a little levity to things (without making light of actual awfulness of course). Tune in and find out how working from home together is going, why they don't need to panic-buy toilet roll or vegan food, and how they're getting people together and making them uncomfortable using technology. Key Takeaways: [2:50] Vicky really likes to touch her face. [3:50] A lot of businesses aren't going to recover from this. That is absolutely terrible. [5:00] It's a zombie apocalypse. The stores are so barren. [6:15] Check on your elderly neighbors. [8:25] People in China can see the sky for the first time because there is less pollution. [12:20] Do not stop marketing! There is going to be an end to this. [14:55] So many new business services and models are going to be coming out of this. [15:55] When you get scared, you get tunnel vision. Remember that there is a way out of this, and to focus on the bigger picture. [17:20] Now is our time to help keep small businesses afloat. [19:55] How has Joe enjoyed working from home so far? [23:00] Vicky will be hosting a virtual get together. [27:15] What's the takeaway? Be kind to each other. Mentioned in This Episode: Website Vicky on Medium Order Vicky's new book!
