We have three important guests joining the pod today and they will share their expertise and insights on the crisis at hand. Mike Whatley from the National Restaurant Association will update us on how the industry is managing through the public policy aspects of the crisis and how they are interacting with lawmakers at all levels of government to protect the industry. And Chris Burgoyne from the American Hotel & Lodging Association will join us to discuss the challenges facing that part of the hospitality sector, the latest on what is happening on Capitol Hill and what we can expect going forward. And Michael Halen from Bloomberg Finance stopped by the pod to discuss the current and future financial status of the industry and the grim challenges being faced by corporate leaders across the industry. We’ll discuss all of that and look ahead to what may be coming next.
