This week, in episode 100, two years after the pandemic first hit, Shawn Busse, Jay Goltz, and Liz Picarazzi talk about what they\u2019ve learned, what they\u2019re doing differently, and whether their businesses have gotten weaker or stronger. Leading up to the pandemic, Shawn\u2014still carrying scars from the Great Recession\u2014did a series of workshops on how to prepare for the next recession. \u201cAnd so in that regard,\u201d he tells us, \u201cwe were really well prepared\u201d for the pandemic. Plus: public companies are increasing prices aggressively and then bragging on earnings calls about the extra profits those increases are generating. Is there a lesson in this for privately-owned businesses? Also: why does Jay seem more invested in his picture frame business than in his home furnishings business?
