    Retail Business In A Global Pandemic (S02-E01)

    In a one-in-a-century global pandemic some businesses were hit hard that they permanently close and some made billions in all types of business sectors. Retail business sector was no difference, we saw big retailers making more money than ever while small and medium retailers mostly suffer much to survive or even close because of the lockdowns. Yet, that wasn’t the major rule to all SMB and local retailers. We saw some survive fine, some with slight improvement and some with even better success than ever before. Yet, the story is not finished. Now that we’re expected to be done from the pandemic by the end of 2021, we’re going into a new norm. Life might get back to some of the old normal but a lot of things are going to change, and they’ll change for ever. We might not know exactly what it will look like but when it comes to business, we definitely know it will change forever. In this episode we concentrate on the retail business especial local SMB.

    Capitol Hill Riots January 6th, 2021 (S02 - Special Episode)

    On a day that will mark US history as one of the darkest days, a group of Pres. Trump supporters rioted the Capitol Hill building on the day that the congress was set to certify the presidential election that Joe Biden won on Nov. 3rd, 2020 in a violent attempt to overturn his defeat. After breaching multiple police perimeters, they occupied, vandalized, and ransacked parts of the building for more than four hours. The insurrection, that was infuriated by Pres. Trump himself weeks before and in a rally right before it happened, led to the evacuation and lockdown of the Capitol building and disrupted a joint session of Congress assembled to count the electoral votes and formalize Joe Biden's election victory. The result of that riot was a significant damage to the capitol building, looting of many properties including two laptops one of which belongs to the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi that contains high classified government data, the delay of one of the most important Democratic processes in the USA and most importantly the loss of 5 lives including one of the Capitol’s Police officers and one rioter who was a decorated US veteran. In that dark day we witnessed the US democracy being under siege and the fire and fury of what words can do beyond being just tweets and social posts.

    There is no doubt that COVID-19 pandemic caused the worst economic crisis in the history of modern humanity. Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed permanently, millions are suffering and are on the edge of collapse, small business owners lost their life work, some even lost their lives, because of this. Yet, the pandemic also raised a lot of chances and opportunities for growth in the new circumstances of what is becoming a “new norm”. Suffice to say that those defied technology and transform their businesses into the new technical atmosphere were left behind to close or suffer a lot while those who rode the new wave survived and even flourished. Yet, no good deed goes unpunished. As businesses, and governments, moved more toward technology the chances of being exposed to digital attacks rose up to the roof and created a new gigantic challenge in a world that is already tackling the biggest challenges in history.

    Personal Health and Wellness (S01 - E14)

    We are the 21st Century and while recording this episode we were in the middle of a global pandemic that affected over 10 million people around the world and the numbers were still skyrocketing. In such dire conditions we have to take our health seriously more than ever. Now with COVID-19 it is more important to eat right, exercise and keep our bodies in the best shape we can because if we lost our health then we have nothing. No wealth and no one can replace that. Being busy, motivated and sometimes driven professionals we both have our own health issues that we struggled with and, luckily, overcame with the least possible damage which is why we wanted to share this with you especially the young motivated and self-driven professionals. To be clear, none of us are in the medical field so be cautious listening to this episode and always remember to consult your family doctor about your health.

    Modern Education P2: College Education Challenges (S01 - E13)

    In our previous episode we talked about the challenges of modern education especially the online schooling. As COVID-19 quickly transformed all education to online college education didn’t do much well in this extreme challenge. Problems with college education hasn’t started with COVID-19 for sure but this pandemic uncovered a lot of issues in this field. Parents are having a close look for the first time to what their kids are learning and they’re definitely not happy. For the past couple of years, we’re seeing a lot of frustration with college education by both parents and students. Stuck in a very old cycle of curricula, educational methods and lack of understanding of the new market’s career requirements, college education is becoming very expensive and mostly inefficient. College students are becoming so frustrated that they are committing suicide in hundreds out of frustration. They are paying much money for an education that does not prepare them for the modern work environment, they are drowned in debt and have no decent income to pay for it. What happened to college education that it became that expensive and inefficient? How does the COVID-19 pandemic reveal the problems with college education? What will happen to most colleges post COVID-19 now that parents are very unhappy with their kids’ advancement? All these and more question are the topics of this episode.
