Fortune Reinvent

I love this podcast. I’m learning so much about the crisis of childcare. I though i was a lone regarding the unaffordable childcare problem for families. We have twins and they are 2.5 years old now and we began shopping around for quality childcare and realized many did not meet our expectations. However, the early childcare programs that did offer high quality childcare from age 2-5 and higher grade levels, tuition was $15,000-20,000 a year for 3’s program. My husband could not afford it. My husband makes about $90,000 a year and when you add in mortgage payments, car notes, cable, water bill, electric and food, we could not afford childcare unless I went back to work. It was a difficult decision to stay home given the rise of COVID, RSV, Flu and measle outbreaks in schools and I was afraid so i decided to stay home.

I am not even a huge follower of business news, but I love how this podcast takes certain industries & companies and gives voice to the changes that have come with the pandemic. The length is perfect and I think the hosts do a wonderful job of distilling the interviews they conducted into really concise, organized and smart stories for the listener. My favorites were the Land o Lake and David Chang episodes! What a strong podcast, Beth and Adam hit it out of the park straight away. Sometimes podcasts have to find their footing in the beginning, but these journalists provided great information in an interesting way right form the start. Bravo! Hope there is a second season!

Beth Kowitt has a great voice. Good topics and smart analysis. Great show!

Insightful and intelligent! These are really interesting stories about how so many familiar businesses are working to adapt to changing realities. Great hosts, great guests. And you’ve got to love a 20 minute podcast!
