Robert Tercek is a Business Futurist, Technology Strategist, and Digital Media Pioneer. He's an award-winning author with his book “Vaporized," and he's the former President of Digital Media, Oprah Winfrey Network

I asked him to come on and talk about two of the essays he posted on Facebook about the COVID crisis - which you should definitely read.

1️⃣ "You have everything you need within you now to survive & thrive" (strategies)
2️⃣ "Finding opportunity in the chaos" (predictions)

We talk briefly about the current state of affairs.
And the two things we have to make sure we do over the next couple of months
Then we get into what the future might look like… for businesses and the economy, in general.
We talk about the shifts in our preferences that will likely change everything forever
And some strategies you can use to build your brand and differentiate yourself in these crazy times of uncertainty.
