Healthcare workers, janitors, and grocery store workers are just a few of the essential workers who are reporting to work every day despite stay-at-home orders. 

In this conversation, Darius and Kirsten chat with a Fortune 50 grocery store professional who shares why he continues to deliver on his company’s mission despite the unprecedented times.

SHOW SUMMARY: 

[2:55] Bryant's new work reality

[4:07] A 32-year first 

[5:32] The shopper reaction 

[8:09] How employees feel 

[12:40] The best time to grocery shop 

KEY TAKEAWAYS: 

While many essential workers are risking their lives every day to report work, they find purpose in delivering on their company's mission. One of the best times to grocery shop is in the mid-afternoon. Retail stores are taking proper precautions to sanitize their stores as well as keep their employees safe to prevent the spread of the virus. 


EPISODE QUOTE: “If I don’t catch it, God covered me. If I do catch it, God will keep me. And if I die from it, I will go to be with God and many more wonderful people.”
