Dean Cannon

As Floridians look forward to getting back to some sense of normalcy in the coming weeks, Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Dean Cannon, former House Speaker and now CEO of the GrayRobinson law firm, for a conversation about growth through adversity.

Cannon takes an optimistic tone as he describes life at home with three teenage children. He describes the challenges so many Americans are facing with schools closed and non-essential activities almost entirely shut down, but praises the personal growth that has emerged.

Peter chats with Cannon about the eventual reopening of society including the delicate balancing act required to ensure ongoing public health while also reviving a stalled economy.

Cannon, whose brother is a doctor, uses his experience as a business-savvy lawmaker to outline the importance of protecting the vulnerable while also getting back to work on the economy. He also stresses the need for continued and increased testing for COVID-19.

The two also speculate whether things will ever get fully back to normal, or if society has been fundamentally changed by the pandemic.

Cannon also discusses his renewed faith in humanity as he notices people shedding arguments of the past as they wage war against a common enemy that is neither political nor human.

Special Guest: Dean Cannon.
