The pandemic has brought many challenges with it, and all of us have had to adapt in one way or another. This podcast is no different. All of the interviews in Season 5 will be virtual. This will be an extended season, and the plan is to go back to in-person conversations once it is safe and appropriate to do so.

As a local podcast host, I pride myself on being able to meet face-to-face with guests. It’s one of the advantages of having a local show. And I love the energy that's generated when we’re gathered in the same room together. So, believe me when I say that I can’t wait to get back to doing that at some point in the future.

In the meantime, get ready to hear from some amazing entrepreneurs. In Season 5, I will be interviewing a wide variety of small business owners that represent a large cross-section of business types here in the Pittsburgh area. These conversations will help you get a finger on the pulse of our local small business economy.

If you’ve been wondering what’s been happening with your favorite local businesses or if you’re curious as to how business owners are surviving and even thriving under these unique and challenging conditions, then you’ll want to tune in to find out. Each week, I will bring you captivating and thought-provoking stories and insights from small business owners right here in the heart of our community.

If you have any questions or if you’d like to chat, you can reach me at my contact info below. The purpose of this podcast is to share ideas, inspire action, and build a stronger small business community here in Pittsburgh. So please say hello, tell me what you think, and let me know how I’m doing. It means a ton!
