CV15: Multi-Billion Event Industry Shutting Down Overnight | Coronavirus Sessions

Not too long ago, we had Eric Lenasbunt of Bunt Backline Event Services on the show and they were doing extremely well. Then, overnight... the event industry collapsed. The NCAA Tournament canceled, the NBA season canceled, and then the rest of the dominos started to fall. Imagine having $220,000 of events cancel within an instant. Imagine a multibillion-dollar industry shutting down in a day. You don't have to imagine it, because it's reality, and Eric is feeling the impact. In this Coronavirus Session, we talk about the first steps Eric took as this virus started to impact his business, how he navigated canceled contracts, the difficulty of laying off employees for the first time and navigating those conversations, and so much more.
