Welcome to Peter's special “urgent” edition of "Fearless Media." We’ve all heard the Silicon Valley Bank headlines. But how did Silicon Valley respond and what does it all really mean now that the Feds have guaranteed all deposits? What should impacted investors and entrepreneurs do now? How can we understand how this happened - and steps each of us should take? And what does this mean for the entire banking and financial community (and all of us)?

Peter spoke with Silicon Valley-based finance expert James Gowers of finance and accounting services firm Matcha to find out. James has worked for decades with tech startups and is a graduate of Harvard Business School. Many of his clients banked with Silicon Valley Bank, so he has first-hand knowledge of all of it - in the belly of the beast, so to speak.

So take a listen - and reach out to Peter at peter@creativemedia.biz to connect you with James and get his great financial advice and counsel - and reach out to Peter on the legal side to help you navigate the legal waters.
