EP-78 Catherine Hover - Coronavirus and its impact on my small business

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is causing havoc all over the globe. Today we are joined by Catherine Hover. This was an impromptu recording of a conversation I had with Catherine. She called me and wanted to discuss how the COVID-19 epidemic is impacting her business and how she is pivoting. Our conversation contains many key points regarding unexpected change. Catherine's focused approach and positive energy are a few of the important aspects we can all learn from. Over the years Catherine and I have had several conversations about her businesses as I have been a very minor mentor to her. I did have to edit out a few things as we discussed a few confidential matters. She is a repeat guest on this podcast as she was on the show in EP-58. Catherine is a serial entrepreneur and has founded Palette, which is a combination cafe, social gathering place, and co-working space. She also founded several Paint and Sip locations. Mike and I decided to release this episode earlier than our typical Sunday evening schedule because of the current COVID-19 crises.
