We’re in unchartered waters, facing more immediate challenges than ever before. But challenges always present new opportunities, opportunities to learn and reinvent ourselves and our businesses.

In this episode, Catherine Graham (CEO at commonsku) and Mark Graham (President and Chief Brand Officer at commonsku) join me to discuss this unique time in our industry’s history. Since the commonsku community comprises around $800 million in revenue, they have a unique perspective on the industry, having talked with so many business leaders and friends in the community.

In this episode, I chat with Mark and Catherine to gather their thoughts on where we’re at right now, what they are seeing in the market and throughout the community. We discuss multiple topics, including:

  • The economy and how to navigate the multitude of economic projections when enduring a crisis

  • What activity we’re seeing now in the industry

  • How to prepare ourselves and our clients for “Day One” of the return

  • The positive changes that will emerge through this experience

  • The challenges of leading a business and maintaining equilibrium at this time

Join us as we navigate, together!
