So I decided to reach out to Carrie Kukuda and ask if I could interview her about what her experience has been like dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic as a business owner.

I wanted to get her take on all of it. That’s because she always has a unique way of looking at things.

What was interesting (which you’ll hear in the interview) is how during this pandemic she had to make the choice to renew the lease for her business or find something else.

And in times like this…

That’s a pretty scary thing to face.

But I knew Carrie. I knew that she’d look at all of this differently than a lot of other entrepreneurs.

And what’s cool is that she didn’t disappoint in our interview.

Plus, I took a little bit of a different approach on this podcast.

It was more of “having a conversation” instead of a heavy focus on the X’s and O’s.

That was because this whole COVID thing is a human challenge.

And sometimes simply talking with entrepreneurs like Carrie and just having a conversation can be much more useful than trying to pull out the tiniest of details.

So this makes for not only a good podcast episode but also a good conversation.

Now, if you are interested in the X’s and O’s…

Then don’t worry there’s a bunch of that as well.

For example, if you want to know how she designed her business so that COVID didn’t impact it that much…

You’ll hear all about that and a whole bunch of other cool info.

So if you want to know about how Carrie is managing the COVID-19 pandemic from a business and personal perspective then you’ll enjoy this one.
