I recently had a conversation with a neighbor about many local businesses she is aware of that are closing.

But so many are also thriving. Others are starting. More will start, including some that will go on to become thriving businesses employing many, many people.

It is a really crappy time for many industries, and for anyone currently out of work, it’s devastating.

I am excited to employ people in my own business during this time, and I am excited to see what other local businesses pop up to create opportunities for others.
