Ep24: Bonus Podcast: COVID-19 Business Tribe needs each other more than ever

Ep24: Bonus Podcast: COVID-19 Business Tribe needs each other more than ever

This is a bonus recording I made  during my preparation for the Business 101 Radio Show that I host Monday nights at 6pm on 101.1FM in BNE, AUS.

I refer to The Economist article which was a real eye opener around the concept of PTSD. It highlighted the Mental Health Tsunami that is going to hit us as a result of this Global World War on COVID-19.

I explore more and also offer 3 suggestions on how you as a business owner can find the tribe you need right now to get through this.

Particularly MEN are at risk as 75% of suicides are Male. Men visit ACFC here

For business people in Logan City, Qld, Australia you need to connect with your local business tribe at one of the chambers of Commerce:-
Logan Chamber of Commerce here | Logan Youth Chamber of commerce here | Logan Regional Chamber of Commerce here
Logan Country chamber of Commerce here

Also the Logan City Council office of Economic Development has great resources on their website for Business working through COVID-19 here
