We are going to do a short two part series on the Coronavirus. In part 1 we are going to talk with Mark Janus who is seeing his travel business get crushed by the coronavirus pandemic. In part 2 we will be talking with Danial Hultin who survived COVID19 to get his perspective.

Welcome back to another FUTRtech video podcast. Today we are going to take a bit of a different approach. We have heard from various businesses about how they are adapting. And we’ve talked about the impact of the illness. We haven’t talked about the people who are out there really struggling for their futures. The tech sector has been fortunate, because it has been enabling business in this environment, but other sectors haven’t been so lucky. Travel is one of those sectors hardest hit, and there is no relief in site. So, today we have Mark Janus of Janus Travel to talk about what it is like for people with small businesses who are faced with the destruction of their dreams. I don’t think we hear enough about them.

Here is the much anticipated Part 2 of our interview with Shawn O’Grady.

Today I am really excited to bring Shawn O’Grady to the show, because Shawn brings a really important perspective to the conversation. As a senior executive at Insight Enterprises, a 9 billion dollar technology reseller, he has a unique perspective on the business operations of a large company, but he is also constantly in the field talking with customers and working with them to find critical solutions to their problems, so he has a great perspective on what is happening in the industry. He has led technology companies through IPOs and mergers, and it is probably safe to say, he has seen it all in the biz.

Hello everyone, Welcome back to the first video or 2020. I put a new slightly shorter intro together, I would love to hear your thoughts. Let me know if you love it or hate it, or worse, are indifferent.

This first video is not going to be about tech. One of the other areas of focus for FUTRtech is to give something back, and that is what I am going to talk about today.

It is St Baldrick’s time again!

I will be shaving my head on January 26 to raise money for childhood cancer research, and who doesn’t want to help end childhood cancer.
