On March 5th, at the beginning of the Coronavirus crisis, we aired a podcast with my good friend and Economist, Andrew Busch.  Today Andy has recorded a special edition of The Wealthy Speaker Show to update us on current events. I always refer to Andy as “The Great Calmer Downer” because he looks at what’s happening to influence the economy, what we can expect in the future and where we can find a bright spot to focus on. Andrew B. Busch is the former 1st Chief Market Intelligence Officer for the US government. At the CFTC, he was charged with improving and enhancing the government’s understanding of the markets.  Andy provided briefings to White House, US House and US Senate staffers on a wide range of issues including; extreme market volatility, China’s influence on the global commodity markets and the impact of Fintech & virtual currencies on market dynamics. Tune in to a special episode of The Wealthy Speaker Show for a quick update on the current state of affairs with Economist, Andrew Busch. Listen to the podcast below: Highlights you won’t want to miss: * Finding the positive in what’s happening today.  2:25 * What speaker bureaus are currently dealing with.  7:45 * Should you charge full fee for virtual work?  11:15 * What we may expect after this crisis…  13:25 * What businesses will suffer the least.  15:05 Andy was gracious enough to join me to provide you with an update on what is happening today and how he thinks things will be unfolding in the near future. We’re all worried about what’s happening, how it’s affecting our business and what we can expect to happen when things start to resume to normal.  Andy is here to help us see that as bleak as things look today, the future will be brighter.
