Welcome to Episode 40 of Building My Legacy.

This podcast is the first of two with Chad Peterson, an expert business broker, author and the founder of Peterson Acquisitions. Our topic: how businesses and employees will need to change after we get through the COVID-19 pandemic. In this podcast, Chad shares his thoughts on how long before businesses recover and what it will take to do so. We also ask Chad about the future of mergers and acquisitions. As so many businesses have come to rely on M&A for growth, how could that change in the future?

Chad believes that businesses that have been struggling in recent months with any of the Three M’s – marketing, messaging and management – may not survive. And right now survival is the key.

So if you want to know:

• What owners need to do now to stay in business
• What the toilet paper crisis tells us about our real willingness to take care of one another
• How business relationships will change as our economy recovers
• What a good business alliance looks like
