CFO Weekly

Coming Through the COVID-19 Pandemic Stronger than Before w/ Macy Macaskill


Listen Later

There’s no way to sugarcoat it. 2020 was brutal for an overwhelming number of businesses both in the United States as well as the rest of the world. So many businesses saw their doors close permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing reduction in revenue.

And while not every business ended up having to close their doors, every business was impacted in some way. Even those that, from a revenue standpoint, did well in 2020, had a whole new landscape to navigate. Remote work, Zoom, maybe a reduction in workforce. The pandemic took no prisoners, and nobody was unscathed.

But rather than focus on the negative, we’re going to take this episode and focus on the positive. We’re going to talk with someone who, though they had to make some tough decisions, helped lead their company through the rough waters of 2020, and hopefully has set them up for continued success in 2021.

Our guest on the show this week is Macy Macaskill. Macy is the Chief Financial Officer at Rockets of Awesome, and our conversation on this episode is all about struggle, perseverance, and triumph. Her company had some hard decisions to make at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they’ve rebounded from those decisions in a dramatic way.
