This week, Ami Kassar, founder and CEO of MultiFunding, explains how it’s almost as if these past few years we’ve run a grand experiment to see what would happen if the government gave lots of business owners more money than they knew what to do with. In many cases, the businesses got far bigger Covid loans than they could have hoped to borrow conventionally, and they got them without having to go through the standard application process.

The 21 Hats Podcast presents an authentic weekly conversation with small business owners who are remarkably willing to share what’s working for them and what isn’t. Unlike many business podcasts, which tend to talk to highly successful entrepreneurs whose struggles are in the past, the 21 Hats Podcast features a rotating cast of business owners who are still very much in the trenches fighting the good fight. Every week, our regulars gather to talk about the kinds of important issues many owners won’t even discuss behind closed doors: whether their businesses are as profitable as they should be, whether they are willing to give up some control to an investor in order to grow faster, why they had to lay off employees, how they wound up with way too much inventory, why they don’t have a succession plan, and even why they are concerned about their own mental health. Visit <b><a href="http://21hats.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">21hats.com</a></b> to hear all of our podcast episodes, read episode transcripts, and learn more. The show is produced by Jess Thoubboron, founder of Blank Word.
