Eric is joined by attorneys Sarah Sawyer and Jon Wachs, both with the firm Offit Kurman, to discuss contracts and employment law in light of COVID 19.  

Jon does a great job laying down the foundation for our discussion around contracts and provides excellent examples.  We talk about Force Majeure and why it isn't a default defense for failure to perform under a contract.  Jon discusses a number of other approaches and details that you'll find helpful.

Sarah gives an excellent rundown of the current state of COVID 19 impacts on employment law from both the employer and employee perspective.  She helps us gain a view of what remains to be worked out in the courts as we get back to work.  This is a great segment for both employers and employees.

Special Guests Jim Wetekamp, CEO of Riskonnect and Tom Lebamoff, CEO of Exactus Advisors discuss Risk Management in light of COVID-19.

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for companies large and small to consider adding a  Risk Management System (RMS) to their toolset. Companies that are using an RMS will have additional use cases to implement based on the lesson to be learned from COVID-19.  

COVID-19 has impacted the ability of employees to work, suppliers to perform, customers’ ability to pay, and reduced demand for products/services, and more.  The reality that all of these risks came to fruition at the same time and from the same event, makes remediating the risk exponentially more difficult. 

“What are the odds that could really happen?” had changed to “We never thought this would happen, how to prepare for it again?” 

Jim and Tom share great insight that is valuable to all of our listeners.

Eric is joined by special guests Nate McDonald and Dan Maillard of Irreverent Warriors to 
discuss the origin and mission of Irreverent Warriors.  

The discussion has a few moments of raw emotion as we discuss veterans' suicide and how we've been impacted by it personally.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jeffery Sloss

Jeffery served under me during the PGW and was the guy that kept us all laughing when the suck was deep. We called him “Snuffy” because no matter where we were, he could sniff out a good time.    

He was the guy that gave me the nickname Sgt Rock because no one could get my last name right.  Sgt Rock stuck and there are folks today that don’t know me by any other name.

We lost touch a few years after the PGW.  He went on to become an SC State Trooper while remaining in the SC NG and built a family with his wife Pamela.

Jeffery committed suicide on May 27, 2004 – 5 weeks after he returned from Iraq.

It doesn’t get easier to talk about, he was a great guy and it is crushing for me when it comes up.  I guess it’s a good thing from the perspective that he really mattered.  However, I keep feeling that I left him hanging as life got busy and we lost touch.  This is who I was thinking of that led to my mini-breakdown at the being of this episode.

Please visit www.irreverentwarriors.com to learn more about the mission and to support them through a donation.  We have to end 22 a day and these guys are working hard to that goal.
