The pandemic has transformed us in many ways. It taught us to value our health, loved ones, and most importantly: not take things for granted.

But can you learn not to take for granted something as ubiquitous as oxygen? And can you build a business selling it?

It turns out you can.

As the world is reopening and recovering from lockdowns, we won't go into (yet another) lengthy conversation about the pandemic. Instead, this second episode of The Trading Places podcast will focus on how the pandemic affected the medical oxygen industry.

From hearing a reporter talk about the oxygen crisis in India, talking to entrepreneurs working in the realm of "oxygen bars," and even selling oxygen online, we'll talk about how this crisis is teaching people to think about oxygen as a commodity that can be bought and sold around the globe and how the way we think about it has changed.
