"Our vision is so important right now: where we wanted to take this company before [Covid-19] and how we wanted everyone to be successful in it by coming to work every day and working as a team. We still want that success, and I think that is easy to be lost in the fear right now,” Demskie says during this week's One Take interview. “Just having the normalcy of getting up in the morning and going to work. That’s what we do best. That’s what we know. And being able to to give that to employees is really important. A lot of people long for that normalcy even though they’re fearing. That normalcy is purpose.”  

In each One Take interview, a Minnesota business leader shares his or her take on how best to lead during the Covid-19 pandemic and it's unprecedented impact on their operations, and the economy. Each interview is recorded in one take with no edits, and runs 10 to 20 minutes in duration. 

One Take interviews are sponsored by the Platinum Group, the Upper Midwest's most experienced advisory firm assisting companies through financial challenges ranging from turnarounds to fundraising, acquisitions and managing through periods of rapid growth.
