I’ve followed Jen’s work for years and am hugely impressed with how she manages and runs her business. She always has her audience clearly in mind.

My final guest in this short series, Lisa founded Collective Hub, has written numerous bestsellers, is a well known serial-entrepreneur and as you'll hear is motivated and high energy. It came as no surprise to learn that she's active, busy and focused in these challenging times. 

In the penultimate episode of this COVID-19 series, I catch up with Australia's most prolific small business author to see how he's doing. Never a man to stand still for too long, I'm pleasantly surprised to hear him talk of 'slowing down' and I think that's a shift that may be here to stay.

Always open and forthright, Kate isn't finding this period any more plain sailing than the rest of us, but behind the discomfort new ideas are emerging.

Ever upbeat and high energy, communications expert, Paul Jones was always going to be on my hit-list for this short series and he didn't disappoint. He shares a great tip from Dr Martin Seligman that now adorns the door of our fridge.

In his role as CEO of COSBOA, Peter has been fighting the small business corner for years. A consistent voice on TV and Radio, he never shies away from a battle. So how is he personally combatting COVID-19? I can tell you there are a few things he doesn't miss. 

Next up in this COVID-19 series, we hear from Suzi Dafnis from HerBusiness. Suzi thinks we're going to be better people at the end of all this and is already noticing positive change in members of her community.

Time to talk with my other ex-Flying Solo partner and see how he's tracking. I can tell you he's bingeing on Narcos, Mexico on Netflix and as a self-confessed introvert there are aspects of all this that he's not struggling with at all.
