The world is a mess right now. 

J. Crew, Macys, & Disney have all been in the news for the ways that COVID-19 has impacted their business. 

A decade of job growth has been wiped out in the United States in just over 2 months. 

So is there any hope? At what point will businesses start making a comeback, and what are the signals that the decision makers are looking for to determine when companies are ready to reopen?

And how will this pandemic impact or change our supply chain in the United States, particularly our retail & meat supply chain. There will no doubt be disruptions and adjustments, but what do those look like in the long run? 

On this episode of What Lies Beneath?, we sit down and talk with Greg Spragg. Greg is the managing director at GrowthWise Group, and he had a lot to share with us about: 

-The signals that he’s looking for to determine when companies are ready to reopen? 

-The disruption in the national meat supply chain and how it’s going to alter the way that we feed ourselves and our families.

-Why he thinks the Meal Kit business will come out of this pandemic in a great place.

-The reasons he thinks the US might stop relying so much on foreign supply chains
