Given today's Covid-19 recession, Platinum Group's Steve Coleman says there are those businesses that are pausing and being conservative, and then, "there's a significant minority of owners that we serve who have very alertly said, 'wow, this is so enormous of a changing environment that there have to be some new opportunities that these disruptions bring to us. New opportunities I better be looking for. 'And so they have leaned forward. They are not being silent. They're not looking down. They're looking up and they're looking out." 

During this short unedited, one-take interview, he explains how business owners are doing just that in part by finding good new partners, sharing their experiences with other owners and exploring new ways of looking at and doing things.
