Peter Schorsch hunkers down with former House Speaker Will Weatherford who is now the managing partner of Weatherford Capital, a family-owned private investment firm based in Tampa.

In a silver lining to the pandemic and related social distancing requirements, the two share their mutual gratitude for the chance to squeeze just a bit more time with their kids who, of a certain age, begin to drift away from their parents into independence.

Weatherford discusses the Chamber of Commerce’s role in the coronavirus response, which the pro-business organization could have taken a hands-off approach on, but instead rose to support struggling businesses as statewide closures plagued their bottom line.

Ever wonder what the social dynamic is like in the Florida House? Weatherford shares insight into the different personalities and how they work together despite differences in style, even if the majority are all Republicans.

Listen also as the two discuss the stock market and economy in the age of coronavirus. It isn’t all bad news and, as Weatherford explains, that doesn’t necessarily make sense.

Peter also discusses the diverging opinions on stay-at-home orders as some embrace them as a public health necessity and others feel the brunt of the economic hardship it breeds.

Weatherford provides insight into the pandemic and politics surrounding it reminiscent of his leadership style from his days as House Speaker in this must-listen episode.

Special Guest: Will Weatherford.
