Welcome to The Pivot Pod, where we’ll figure out together what's next for small business. Hosted by Frances Cook, with a new expert on each episode.

We all know that lockdown was tough, for some more than others, and it’s far from over yet.

Travel businesses are decimated, and hospitality faces a rocky road.

But it’s not all bad. Many businesses have successfully switched to delivering their products, while anything to do with health is soaring.

What many are learning is what we’ve been doing until now is not what we need to keep doing, and many businesses can lean into the parts of our economy that are doing well.

On the latest Pivot Pod I talked to the Herald’s business editor at large Liam Dann.

We discussed which parts of the economy are looking good and bad, how businesses can be tilted towards the better parts, and what type of help can be accessed to make these changes.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
