Businesses have had a challenging year in 2020, with some unable to sustain themselves under these extraordinary circumstances and a lucky few finding increased success. Many business owners fall somewhere between those two extremes, having adapted to new ways of doing business with a hope that conditions will improve in 2021. In part one of this two-part podcast, Diane Donato talks with Steve Bulger, Small Business Administration (SBA) Regional Administrator for NY, NJ, and portions of the Atlantic Region, about assistance for small businesses in obtaining capital, opportunities with federal government contracting, and mentoring services provided through the SBA. Bulger also talks about recent moves to simplify the process for loan forgiveness through the Paycheck Protection Program.
In part two, Diane talks with Emil Baker, SBA SCORE and Boots to Business mentor, about how businesses are faring in Upstate New York, and about advice he is giving to would-be entrepreneurs about starting a new business in this time of uncertainty.

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.
