Podcast Episode 101: Coping with Crisis in Business with Phoebe Sherman
Welcome to our Coping with Crisis in Business podcast series where I’ll be chatting with inspiring business owners that are pushing themselves and their businesses to survive and even thrive during this unimaginable, unprecedented and unpredictable COVID-19 crisis. While we will be focusing on COVID-19, much of what we talk about will apply to other types of crises as well.
This week I’m chatting with Phoebe Sherman, the founder of Girl Gang Craft, a female-forward community for creatives and entrepreneurs based in Oakland California.
