[46 Mins]
Today, I talk to Jan Creidenberg Co-Founder of Minneties and his daughter Caroline Creidenberg , Founder of Wedfuly.com.
Both are founders of companies that needed to pivot in totally different industries when the coronavirus crisis hit.
Jan, a career veteran executive in health care, had to work out how to access surgeons when he (and they) were locked out of the operating room.
Caroline, a start up wedding planner business CEO, had to work out what to do about her wedding business when all ceremonies were cancelled.
Their stories show great agility, flexibility and creativity; and have led to growth in times when it would have been easy to accept rejection.
I particularly felt uplifted by their adaptation of technologies such as Zoom (which comes out of this with a glowing reference).
