“Tough Times Don’t Last, Tough People Do”
Ep. 7 Outline
Pre Show: What's going on everyone, Welcome to another addition of Confessions of a Native Son, I'm your host Mike Steadman. I'm a Marine Corps Veteran, Entrepreneur, and Aspiring author, who enjoys thought-provoking and engaging dialogue about race, culture, and business.
Like many of you, I got punched in the face last week and dropped to the canvas due to the Corona Virus & The COVID-19 Pandemic. With everything going in the world currently and the challenges our world leaders face due to COVID-19, a lot of my original subject matter for this platform has lost meaning for the moment. So for this episode, I discuss the effects of the Corona Virus on my personal life, business, and our nation. Now more than ever, I truly appreciate you sharing your time with me and I hope you enjoy the show.
Introduction: What's up everybody, Welcome to another edition of Confessions of a Native Son.
