In this episode, Dr. Vargo sits down with IDOC CEO Dave Brown to discuss something on everyone’s mind – the economy! For business owners, scary words like inflation and recession might be keeping you up at night. You’re probably feeling the pressure from things like rising wages and higher cost of goods, not to mention the fear and uncertainties that come from not knowing what the future holds.
In this podcast, they discuss the good, the bad and the ugly. Fortunately, it’s not all bad and ugly. Neither Dave nor Steve have a crystal ball, but they do their best to share some insights and recommendations based on historical data and trends from previous economic downturns.
