WELCOME TO vBBC Friday #6 — Graciously HOSTED by vOfficeXpats


“doing business in a time of plague”
or “bring out your plague anecdotes.”
Business storytelling has been a part of our community from the very first days of our Recession era roots. So in that tradition, come and share your thoughts, experiences, learned wisdom — in story.
3-minute plague anecdote should include: 1. something about doing business, 2. something from personal experience, 3. a story of one’s own business, a colleague’s business, or a new zombie business start-up (e.g. “Take-out BBQ-Brains” Opens In Bremerton).
NOTE: Join Zoom Meeting link and password are in the BBC Newsletter. If you did not receive the newsletter and wish to attend, contact Dave [email protected] for link.
Be here – like virtually – be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, me hearties, as serial entrepreneurials, we all be business wise! Really. Arr…….
