The Small Business Economy with Mike O’Donnell

On this episode of Live from the Vault, “The Lost Episodes” we are pleased to be joined by Mike O’Donnell, former Executive Director of Colorado Lending Source, now a candidate for the position of Colorado Secretary of State in 2022, and Chad’s favorite armchair economist. Mike has been instrumental to small business growth in the Greater Denver area for over 25 years. This episode was recorded in December of 2020, but due to a tragic iCloud error, this episode was thought to be lost, but thankfully has been brought back to life. Chad and Mike have been acquaintances for a few years and Mike has always given the latest on the economic forecast. Listen in to hear what he believes the future and the recovery process holds for small businesses.
