Description
There’s no way to sugarcoat it. 2020 was brutal for an overwhelming number of businesses both in the United States as well as the rest of the world. So many businesses saw their doors close permanently as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing reduction in revenue.
And while not every business ended up having to close their doors, every business was impacted in some way. Even those that, from a revenue standpoint, did well in 2020, had a whole new landscape to navigate. Remote work, Zoom, maybe a reduction in workforce. The pandemic took no prisoners, and nobody was unscathed.
But rather than focus on the negative, we’re going to take this episode and focus on the positive. We’re going to talk with someone who, though they had to make some tough decisions, helped lead their company through the rough waters of 2020, and hopefully has set them up for continued success in 2021.
Our guest on the show this week is Macy Macaskill. Macy is the Chief Financial Officer at Rockets of Awesome, and our conversation on this episode is all about struggle, perseverance, and triumph. Her company had some hard decisions to make at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they’ve rebounded from those decisions in a dramatic way.

The 10 Rules for Success When Working from Home w/ Ali Green: The kitchen table is the new office. People are working from home and trying to create boundaries between their professional and personal lives. How can you create a happy and healthy home-work environment? On this inaugural episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, Ali Green, CEO and Founding Director of Pantera Press, talks about the 10 rules of success she's developed in her 12 years of work-from-home or work-alone life. What we talked about with Ali: -Rule #1 — Decide your office hours in advance and stick to them. -Rule #2 — Separate work from sanctuary. (Or … why you'll never be able to eat a meal in peace at that table again.) -Rule #3 — Use your commute time wisely. How you spend the time between when you wake up and when you start work forms your mindset for the rest of the day. -...And Ali's seven other rules for success!
