People Over Pandemic

This holiday season brings to mind the precious people in life such as my wife, family and friends. Along with these come memories of what I took for granted before COVID-19, including the wonderful people I once worked with while still employed in the robust industry of live events. That industry will no doubt survive this crisis and exceed its former greatness in time, although most likely in a different form.

Also on in my thoughts is my former dream team doing what they always did best… solving problems and having fun doing it. They will no doubt survive this crisis and exceed their former greatness in time. The sad thing is that most likely they will never again be part of the same team and organization, which is the reality of how impactful catastrophic events are on business. As we approach what is hopefully our darkest hour before the dawn in this pandemic, let us hope and pray we never again have to overcome a similar unavoidable disservice to our people on this level, as it is people who ensure the ultimate success of any industry.

As individuals, let us do whatever is within our power to ensure the eventual success of the vaccine rollout and the ultimate demise of this virus. Remember to abide by the protocols of our healthcare community as they are on the front lines for us to prevent future threats to our livelihoods and well-being. In the end, the laws of science will win the day.

Happy holidays and high hopes for an eventual return to health and prosperity in 2021!
