Today I’m joined by Bryan Myers, the President & CEO of

role earlier this year. Then, we discuss COVID’s impact on the
business, raising new capital to support expansion, and
[solidcore]’s digital partnership with Equinox+. Bryan also
shares his approach to building culture and persisting through
the pandemic.
