Our featured guest today also represents hundreds of businesses across the state, including many right here in the urban core. Mike Peel and his staff from Local First Arizona were supposed to take over my show for a Sunday in March, but that got scrapped when Coronavirus safety protocols mandated social distancing. We didn’t know until a few days before that our plans would have to re-worked and, oh how times have changed.
Like the businesses they represent, LFAZ, has had to quickly adapt to a new environment, create a path for survival and still keep their eye on the post pandemic goals as they relate to the organizations overall mission.
Mike joined us by phone yesterday to catch us up.
