He said it’s been devastating for him and, at some point, he felt like his business would not make it.
This after he was asked by a fan what it was like running a business in a pandemic.
“The truth? Horribly. It has been devastating, but we have faith and I hope it will get better. The reality is that we cannot carry on like this for too long for it to still make business sense, but we have a couple of strategic ideas that will hopefully mitigate that.”
