More than one year into the global pandemic, it has become more important than ever to make sure people have access to the resources they need to cope with the changes brought on by COVID-19.
Figures show that roughly one-third of small businesses across the country are shut down, with many in danger of never reopening. For those that are operating, revenue is down significantly.
“Behind every struggling small business is a small business owner, who has often poured his or her life savings into building out their dream,” said Julie Holton, Host and Executive Producer of Expert Connexions. “Our team at mConnexions is passionate about helping these businesses because we live it ourselves every day. This is why we have teamed up with WLAJ-TV to create Expert Connexions, a show designed to connect our audience to the experts they need to run their business and improve their everyday lives.”
Expert Connexions brings the experts to you every Monday morning after Good Morning America at 9 a.m. on WLAJ-TV in Lansing, MI.
