Nearly two years into the global pandemic, it has become more important than ever to make sure business leaders have access to the resources they need to cope with the changes brought on by COVID-19.

This is why we created Expert Connexions, a TV show designed to connect our audience to the experts they need to run their business and improve their everyday lives.”
