If you think or hope that we are not heading to a recession, think again. The Fed is facing some major decisions today following the debacle of Silicon Valley Bank and the ripple effect happening within the finance industry. Will they raise interest rates and take the chance of causing further problems for banks? Or will they pause rate increases and accept the risk that inflation will remain high? With past questionable decisions resulting in an additional financial impact on Americans as the government bailed out the banking industry... now we are possibly looking at the same scenario. This week's Charged Up Studio podcast with host Danna Olivo is a replay of an earlier one that focused on the Federal Government No-Bid Federal Contracting program. The best way to maneuver a recession is to diversify revenue streams. When the economic landscape takes a turn for the worse and inflation kicks in, the Federal government pushes more money out into the market in the form of procurement contracts for different products or services. These contracts are primarily reserved for small business owners. Tune into Episode #7 to find out how you can take advantage of the millions of dollars being handed out by the Federal government.

https://marketatomy.com https://chargedupstudio.live Welcome to the last podcast for Season 3! Season 4 will kick back in on February 7th, 2023. I apologize for the last posting of this exciting podcast. Due to unforeseen family circumstances, this episode of Charged Up Studio was originally scheduled to air on the 6th of January. However, better late than never. We are committed to bringing you the most relevant news and information available for charging up you and your small business. This episode focuses on that often misunderstood or neglected sector of our economy…those who are disabled. Recent mandates and laws have brought to the forefront the fact that this sector must be included in our marketing and business development efforts, to avoid possible discrimination charges. But rather than focus on the negative side of this, let's look at the positive and what proactive planning and implementation could mean to your bottom line. This week's guest is the founder of an organization called PURE ACCESS. An experienced access technology instructor and A11Y consultant who is knowledgeable in WCAG and experienced in accessibility testing from a UX perspective, Angela Fowler brings a unique perspective on how to reach and service the disabled. Holding a master's in organizational leadership and a bachelor's in Psychology, she understands not only the physical challenges but also the psychological and emotional barriers people with disabilities face on a daily basis.
