All of us have certainly been adapting to a significant amount of change lately. Obviously, most of it has been brought on by the pandemic that has halted us in our tracks and turned our world upside during the past several months. But while that is true, I believe some of us already had some ideas for change in the works before we even heard of the word “COVID-19.” I know we did at Stone World.
Last fall, we started strategizing about how to extend beyond the print pages of Stone World. While we have a website that we continually update with news and web exclusives, as well as a bi-monthly eNewsletter, we thought about other ways we can bring unique and informative content to our loyal readers. With this intention, we started to conduct podcasts with various industry members. Since then, we have steadily grown to posting twice a month. We have covered a diverse range of topics – everything from growing sales and a business during a pandemic to shop automation, the current state of the natural stone industry and advice on financing machinery. Jason Kamery has done a great job of keeping the momentum going and bringing our readers new subjects and topics. For those who have been tuning in, we hope you have been enjoying them. And for those who haven’t had the opportunity to listen to one yet, be sure to visit www.stoneworld.com/media/podcasts/2594 to check them out. And we are also excited to share with you that Stone World’s podcasts can be found on Apple Podcasts. If you know of a good subject or would like to speak on a topic yourself, don’t hesitate to reach out to Jason or myself to tell us about it.
