Summary

Right now, the Federal Reserve is pumping trillions of dollars of stimulus into the economy. So what does this mean? How are small businesses doing? When will people go back to work? And how does this impact the economy? I called up Jim Mckelvey. He's the co-founder of the multi-billion dollar business, Square. AND, more importantly, he's the Deputy Chair of the St. Louis Federal Reserve. He tells us how the stimulus works, what the risks are, what we should keep an eye on and more. Jim is also the author of the new book, "The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time." It's a great guide book for today's entrepreneurs.
