Hi, this is Newt.

Do the virus and recording from home.

So you may notice a difference in audio quality.

On this episode of Newt's World, small businesses, family-owned businesses and restaurants

are arguably the hardest hit by the pandemic shutdowns.

Many have struggled to survive.

Many have had to lay off of boys.

If they haven't closed their doors yet, the next six to nine months will be a real challenge.

There is some help on the way.

The US Small Business Administration has released a second round of the Paycheck Protection

Program, a forgivable loan program designed to financially assist small businesses with

money to stay afloat.

Part two of the Paycheck Protection Program opened on January 15, 2021.

There is no doubt America's main streets will be affected by the pandemic shutdowns for

years to come.

That's why I wanted to discuss the future of Small Business and the legislative plans

to restore our economy with our guest, a lane parker, president of the Job Creators Network

Foundation.

Elaine, I really want to thank you for joining me.

It's great to be back on Newt's World and frankly the times we've worked together on

Small Business projects, I'm always delighted because of the work you do at the Job Creators

Network Foundation.
