Summary

#1205 Today we're talking to Jim from Spanish and Go, who joined us in episode 1,151. Jim and his wife and business partner, May, run a business that connects English speakers who want to travel to Spanish-speaking countries with people in those countries, to help them learn the language and culture. Unfortunately, Spanish and Go was incredibly affected by the pandemic in a not-so-great way. Jim and May had to cancel several Spanish immersion retreats they'd lined up right before the pandemic began and refund everyone who had signed up. Their YouTube ad revenue was slashed in half. And they had just started a podcast with a membership component to create some extra income. We talk about some of the things Jim and May did first in the wake of this shock. And we'll talk about the moves they've made since and where they are now. I think you'll find this one helpful if your business has been struggling lately, from the effects of the pandemic or otherwise. Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/ap1205.

1:10.2	not just because of pandemics and worldwide things,, we go through things, not just because of
1:11.3	pandemics and worldwide things, but we go through our own, in our own little world. We have our own
1:15.2	little things that pop up that could, you know, push us one way or another, and sometimes it does
1:20.7	not feel great. And, you know, this advice could be really helpful. So I hope you enjoyed this episode.
