The Productivity Show

Today we are going to talk about something that has been in the news a LOT this year and will likely impact most of us in the year ahead: issues with the global and local supply chain.

You might have experienced that prices are going up, packages are delayed, and stuff you want to buy is backlogged by months or even out of stock.

Whether you’re a business owner, employee, academic, or retired – we’ll go over how these supply chain issues impact you and what you can do about it moving forward to have a happy and productive life.
