Prisons and Pandemic

Kicking off the show is a very special guest. Kathie Klarreich of Exchange for Change shares with Jim the challenges of the prison system to keep inmates safe during the pandemic. Jim & Kathie discuss the physical implications of not having adequate social distancing and the mental and emotional toll of being completely isolated from any outsiders for months.

The State of Capital Markets

Jim invites Charles Foschini, Senior Managing Director-Florida and Co-Leader of Berkadia in Miami/Fort Lauderdale, FL, back to the studio to discuss capital markets.
