About the Episode

Welcome to the 275th episode of the Dean Blundell Show ‘Support Local’ Series. In today’s episode, we welcome the co-host of the SLP, CEO of Smokes Poutinerie Ryan Smolkin, and the Chairman of the Canadian Franchise Association and founder of Nurse Next Door, John DeHart. John discusses Nurse Next Door, paints a grim picture of how local franchise owners are feeling right now and the likelihood of small businesses staying open. John explains changing your business model and gives tips on how small businesses can continue to operate. We close with John’s notion of hope not being a strategy, the magnitude of the economic collapse, and running up and down mountains for a good time.
