Dr. Joe Webb on Print, Disaster Planning, and Pandemics
For those of you who do not know Dr. Joe Webb, for many years (and many before that) he was the go-to for print trends, technology, and the industry in regards to economics. He earned the nickname Dr. Doom because he is a numbers guy and when it comes to the overall decline of print volume and the repercussions from all of that, it wasn’t always a pretty story to tell. People may not have always liked what Dr. Joe had to say, but they always respected his delivery of fact and thoughts on how to overcome economic and market-based obstacles for success.
The coronavirus has moved beyond an economic obstacle to an economic crisis, but the same principles of supply and demand and crash and recovery apply now as they have throughout history. I was able to pull Dr. Joe out of retirement for an exclusive podcast to discuss how the industry can recover, what it will take, and who is in the best position to make it.
It’s not all pretty, but it’s a conversation that will help some of you make important decisions about the future of your business.
Listen Long and Prosper!
