With so much attention in the media being about NYC’s death toll and President Trump’s perceived lack of action in January, many parts of this country that are being affected by Corona Virus are not getting the attention that they need. That is why we are dedicating our show the next few weeks into telling the stories that the news is just not covering.
For this week, we invited our Colorado Snow For Life crew, onto the show to discuss what is happening out there in Summit Country. Joining us in The Gray is Founder Kevin Sayler, USA Junior Olympic Freestyle Skiing Coach Teddy Goggin, and Weston Back Country & Summit Country snow-boarding legend Zach Griffin
What do our boys tell us? To put their plight in perspective, 7.7% of all hospitality jobs are in Colorado and their #2 employer is ski resorts, restaurants, and hotels. So when that industry is getting kicked in the mouth as a result of the shutdown, you don’t have to be a social scientist to realize how dire the landscape might be in Colorado after all of this.
But just like we are seeing across this country…people are stepping up to help out the local businesses…neighbors are helping out neighbors…people are just doing what needs to get done to save their community. There is beauty in all of this and the Summit Strong mentality is restoring my faith in humanity one story at a time.
Instead of being part of the problem and spreading fake news, tune in to the one place you know isn’t fake….Gray Matters Radio! As always I am joined by my co-host, the Armchair QB Bill Reed to help keep me in line and firmly in the Gray. Gray Matters Radio is a proud member of the 6One4 Radio Network family of podcasts.
