Crystal Ball Predictions: How will ordinary life change post COVID?

06/18/20 • 56 min

Even though the lights are down on Broadway, the show must go on. Ordinary life as we knew it is over. We now live in a world where smiling with your eyes is a real thing (you called it, Tyra! SMIZING!), the words “Tiger King” actually make sense, anxiety, grief and loss are commonplace, virtual dating is the only way to meet a partner, WFH and homeschooling is the norm, telehealth and virtual collaboration companies are exploding, and baking has become the national pastime. What else is new? What will be born out of this period? What new habits, services, products, or expectations will we see? What cultural shifts will take place? When it comes to startup land, the new normal includes looking at ways people will be born, grow up, buy stuff, stay safe, get exercise, date, marry, pay taxes and die. Come hang out as Andrea and Amy reimagine the impact of COVID-19 on our ordinary, daily lives.
