They discuss how their businesses fared during and after the 2008 Crash and the steps they took to ensure they protect themselves better. They describe how their businesses are doing during this lockdown period and how they’re able to continue conducting business. Jamil and Cuthberto also share valuable advice to investors who are looking for opportunities in the current market.
