Attempting to locate an owner of a domain name you desire to purchase, or connect with for whatever the reason, this task can be as challenging as finding a need in a haystack — to say the least.

Gone are the days you could easily use Whois to enter desired domain name and be shown registrant contact information such as phone, email, and address.

My latest podcast guest is no exception to the rule in all of the best ways and thoughts.

When we remember 2020, the world will certainly not forget the one thing that scoured and traveled to the ends of the earth: COVID-19.

It has voraciously snuffed out hundreds of thousands of lives and counting — young, old, and everyone in between.

Now into the tens of millions and counting, COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus, has ravaged the lives of many now finding themselves jobless, all sources of income and savings barren.

To add injury to insult, life and disability insurance, retirement, and health benefits have all evaporated for some into the land of furlough and others in the the land of never returning.

But for all that find themselves having to pull up on the ol’ boot straps, today’s podcast guest and the company she leads just might be the break you’re so desperately needing to catch.
