'The Innovation Stack': Why Entrepreneurs Have An Advantage In The Chaos Of Coronavirus

Tech companies have been trying to help out in the response to the coronavirus pandemic — be it with data, mapping, new products, logistics or other kinds of services.

That’s something Jim McKelvey knows all about. He’s co-founder of Square, the company that makes the device you can plug into your smartphone to take credit card payments. He’s also the author of the new book, " The Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time."

McKelvey calls himself a serial entrepreneur. The Show asked him about the challenges and opportunities entrepreneurs are facing right now.
