Andy explains his team's goal in creating the survey and the importance of creating stories based on the data (8:33).

We dive into the cost cutting measures planned by companies should a recession occur (17:00). We touch on how small companies are leaning more towards technology adoption to combat their talent issues than their larger counterparts (22:50). Andy explains some of the measures being taken by companies to address inflation (33:08) and spending plans for 2023 (36:17). Lastly, we examine the differences between respondents in companies under $50M in annual revenue versus those with over $250M in annual revenue. (39:36). We conclude with where people can find the current survey and plans for future surveys (42:05).
