Birmingham is big business and small. But whatever the size of the operation, the marketplace is connected by people who have to grapple with numbers and projections and spin. We try and slice through the psychobabble that can be business news with a weekly discussion of who’s up and who’s down, why the market reacts a certain way or what a business closing or opening means to you.WBHM’s Andrew Yeager speaks with Cindy Crawford, Editor of the Birmingham Business Journal every Monday on Morning Edition as we discuss the big stories of the moment.
