Our Story

May of 2020 initiated the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belize. With it came unforeseen challenges that forced small businesses to close their doors. But during what seemed like hopelessness came opportunities. Opportunities to create innovative approaches and initiatives to address the challenges brought on by the pandemic and forge new paths forward. One such initiative was the Creative Monday Discussion Show; a business talk show that features experts and entrepreneurs who are willing to share information to help in coping, networking, and accessing resources and tools to grow your business.

The Creative Monday Discussion is produced by Budram Solutions in partnership with TAS Belize. As the vision states, creatives transforming lives, this initiative focuses on creating a stage to highlight entrepreneurs and business owners who are using their platform to transform lives and make a positive impact in their communities.

The featured guests share their experiences, tips, and lessons learned with the viewing audience with an aim to inspire, motivate and transform lives through their creativity and entrepreneurial innovation.

Since its inception, Creative Monday has grown reaching more viewers both locally and internationally. The most recent episodes featured topics on skills training, crisis management, and content development for businesses.
