Paul Boultwood is the host and wants to share as much information as possible.
"It is on Instagram and our hashtag is #atcorrimalchamber. Anyone can join in," he said.
"The reason why we are doing it is to get information out to our members and the small business community.
"We are also letting people in the community know which businesses are still open and what they are doing".
Mr Boultwood has already interviewed Illawarra Business Chamber executive director Adam Zarth, Federal Member for Cunningham Sharon Bird, NSW Member for Keira Ryan Park and Wollongong City councillor Cr Jenelle Rimmer.
And guests include members and experts in their field who have good advice for others trying to survive the coronavirus crisis.
The community is also invited to ask questions for the guests to answer.
"It is very real. The reason we did it on Instagram was so people can join us live and get asnwers to their questions straight away.
"It is on at 11.30 every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. For those who can't watch it live it stays up for 24 hours for people to be able to replay the video and still access the information."
The Illawarra Mercury has launched a Taking Care of Business campaign.
Each day we will highlight a local business who is adapting or evolving to be able to keep operating under these trying times.
If you know of a business adapting, please send us an email titled Taking Care of Business to gellis@illawarramercury.com.au.
We have also put a call out and will run a list of cafes, restaurants and clubs who are offering takeaway or delivery on our Facebook page. If you know of an outlet now offering home delivery or takeaway, please let us know and add it to the list.
