Summary
The sabotage of a local substation resulted in a 5+ day blackout in my county. Here's how I was prepared, how I handled it, and what I learned.
This clip is taken from my private coaching Squad live stream, and I'm posting it publicly to help others.
Special thanks to my business partner and co-host, C.J., for setting up this remote call so I could share this information.
Keep in mind that I was talking to my Squad members, so the tone, the attitude, and the humor is because I was speaking with people who I communicate with weekly.
