Look, we all saw it during COVID. One headline changed the game. And businesses were folding faster than you could say PPP loan. But it's not just a pandemic. You've got tariffs, trade wars, a regulation change, a freak accident, a lawsuit, a black swan event, something you never saw coming.

And if you're not careful, one unexpected hit can knock you all the way back to square one or take you out completely.

0:31.8

But it doesn't have to be that way.

Today, Entree Leadership's head coach, John Falcons, is going to walk you through a
