What if?

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we’re going to ask a number of “What if” questions.

I believe it’s important to stop and think strategically about what is happening in the business world that can materially affect your own business. But before you can think strategically, you need to ask a bunch of “what if” questions. 

Over the past decade we have been accustomed to living in a world that has been largely moderate in response. We’ve had a decade of moderation, of broad economic prosperity, of localized problems. 

We are so accustomed to calm predictable linear situations, that we can’t wait for things to return to normal. 

But what if there is not going to be a return to normal? What if we will experience crisis after crisis after crisis?
