Hey GenXer. Remember the dot com bust of 2001 when you discovered you were laid off because your badge didn't work when you came back from lunch?
Six years later, you witnessed another economic crash. You survived both of those events through your resilience and ingenuity. You have evidence that you can navigate uncertainty.
This episode is your permission slip to start something even while the world feels uncertain. We’ll bust the myth of corporate stability, show how previous downturns sparked invention, and see how scarcity can boost creativity.
