  • Great Podcast!

    The podcast episode "What's Your Disaster Recovery Plan?" is outstanding. My key takeaways from this episode are the importance of legal contracts and relationships with attorneys. The phrase "disaster comes opportunity" highlights the idea that even in challenging or adverse situations, there can be opportunities for growth, innovation, or positive change.
