Listen "Preparation Beats Panic: The Prepper Mindset for Life & Leadership"
Episode Synopsis
Most people think prepping is about bunkers and canned beans. But the truth is, being a prepper isn’t paranoia, it’s preparation.
And that’s exactly what Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) is all about.
In this episode of Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff., I connect the dots between personal prepping and enterprise resilience. Because whether it’s your pantry or your data center, the same mindset applies: preparation always beats panic.
You’ll hear:
The 3 Rings of Resilience every leader and household should know
Why false confidence is more dangerous than no plan at all How scenario thinking, redundancy, and adaptability make the difference
Why leaders resist preparing—and how courage changes the equation
--> At home, preparedness isn’t paranoia. It’s love.
--> At work, preparedness isn’t compliance. It’s leadership.
Because when disruption hits, the only bad plan is no plan.
