What does 'disruption proof' mean for modern businesses?

Shout out to the nation. Happy to be here, John. Thanks for having me. I think that people are execution minded and we love to say, you know, a failure is a failure to execute. And we love to talk about we got to execute this and execute that. We're in execution mode. And I don't know that everybody would disagree with this, but it's not top of mind is is learning is being in exploring mode. And I think this is true of of all entrepreneurs is embracing the learning exploration side in order to be better executing.
I love saying be curious. Like Fire Nation, just be curious. Like be adventurous. Like actually want to learn, to educate yourself, to peek around that next corner. I mean, why not? I mean, this is a very exciting world if you let it be. And most people, Brant, they seem to be screaming from the rooftops, disrupt your industry. If you're not disrupting your industry, you're dying. But why would we want to become disruption proof?
I think it's because our daily lives feel disrupted. So even from a business sense, if we look at the pandemic, we look at global supply chains. ships stuck at a Suez Canal that disrupts supply chains. If we look at ransomware attacks brought down a healthcare system here in San Diego, if we look at the mass resignation that the big corporations are talking about, we have these disruptions because of the interconnected world that we live in and the speed of information and even the speed of disinformation, John. We live in a more complex world than we're used to and we face so much uncertainty in that we actually have to start thinking about, in my view, managing and structuring our companies differently to deal with a world filled with uncertainty.
And so that's what disruption proof means. How do we actually build into our processes and into the very organization of our companies, the ability to be resilient, aware, of all of the changes, dynamic, able to change what we're doing based upon new information.
What does this mean for businesses? I mean, what does disruption proof mean for those people that are listening, our entrepreneurs, our small business owners? What does that mean?
So in practice, it means this ability to delegate decision-making. It means empowering our employees to solve problems. It means teaching people them not to wait for us to tell them what to do, but to drive impact in their daily lives.
