Welcome to another episode of the Business Leaders of America podcast. In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Patrick Hardy, the President of Hytropy Disaster Management and author of Design Any Disaster: The Revolutionary Blueprint to Master Your Next Crisis or Emergency. Patrick is known as the "Indiana Jones of disaster planning" and brings a refreshingly optimistic approach to an often grim topic. We dove into his C3 Method, which focuses on turning disruptions into opportunities for growth, and explored the unique challenges businesses of all sizes face when preparing for emergencies.

Patrick shared fascinating insights into how small businesses can maintain control during crises, and gave practical steps for leaders to avoid turning disruptions into full-blown disasters. We also discussed his physically demanding world records, like his recent attempt to perform CPR for 30 hours straight, and how his passion for resilience and readiness connects to these extraordinary feats. This episode is packed with wisdom on how to embrace disruption and transform it into a growth opportunity, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to strengthen their business and leadership in the face of uncertainty.
