2026 Is Coming: How Small Businesses Survive the Next Global Shock
Are you ready for what’s really coming in 2026? Most business owners aren’t—and that’s exactly why so many solopreneurs, micro-businesses, and small companies get blindsided. In this episode of Mastering Risk, Dr. D breaks down the global turbulence ahead and gives you a real-world framework to hedge against the threats you can’t see coming—but absolutely should.
Forget the clickbait gurus promising million-dollar success “in 30 days with AI.” The truth is more sobering—and far more empowering. With over a decade of research in risk, resilience, and preparedness, Dr. D shows you how the actual evidence points toward five major risk escalators highlighted in the 2025 World Economic Forum outlook:
✔ Inflation & the cost-of-living squeeze
✔ Extreme weather and skyrocketing disaster costs
✔ Global economic downturn
✔ Geopolitical conflicts
✔ Social polarization
But here’s the good news: you don’t need a massive budget, a consultant army, or a million-dollar runway to protect your business. You just need a strategy. Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
💡 Why inflation is quietly eroding your margins—and how to fight back
💡 What extreme weather actually means for small business supply chains
💡 The two biggest leverage points you have right now—and how to strengthen them
💡 How to build redundancy, customer awareness, and financial runway—without cash reserves
💡 The real pivot point every entrepreneur must recognize before it’s too late
Whether you’re launching your first product or managing a growing five-figure business, this episode gives you clear, actionable steps to reduce uncertainty and navigate the chaos ahead.
