What Actually Puts a Business at Risk
Wed Feb 04 2026
Most business risk doesn’t come from bad intentions, poor execution, or obvious mistakes.
It comes from subtle misreads - of context, timing, perception, and silence.
In this episode, Lauren explores the quiet, often invisible forces that put businesses and institutions at risk long before a problem ever shows up on paper. This is not a tactical or how-to conversation. It’s an invitation to slow down and look at how decisions land, not just how they’re made.
You’ll hear about:
Why operational risk is rarely what breaks trust
The concept of narrative drift and how it quietly erodes confidence
How decision-making under pressure can flatten context
Why silence is never neutral — especially in leadership
The role perspective plays in protecting long-term integrity
This episode is for leaders, founders, and decision-makers who understand that clarity, discernment, and awareness are just as critical as action.
Before you move faster, optimize more, or say nothing at all...this episode offers a different lens.
