Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Matthew Neill Davis discuss the following:

Business is filled with detours and challenges. But who’s fundamentally responsible for the problems facing a business?
Why do you say many business failures look alike? Don’t they come in countless varieties?
So let’s get into the kinds of failures that can bring a business down — if they’re not anticipated, as you say.
Are there other kinds of catastrophes owners should prepare for? It seems like there would be endless possibilities.
Beyond catastrophes, what’s the next kind of failure?
So what’s the question to ask to recognize, and then address ignorance?
We’ve got catastrophes and ignorance — one outside the purview of the company and one very much within the company. What else?
How can you convince a growth-hungry business owner to focus on routines instead?
What’s the overall value in focusing on business failures this way?
Is this really part of an overall defensive business strategy?
So you’re saying that preventing so many stupid mistakes requires disciplined foresight, right?
