Jonathan Slain is the author of a new book, Rock the Recession: How Successful Leaders Prepare For, Thrive During, and Create Wealth After Downturns, which is already a #1 Amazon bestseller. Jonathan coaches high-growth leadership teams across the US in his copyrighted program, the Entrepreneurial Operating System called “Traction.” He’s here to share with us today how we, as business owners, respond when crises hit and create a recession.

There are elements of this interview that are difficult to hear, and Jonathan offers strategies that might feel difficult to handle. Please take what you can from this interview, explore these ideas, and decide how you want to show up in the middle of chaos and crisis.
