Entrepreneurs sometimes face the difficult decision of whether to push through tough economic downturns or close shop and start fresh. When financial collapses hinder opportunities in various markets, moving forward can feel daunting. How do business leaders know when it’s time to pivot, rebuild, and embrace a new market?
After closing his first company during the 2008 recession, AV integration expert John Lupear relocated to a new city, rebuilt his career, and launched a thriving business. He carved a new path in a booming market, designed cutting-edge systems, and built trust with clients who expected the best. Along the way, John navigated employee layoffs and learned that resilience and creativity matter just as much as technical skills. He recommends staying adaptable and developing a strong workplace culture.
In this episode of The Decision, Robert Hartline interviews John Lupear, Founder and President of Prodigy, about rebuilding after economic crises. John shares the lessons he’s learned from serving billionaire clients, the innovations shaping the AV industry, and how EO has shaped his leadership.
