We’re in a season of disruption—political shifts, evolving policies, contracting delays, and social tensions are impacting how business gets done, especially in the federal space. If you’re a small business owner or leader trying to make sense of how to stay relevant—or just stay open—you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re unpacking how to navigate the high-stakes environment of public sector contracting when the rules seem to keep changing. We’ll explore how policy, politics, and procurement slowdowns intersect with real-world business survival.
Then, we’ll shift gears and talk about tangible strategies to pivot smartly—without losing your footing. Whether you're repositioning your offers, realigning with a new customer, or expanding to commercial markets, this conversation is your guide to pivoting with power, not panic.
