    Build a Business That Thrives Even When the World Turns Upside Down

    Successful organizations continuously evaluate their vulnerabilities, engage employees in solving problems, and remain flexible as conditions change. That's the bottom-line message of leadership consultant Ron Robinson, who has spent decades advising organizations of all sizes on how to remain resilient in the face of an increasingly unpredictable business environment. This week, Ron — author of Practices of Resilient Companies: Overcome Disruption with Compassion, Collaboration and Knowledge — shares his four-step framework for anticipating disruption and responding before challenges become existential threats. His goal is straightforward: help leaders not merely weather the storms of uncertainty, but emerge stronger in their aftermath.

    Colin Hodge Explains How Resilience, Customer Psychology, and a Willingness to Adapt Transformed a Crushing Setback into a Thriving Business

    This week, Monday Morning Radio celebrates its 700th episode of providing weekly, all-you-can-eat business wisdom. Since its debut in June 2012, the podcast has become a trusted resource for entrepreneurs, executives, and business owners seeking actionable advice rather than theory. In October 2025, the podcast surpassed one million downloads, a testament to its growing audience and enduring appeal.] Serial entrepreneur Colin Hodge, president, founder, and owner of DOWN — one of the top ten dating apps in the United States — knows firsthand that rapid business growth begins with understanding why customers think, choose, and behave as they do. He is the author of Outrageous Startup Growth: Uncovering the Secrets of User Psychology to Scale Your Success. Colin has built his career by applying practical insights from user psychology to improve marketing, strengthen customer loyalty, and make better strategic decisions through continual experimentation rather than guesswork. As he shares this week, that mindset proved essential after his early breakout dating and hookup app, Bang With Friends, was abruptly pulled from Apple's app store, forcing him to rethink his business and start over. Today, Colin's company is back on Apple — facilitating honest dating and interesting conversations with over 17 million users — demonstrating that setbacks can become the springboard to even greater success.

    Why So Many Good Business Concepts Fail — and How Your Company Can Succeed

    If your business struggles to turn good ideas into successful outcomes, Jeffrey K. Lambert knows why — and what to do about it. For more than two decades, Jeff has helped organizations improve execution, modernize technology, establish project management offices, and lead transformation initiatives that deliver measurable business outcomes. Jeff's experience includes many years working in project management roles at Caterpillar Inc., and, since June 2020, serving as a consultant with Blue Fusion Partners. This week, Jeff explains why even small and mid-sized companies benefit from clear project ownership, well-defined goals, and disciplined execution.
