In episode 391 of Financially Simple, Justin talks to Paul Metler of Initiative One about facing the changes that come with running a business.

Change is one of the few things you can bet on being consistent, and as a business owner being able to handle the changes that we face both internally and externally with our businesses is key to making it day-to-day. In this episode, Justin and Paul looks at the common metrics of change, and how we can guard our businesses from this constant flux.
