This week's Out of the Hourglass podcast features the latest edition of the Business is Messy Series featuring Brian Nolan, Managing Partner of Nolan Consulting Group, and Kevin Nolan, CEO of Nolan Painting & Partner at NCG.

If you are new to the podcast, the Business is Messy Series is a quarterly check-in with Brian and Kevin on the state of the business environment. Molly Nolan hosts the discussion as they talk about the successes, challenges…and the messes that come with running a Small Business. Or as Brian likes to joke, Kevin shares the messes and Brian cleans them up!

This time - we’re talking about the economy. To be clear, this is not an episode about recession fear, but about putting strategy behind an unpredictable economy. It's about being prepared, taking action, and getting smart about controlling the controllable. This is about acknowledging what we know to be true and doing our best to get ahead of the game.

Listen in as Brian and Kevin share insight on what they are hearing and experiencing firsthand and give recommendations for how to prepare your business for turbulent economic times. We've had them before, they are happening now, and they will come again.
