When a community is shaken by tragedy, most businesses default to a statement.
But leadership is not always loud.
In this episode, I break down what it actually looks like for local businesses to show up responsibly when their town is grieving.
We talk about:
• Removing friction instead of adding attention
• Supporting other businesses carrying the weight
• Quiet posting and when to pause your marketing
• How to reduce decision fatigue for overwhelmed families
• Why staff conversations matter more than social media statements
• Offering grace when people are raw and overstimulated
• The reality that compassion is not a marketing strategy
This conversation is not political.
It is practical.
Because in moments of crisis, businesses are not just commerce.
They are stabilizers.
And stabilizers matter.
