Most business risk doesn’t come from bad intentions, poor execution, or obvious mistakes.
In this episode, Lauren explores the quiet, often invisible forces that put businesses and institutions at risk long before a problem ever shows up on paper. This is not a tactical or how-to conversation. It’s an invitation to slow down and look at how decisions land, not just how they’re made.
You’ll hear about:
Why operational risk is rarely what breaks trust
The concept of narrative drift and how it quietly erodes confidence
How decision-making under pressure can flatten context
Why silence is never neutral — especially in leadership
The role perspective plays in protecting long-term integrity
This episode is for leaders, founders, and decision-makers who understand that clarity, discernment, and awareness are just as critical as action.
Before you move faster, optimize more, or say nothing at all...this episode offers a different lens.
