Every quarter, 90% of small businesses get blindsided by a major disruption—cyberattack, supply-chain meltdown, reputational firestorm, or a strategic curveball they never saw coming.
Of those that get hit hard, 40% never reopen their doors. Another 25% limp along for a few months and then quietly fold.
That’s the brutal reality of going it alone in today’s chaotic economy. But here’s what the most resilient entrepreneurs have already figured out: you don’t have to monitor every threat, regulatory change, or emerging risk by yourself. You don’t need $12,000 consultants on retainer or endless hours prompting AI just to stay in the game.

What you need is the one thing that multiplies your time, your knowledge, and your survival odds almost instantly—other sharp, battle-tested entrepreneurs watching your back (and you watching theirs). In this episode of Mastering Risk, Dr. D reveals why social capital is the ultimate unfair advantage for solo and micro entrepreneurs right now. You’ll discover: Why lone-wolf entrepreneurs miss threats that a simple community would catch in minutes.
How fractional access to cyber, supply-chain, continuity, and strategy experts costs pennies compared to hiring them solo.
The exact community model that delivers bespoke risk intel, monthly expert Q&As, and zero extra apps or fixed meeting times—so it actually fits your crazy schedule
Real numbers on how fast a single disruption can kill a business (and how to make sure it’s never yours)
If you’re a solopreneur, side-hustler, Etsy seller, podcaster, or small business owner who’s tired of feeling one ransomware note away from disaster—this episode is your wake-up call and your lifeline.
