In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy and Josh dive headfirst into a crucial topic for every small business owner and manager: resiliency. Following last week's breakdown on burnout, this conversation flips the script and focuses on building the kind of resilience that doesn't just help you bounce back but helps you bounce forward.

Chrissy shares personal insights from her book Reluctantly Resilient and breaks down what she calls the Resilient Operating System, a practical toolbox of habits, mindsets, and systems to help leaders lead through pressure and change. Josh adds his operational and marketing perspective, revealing how a business can be structured for resilience even when the leader steps away.

You’ll discover why resilience is a learnable skill (not a fixed trait) and how it shows up differently in your personal life versus your business. Chrissy and Josh explore how to lead without burning out by embracing rest as a leadership tool, why grit without grounding leads to burnout, and how to future-proof your business with documented processes, cross-training, and diversified marketing and revenue streams. They also dive into how to navigate tough conversations with calm clarity and build the financial and operational buffers every business needs to stay strong in uncertain times.

Whether you're in crisis mode or just preparing for the next big challenge, this episode gives you the mindset and the toolkit to lead more effectively and sustainably. It’s real talk with practical takeaways and a few laughs along the way.
