When the government shuts down and projects freeze, how do you keep your business alive?

Tom sits down with Kortney B. Farhat, a veteran in contracting and finance, to talk about how to stay in control when the economy gets messy. From cashflow survival tactics to Section 179 tax strategy and real-world lending options, this episode shows you how to fight back instead of panic.

This is a straight-talking session about leadership, visibility, and making smart moves when everyone else is waiting for help.

⚒️ Topics Covered:

Why cashflow > profit during hard times
How to keep your crew paid when receivables are slow
Creative funding strategies beyond SBA loans
Fighting back with smart tax strategy
Staying visible and marketing through chaos
