The Blast Radius Era: Building Resilience at the Speed of Change

Jeffrey Hausman joins David to unpack why modern operational resilience is no longer just about uptime—it’s about designing for disruption.

From AI agents to human culture, Jeff breaks down how forward-thinking businesses shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, continuous learning—turning operational strategy into competitive advantage.
