Episode 34 of The Turnaround Podcast tells the story of a 100-year-old flooring manufacturer that nearly collapsed when the housing market cratered.

They discuss the brutal math of losing 70% of revenue, the decision to close three plants, and the eventual recovery. Along the way, they touch on the current market environment—with the Nasdaq down 5% in a week—and what it means for cyclical businesses.
