from Crisis Management with Fexingo: Recessions, Layoffs, and Business Survival Stories · host Fexingo
When the Iran conflict escalated in June 2026, a small Midwest auto parts supplier, Precision Components, faced an existential crisis: its sole titanium source was in a sanctioned zone, and raw material costs surged 40 percent overnight. Lucas and Luna walk through how the company's CEO, Maria Torres, pivoted within 72 hours—rerouting through South Korea, renegotiating contracts, and using emergency inventory swaps. They tie this to the latest GDP and inflation data, and the broader lesson about operational redundancy. This episode offers a playbook for any business facing sudden geopolitical disruption. #IranConflict #SupplyChain #PrecisionComponents #MariaTorres #CrisisManagement #Resilience #GeopoliticalRisk #BusinessSurvival #Manufacturing #Titanium #SouthKorea #OperationalRedundancy #GDP #WholesaleInflation #SmallBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #CrisisManagementPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
