The Shady Business of Natural Disasters | Episode 83

In this episode, Ron and Kristin discuss the multi-dimensional aspects of natural disasters. The episode is inspired by the recent destruction caused by hurricane Helene. This powerful storm that left a trail of destruction in the Southeast. The hurricane left over one million people without power, and, at the time of this recording, there were at least 40 confirmed deaths. The storm has disrupted communities, devastated infrastructure, and pushed leadership and emergency response teams to their limits.

This episode also explores the dark side of natural disasters to expose ways that storms are exploited for personal gain. As always, Ron and Kristin provide leadership strategies, including links to the Red Cross and Samaritan's Purse for donations.

Leadership Lessons:
1) Pray for the victims
2) Donate to a credible relief fund
3) If possible help with clean up
4) Monitor the leadership and if they do no respond appropriately, vote them out.
