Living Comfortably in Chaos: Resilience, Faith, and Startup Lessons from a Cyclone in Samoa with Ian Reilly
On this BizBlend episode, host Sana and engineer-turned-founder and author Ian Reilly unpack how to operate when life and business refuse to follow the plan. From surviving a three-day cyclone in Samoa with no power or water to steering an agri-tech startup through shocks like 9/11, the dot-com crash, the GFC, and COVID-19, Ian shows why uncertainty can be a competitive advantage. We dig into antifragile planning, anxiety vs. control, creative execution across art, engineering, and entrepreneurship, and why opportunity lives at the edges of chaos.
