Along with , and , we’re unpacking the forces shaping 2026:
You’ll get practical guidance on the forces impacting owners today:
• Interest Rates & Inflation
How financing, credit, real estate, and customer behavior are shifting and why small pricing mistakes are getting expensive fast.
• Labor Demand, Hiring & Wages
Why tight labor and sticky wages reward companies that invest in culture, training, and retention that leaves everyone else scrambling.
• Consumer Finances & Confidence
What happens when buyers hesitate, and how reading customer confidence early helps you respond before your pipeline shrinks.
• Why Lines of Credit Matter
Cash flow is lumpy. A strong LOC gives you breathing room if you secure it while your financials still look strong.
You’ll also get time to connect with other owners in a casual, conversation-friendly environment.
