From the massive aerospace expansion in Long Beach to the high-stakes restructuring of legacy retail brands, these market shifts are creating a vacuum of information that local leaders must fill. In this episode, we break down how to use these headlines to establish unshakeable authority and why "waiting for the right time" is no longer an option in 2026.
