Always Have a Backup Plan

The shady promoter story — short-notice show, bad instincts, quietly moving the artist to a different hotel via a trusted associate. Frames backup planning as wisdom-driven discipline vs. paranoia, ties to Field Notes #1's "know exits before you enter," and builds the faith case through Proverbs 22:3, Noah, and Joseph in Egypt. Gives leaders four backup plans to write (mission, money, team/succession, mouth) and resolves the shadow side: the plan serves the mission, not the reverse.
