Prepare for the Extraordinary

March 2020 wiped out tens of thousands in contracts with one phone call — Samuel bought PPE for his guards, called every creditor, got the SBA PPP loan, and instituted down-payment policies. Through Joseph's storehouses (Genesis 41), Proverbs 21:20, and the ant of Proverbs 6, the episode makes crisis readiness an advance-work business habit. It closes the loop with the good kind of extraordinary: the prepared mid-1990s hotel-lobby meeting with Rev. Jesse Jackson's security chief.
