👋Good morning. There are days you scroll past, and there are days you sit with. Today is one of the days you sit with. Twenty-five years ago, the business world stopped — trading floors went dark, flights were grounded, offices in a nine-block radius simply ceased to exist — and what followed wasn't just recovery, it was reinvention: security rebuilt from scratch, continuity plans nobody wanted to write became boardroom standard, and a generation of leaders learned that resilience isn't a strategy slide, it's a muscle. A quarter century on, that same instinct — adapt, absorb, keep moving — is still what separates the businesses that last from the ones that don't. Which feels fitting, because today's headlines are a masterclass in exactly that.
