What if surviving economic uncertainty isn’t about drastic strategy changes, but about sequencing your moves wisely? In this episode of Sequence Over Strategy, I break down how consumers react in tough times—whether they slam on the brakes, stay cautiously optimistic, or continue spending.
At the same time, products fall into essentials, treats, postponables, or expendables, shaping how people prioritize their purchases. The real win?

Research from Harvard Business School professor John Quelch and Katherine E. Jocz was referenced in this episode.
