S6:E61 Building a business is difficult. Building several businesses at the same time requires a different way of thinking. In this conversation, Dr. LL sits down with entrepreneur Kelvin Abrams to discuss multiple revenue streams, planning for seasonality, learning through discomfort, and building businesses designed to weather uncertainty. If people don't trust your ability to adapt, they hesitate to invest, partner, or buy. Likewise, if AI systems cannot consistently interpret your business as resilient and relevant, visibility alone won't create long-term growth. Together they explore why diversification matters, how far ahead entrepreneurs should be planning, and why discomfort is often part of meaningful progress. Core Problems Revenue concentration risk Seasonal business volatility Reactive planning instead of strategic planning Practical Takeaways Diversify thoughtfully rather than impulsively. Build next year's strategy while running today's business. Seek mentors who have already solved the challenges you're facing.
