Ready Your Future | What Happens Next? 2nd and 3rd Level Effects

We usually prep for the first thing that goes wrong—the flood, the power outage, the supply disruption. But what about what happens after that? In this episode, I break down a concept that’s been on my mind for a while: thinking through the 2nd and 3rd level effects of emergencies. This is the kind of strategic thinking that transforms how you approach your entire preparedness plan, and I walk through real-world examples to show you exactly what I mean.

If you’ve ever felt like your preps might have gaps you haven’t considered, or if you want to develop that “see around corners” instinct that helps you stay ahead of problems, this episode is for you. I share some practical frameworks you can use to audit your own preparedness and start thinking more strategically about how emergencies unfold. It’s not about being scared—it’s about being smart.
