He introduces the concept of the total cost of risk, emphasizing that neglecting risk‑related practices leads to hidden indirect costs, higher insurance premiums, and a negative impact on company culture. By integrating risk management into the core business strategy, owners can protect profitability and sustain growth.

Even though it's not the thing I'm thinking about every morning, it's how can I bring in more revenue? How can I keep the revenue?

But at the end of the day, the long-term grand scheme of things, safety, risk management, all that stuff's like big key piece.

What does that do to this culture of my company? There's all that stuff does have a massive impact on it.
