A short motivational monologue by Omar Zenhom contrasting "peacetime" (smooth, building businesses) with "wartime" (crises that build resilient entrepreneurs and leaders). The speaker emphasizes that wartime is clarifying, reveals priorities and character, and that surviving hard times multiplies leadership capacity ("you'll be 10 times the leader you were before").
Peacetime builds the business. A really beautiful, smooth running business. But wartime builds entrepreneurs. It builds people that can get through anything no matter what. The business is the next business, the next business, the next venture. Being in wartime mode is scary. Okay, it's stressful, but it's also clarifying. It shows you what matters in the moment, who matters and what you're made of. It's those moments that I'm most proud of, not the wins. It's getting out of those tough times. And if you make it through, and I believe you will, you'll be 10 times the leader you were before.
