In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams is joined by Norman Lowe, Investment Manager at SVN Capital, for a timely conversation about financial resilience in uncertain times.

They explore why many businesses do not fail because the model is weak, but because they run out of time when liquidity tightens, payments slow, or reserves are not in place. The episode looks at the difference between profitability and liquidity, the role of cash reserves, the importance of stress testing, and why personal and business financial planning are often closely connected.

Chris and Norman also discuss diversification, succession planning, insurance, long-term financial discipline and the practical habits that can help founders and business owners protect themselves before disruption becomes a crisis.

What causes a strong business partnership to break down?

In this episode of Muhami Matters, Chris Adams speaks with Michael Gansl, founder of Voice of Reason Consulting, about why conflict in a business partnership is often less about strategy and more about the conversations that never happen.

Michael shares practical insights from decades of experience as a founder, adviser and long-term business partner. The conversation explores how unspoken tensions around roles, accountability, money, trust and leadership can quietly damage even successful firms. He also explains why complementary strengths, clear job descriptions, shared values and honest communication are essential for any healthy business partnership.

Chris and Michael also discuss:

• the early warning signs of conflict in a business partnership
• how founders evolve from operators into leaders
• why appreciation and accountability matter in partner-led firms
• the role of culture and generational differences in partnership tension
• how professional services leaders should think about AI without losing the human trust that underpins advisory relationships

This is a practical episode for founders, managing partners, law firms and other professional services businesses that want to build stronger leadership and healthier partner relationships.
