The 1715 Treasure Fleet: A 300-Year-Old Lesson in Single Point of Failure in Business
On July 31, 1715, eleven Spanish ships loaded with years of accumulated gold and silver sailed straight into a hurricane off the Florida coast. Only one ship in the convoy survived. It was the one that had broken away from the group and taken its own route. That wreck is the reason this stretch of Florida coastline earned the name Treasure Coast, two and a half centuries after the fact.

Fractional Chief of Staff Palm Beach County: Break the Cycle Before It Breaks Your Business

South Florida Business Expansion: The Operational Gap Companies Don't See Coming
The South Florida office market is growing. National and global firms are not just visiting; they are relocating teams, signing leases, and expanding headcount.

According to the South Florida Business Journal , JLL's Dan McGowan relocated from Denver in early 2025 to lead the firm's South Florida brokerage, overseeing 100 people across three offices, with plans to expa

Small Business Hiring Slowdown: What Palm Beach County Needs to Know Now
You thought January would bring a fresh start. Budget approved. Roles open. Plans ready. Instead, you're staring at the same empty positions from December.
