Why Traditional Risk Management Is Failing Companies In 2026 with Dr. Gav Schneider

In an era of global disruption, outdated systems, and mounting complexity, risk management isn’t enough. Leaders who rely on traditional models are falling behind. In this episode, Chief Randy Bruegman sits down with Dr. Gav Schneider — martial artist, risk strategist, and author, to unpack why resilience is the new core competency for modern leadership. Drawing on decades of experience in protective security, executive education, and high-performance systems, Dr. Schneider explains why most risk strategies are reactive, compliance-driven, and disconnected from real decision-making.

He introduces the concept of Presilience® — a proactive, opportunity-focused approach that fuses risk intelligence, mindset, and culture into a single leadership philosophy. You’ll hear why post-crisis learning often fails, how siloed thinking undermines innovation, and why building resilient leaders means developing emotional intelligence, adaptability, and ethical alignment across generations. If you’re ready to stop playing defense and start leading through disruption — this conversation is your blueprint.
