Are you wondering how to create a business that’s better, faster and stronger than the competition? 

Joe Urquhart – who is vice president of Overmyer Hall Associates, a chartered property casualty underwriter, and a construction risk insurance specialist – says the answer’s pretty simple: just limit your company’s exposure to risky situations. On this episode of unsuitable, Joe will zero in on four business faux pas you should correct immediately if your goal is to build a better business.
