Uncertainty is an inherent feature of life and should be handled by focusing on one's purpose and acting according to one's competence rather than labeling situations as problems.

“If your purpose is fixed, there is a way to handle [music] any situation.”

When faced with extreme uncertainty, one should focus on minimizing disaster by concentrating only on factors within one's control.

“I can only worry about the things that I have some control over.”

When facing high levels of global uncertainty, businesses tend to pull back to familiar territories, though the optimal response is to push frontiers and overcome fear.

“Part of what's happening with the kinds of uncertainty we're seeing today, I think is it's pulling people uh back a bit back inwards geographically, right? In the sense that they are they're going pulling back to territory you're more familiar with.”
