Despite the economic crisis, Wayfair has seen an 84 percent sales spike, leading them to profitability during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, co-founders Niraj Shah and Steve Conine have also dealt with unexpected challenges, from hundreds of layoffs in February to employee-staged protests outside Wayfair's office in June. These conversations are excerpts from our How I Built Resilience series, where Guy talks online with founders and entrepreneurs about how they're navigating turbulent times.

The NextGen Enterprise Podcast
from traditional management to adaptive and purpose driven organizations
We are living a turning point in history.
Emerging countries have emerged, the margins of traditional activities are being squeezed.
We are entering the economy of innovation, fast and uncertain.
At the same time, the disengagement of employees in organizations is at its peak all over the world.
