Tom & Mick: Building a Wagyu Business, Managing Market Cycles and Leading with Purpose with Anna Speer
Q: How do you protect a business from market cycles, and does that come into your mind when you're making decisions?
Speer says vertical integration gives Stone Axe control across the supply chain and reduces its exposure to livestock price swings. Long-term customer relationships, sales across about 30 countries, full-blood Wagyu scarcity and disciplined cost management also help manage volatility.

Q: Can you put a bit of meat on the bone for private equity?
