Listen! If You Wait for the Shutdown to End, You Already Lost
Monday, 24 November, 2025
In this episode of The Eric Coffie Show, Eric challenges listeners to stop waiting for the shutdown to end and start preparing now—because when the government reopens, only the ready will win. He breaks down why agencies like DoD, CIA, FBI, and DHS are still fully funded and still awarding contracts, and shares real examples of entrepreneurs who are writing proposals, hiring staff, and securing wins during the shutdown. Eric and Randy also address community needs—including the launch of a women's group—and emphasize the importance of staying engaged, sharing ideas, and building the confidence to step into rooms with major agencies and primes. This episode is a push to stop hesitating, start preparing, and recognize that underdogs belong at the table just as much as anyone else. Key Takeaways Shutdowns don't stop DoD, intel agencies, or funded departments—opportunities are still active. Winners prepare during downtime: proposals, readiness, relationships, and strategy. Community matters—sharing ideas, building confidence, and creating spaces (like a women's group) accelerates growth.
