Founders, investors, and operators are increasingly asking tougher questions – not only about how quickly a company can grow, but how reliably it can sustain itself. At the centre of this shift are three practical indicators that matter across industries: profitability, retention, and cash flow.

GUT, SLEEP, STRESS: THE THREE HEALTH PILLARS MOST PEOPLE OVERLOOK
In the search for better health, people often chase the visible fixes — supplements, superfoods, fitness challenges, wearable devices. Yet beneath all of this lies a quieter truth: long-term well-being is built on foundations that are far less glamorous, but far more powerful. Among them, three pillars quietly influence everyday health — gut health, sleep quality, and stress regulation. Most people focus on these only when something feels off. By then, issues may have been building quietly over time.
