Founders often talk about “headwinds,” or the challenges that can slow growth, and “tailwinds,” which are opportunities that can move businesses forward.

But Kyle Shroufe, CEO and co-founder of Opal Energy Group, a national energy company specializing in solar, says that they're two sides of the same coin—and that there are opportunities in every market. “In a tailwind environment, you have to pivot to take advantage. If you don't, you're losing market share. In a headwind environment, if you don't pivot, you expose yourself to downside risk,” he explains.
