What Happens When You Say No

Teresa Nikas examines a high-stakes legal battle between a private AI company and the U.S. government, raising a deeper question: what happens when a business says no to power? In this episode of Quiet Echo, she explores the cost of principle, the line between negotiation and punishment, and why every business owner should be paying attention.
