Episode Title: Building the Bench: The Owner’s Legacy Strategy (Episode 118) 

Episode Description: "If your business cannot run profitably without you, it is not a scalable asset—it is a personal liability." In this episode of Arrive, Mike Hernandez explains why independent owners must stop managing their businesses as a personal job and start building a structured, scalable leadership team that protects and grows the value of their equity.

What You Will Learn:

• Leadership Equity: How to assess if your profit is tied to your presence, and why that is a massive business risk.
• Incentive Alignment: Creating structures where your leaders have "skin in the game" and start thinking like owners.
• Exit-Readiness: Why operating your business as if you were going to sell it tomorrow is the best way to run it today.
• Scalable Organizations: Transitioning from an "operator" to an "equity builder" who creates wealth that exists independently of the owner.
