Episode Title: The P&L Autopsy: The Owner’s Wealth-Engineering Audit (Episode 120) 

Episode Description: "You are an owner who is confusing 'top-line activity' with 'bottom-line velocity'." In this episode of Arrive, Mike Hernandez explains why independent owners must stop managing their P&L as a simple report of the past and start using it as an engineering tool to increase the enterprise value of their business.

What You Will Learn:

  • Equity-Efficiency Audit: How to distinguish between "equity-drags" and "equity-boosters" to optimize your operational costs.
  • Throughput-to-Value Conversion: Why your daily transaction velocity is a direct determinant of your store's total valuation.
  • Owner-Level Forecasting: Moving from reacting to your monthly P&L to modeling your business outcomes for long-term wealth growth.
  • Wealth Engineering: Transitioning your role from an "operator" to an owner who designs systems to maximize enterprise value.
