In this episode, Carl sits down with George Sandmann of Growth Drive to discuss how business owners can increase the value of their company by building strategic capacity.

They explore the gap between what owners think their business is worth and what it could be worth. The conversation highlights how improving leadership, systems, and execution can increase valuation multiples and create predictable growth.

Key takeaways:

Strategic capacity drives higher business value
Revenue alone does not determine worth
Most businesses are too dependent on the owner
Private equity rewards structure and discipline
Exit outcomes depend on preparation, not timing

If you want to build a business that creates long-term wealth and runs without you, this episode gives you a clear path.

Listen now and apply one idea this week.
