Episode Title: The P&L Autopsy: The Assistant Manager’s Profitability Audit (Episode 110) 

Episode Description: "You are a leader who is failing to diagnose the silent leaks in your business because you don't know how to conduct an autopsy on your own performance." In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains why Assistant Managers must stop watching the totals on a P&L and start dissecting the processes that create those numbers to stop profit leaks before they escalate.

What You Will Learn:

• Variable Cost Drill-Down: How to investigate the root causes of labor and waste variances rather than just accepting them as "bad luck."
• Gross Margin Integrity: Identifying how procedural failures in inventory management and pricing execution are killing your profit margins.
• The Financial Briefing: How to transform your P&L analysis into a proactive solution-oriented management meeting with your Store Manager.
• Leadership Command: Moving from "number watching" to "number controlling" through systematic operational audits.
