Episode Title: Shrink is the Enemy: The Owner’s Enterprise Protection Strategy (Episode 121) 

Episode Description: "If your business is leaking inventory, you are not just losing a few dollars—you are actively destroying the valuation of your business." In this episode of Arrive, Mike Hernandez explains why independent owners must move beyond "managing loss" and start defending their company's enterprise value through systematic, culture-driven asset protection.

What You Will Learn:

• Equity-Protection Audit: How to quantify the "true cost" of shrink, including hidden operational and management-time losses.
• Asset-Protection-to-Value: Why investors and buyers evaluate your business based on your asset integrity, not just your top-line sales.
• Exit-Readiness: How systematizing your loss-prevention protocols makes your business more valuable and independent of your daily oversight.
• Culture of Guardianship: Transitioning your management team into true owners who protect your store’s assets as if they were their own equity.
