Episode Title: The "Arrive" Mindset: The Assistant Manager’s Risk-vs-Reward Decision Matrix (Episode 114) 

Episode Description: "You are a leader who is missing the secret to growth because you are confusing 'compliance' with 'ownership'." In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains why Assistant Managers must stop being passive rule-followers and start acting like risk-managers who actively engineer better outcomes for their store.

What You Will Learn:

• Risk Identification Scan: How to distinguish between dangerous hazards and necessary growth-oriented risks.
• Reward-Calibration Logic: Learning to focus your time and energy on high-value "owner" decisions rather than low-value administrative noise.
• Decision-Autonomy Shift: Building your own credibility by documenting your logic and results to senior leadership.
• Risk-vs-Reward Matrix: Transitioning from an operational "rule-follower" to a strategic "outcome-engineer."
