Episode Title: The Exit Strategy: The Assistant Manager’s Operational Replication System (Episode 119) 

Episode Description: "You are an Assistant Manager who is essentially acting as a 'human bottleneck'." In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains why Assistant Managers must shift from being "heroic fixers" to "system-replicators" who build teams capable of running the store without them.

What You Will Learn:

• Manager-to-System Conversion: Externalizing your operational expertise into SOPs and training materials.
• Peer-Replication Mandate: Delegating decision-making to build a team that can self-manage.
• Continuous-Validation Loops: Why testing and refining training is the only way to ensure systemic stability.
• Systemic Scalability: Transitioning from "indispensable operator" to "systems-leader."
