In this episode, I sit down with David Hori, a seasoned operational leader, investor, and acquirer with over 25 years of experience, to explore what it really takes to scale a business and prepare for exit. We discuss:

• How to structure teams for growth and avoid the common trap of managing by abdication instead of true delegation.

• The keys to hiring, employee retention, and building high-performance organizations.

• Productivity strategies that drive focus and momentum—using time as a tool to accelerate growth.

• Why operational dysfunction can actually be a buyer’s opportunity, and what “meat on the bone” really means in acquisitions.

• The role of technology and AI in modern operations, and how change management determines whether adoption helps or hurts.

Whether you’re a business owner, operator, or acquirer, this conversation is packed with actionable insights on scaling, leadership, and exit readiness.
