Does your business actually work without you? 🚀🏗️

In this episode of the Prime People Podcast, we sit down with David Hori, a startup veteran who has navigated high-level exits to tech giants like Toyota. David doesn't think like a consultant; he thinks like a buyer. He’s here to ask the uncomfortable questions: If you stepped away tomorrow, what would break?

If you are a service professional, real estate agent, or entrepreneur struggling to move from "founder-led" to "systems-led," this is your roadmap. We discuss how to extricate yourself from the day-to-day, how to simplify complex processes, and why your personal brand might actually be hurting your company's resale value.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • The "80/10/10" Rule: How to stay involved in vision while automating delivery.
  • Personal Brand vs. Enterprise Value: Why being the "face" of the business can be a trap.
  • The Culture of Excellence: Lessons from Tom Brady on maintaining standards as you scale.
  • Breaking the Revenue Ceiling: Why most businesses get stuck at $3M and how to push through.
  • The Power of Content: How a social media presence reduces the sales cycle by 30%.

David Hori is an M&A expert and acquisition entrepreneur. After years of building VC-funded startups and leading companies through major acquisitions, he now focuses on buying existing businesses and applying scale frameworks to drive massive growth.
