Growth doesn't fail because leaders lack ambition—it fails when growth isn't systematized.
In this episode, Adi Klevit sits down with George Sandmann to unpack what it really takes to build a business that delivers predictable results. George introduces the concept of strategic capacity, explaining how businesses must be designed to consistently generate cash flow, grow sustainably, and create value that is not dependent on the owner.
Adi and George explore the three dimensions of business growth: predictable profits and cash flow, predictable sustainable growth, and predictable transferable value. George explains why many businesses grow faster than their systems or cash flow can support, and how intentional design, scorecards, and process-driven execution remove guesswork from success.
The conversation reinforces that systems are not about rigidity. Instead, George uses powerful analogies—from Formula One engines to sailing in open water—to show how structure creates discipline, discipline creates freedom, and freedom allows leaders to adapt to changing markets without chaos. Together, Adi and George highlight that businesses with strong systems are easier to run, more resilient, and better positioned to deliver both financial results and owner freedom.
