Episode Title: The 5 Levels of C-Store Mastery: From Dive to Arrive
Episode Description: Retail training is broken. It’s passive, boring, and frankly, it doesn’t stick. Today, we are pausing the standard playbook to introduce the new reality of the industry: Sink or Swim.
In this episode, Mike Hernandez breaks down the "Old Way" of training versus the "New Era" of the Operator. We introduce the 5 stages of a convenience store career and the specific mindset shift required to master each one:
- Dive (Sales Associate): How to stop drowning in the details.
- Survive (Assistant Manager): Escaping the "purgatory" between peer and boss.
- Thrive (Store Manager): Moving from 70-hour weeks to operational excellence.
- Drive (District Manager): The shift from running a unit to leading a territory.
- Arrive (Independent Owner): Facing the hard truths about theft, inventory, and legacy.
The era of the Passive Manager is over. It’s time to start keeping score.
