Episode Title: The Glass Cage: District Liability & Risk (Episode 74)

Episode Description: "You can't be everywhere. But your standards can be."

For a District Manager, a safety incident isn't just a tragedy; it's a liability nightmare. If you aren't auditing for "The Broken Window," you are leaving your company open to negligence claims.

In this episode of Drive, Mike Hernandez teaches you how to audit for Risk Patterns across your territory. Plus, we give a special shout-out to Kristin (Member #1) for leading the charge! We discuss why "The Night Ride" is the most important visit you'll make this month, and Mike shares his personal "Lucas Plan" story to remind you that leadership is a marathon, not a sprint.
