Episode notes
System Definition

- These steps, when followed, produce a consistent outcome.
Undersystemization
- Many businesses are dramatically undersystemized.
- This is because business owners often excel at technical work, not system building.

- This leads to gaps, especially in areas they excel in, due to knowledge being trapped in their heads.
