The 1000-Day CEO is a show for private equity sponsors and the CEO operators who run their portfolio companies. Host Bill Canady of the 80/20 Institute breaks down how value actually gets created inside a portco — finding the number, building the team, and turning the first 1,000 days of a hold into durable EBITDA and a clean exit. Direct, practical, and built for the people accountable for the outcome.
Growth can create value—or magnify problems already hiding in the business. In this episode of The 1000-Day CEO, Bill Canady explains the Two-Line Ratio, how it reveals whether your company is truly ready to grow, and what you can do to improve it.
You’ll learn how to identify the constraint, concentrate resources on the vital few, and build the operating discipline required for profitable, sustainable growth.
