Financial Engineering Is Killing Your Business | Why Steve Jobs Was Right

Are you managing your business by spreadsheet—or by vision?

In this episode of The Platinum Business Break, Dan Owens tackles the seductive trap of financial engineering—the dangerous obsession with EBITDA, short-term profits, stock prices, and quarterly shareholder appeasement. While these financial metrics are important, making them your top priority is often fatal to your company's long-term success.

Drawing on over 35 years of business experience and timeless wisdom from Steve Jobs, Dan explores:

✅ Why financial engineering hurts long-term business health
✅ Real-life traps: EBITDA obsession, stock price chasing, shareholder and PE pressures
✅ Powerful quotes from Steve Jobs about the dangers of running your company by spreadsheets alone
✅ The proven formula Jobs used to build Apple into the most valuable brand on the planet
✅ Practical ways to refocus your business strategy on what truly drives lasting growth: products, people, marketing, and customer experience

Steve Jobs famously said:

"If you keep your eye on the profit, you're going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow."

It's time to rethink how you measure success—and rebuild your strategy around what truly matters.
