Behind every successful business is a story. It starts with a vision and a leap of faith. Along the way, leaders make bold decisions, ride booms and busts, and sometimes, they reach new heights. From Wondery, the makers of the hit series Business Wars, and Lindsay Graham, the host of American History Tellers and American Scandal, comes a weekly podcast that brings you the true stories of the brilliant but all-too-human businesspeople who risked it all. From Walt Disney’s creation of a theme park in Orlando, to the colossal failure of New Coke, Business Movers will explore the triumphs, failures and ideas that transformed our lives.

One of my favorite podcasts
I listen to this podcast all the time. I really like how the podcast is structured, but I think that they should release episodes more often. My favorite thing about this podcast is what subjects they chose and how relevant they are to our modern world.
Pepsi: Doing Good (Season 34)
Thanks so much for the history of Pepsi, especially in the 1940s through 1960s, part of which time period I grew up in on the West Coast.I wasn’t allowed to drink much cola in my youth so I was not aware of the cola wars, especially this Special Section of Pepsi. This Season 34 opened my mind more to what was happening in the South and the racial prejudices there—at that time in my life, the Southern part of our country “seemed so far away”. I have really appreciated learning “the history I didn’t know” through all of these Business Movers seasons!
