Manage episode 457715671 series 2906026
Today we have a special year-end episode of Business Breakdowns, running through some of the best ideas that were featured on the podcast. The goal of the podcast is to detail whatever business we're covering that day. But when you think about the best investors, the best business builders, they're constantly borrowing insights from the success stories that are happening around them.
We start with a high-level theme and then explore a business's life cycle, from establishing a niche with Gartner to building a culture at Live Oak to refining operations via the lens of Trane. We go through the good and bad of business transformations told through the stories of Rolls Royce and D.R. Horton. And we cover what a clean financial model looks like through Inditex. Lastly, we wrap up with management stories that are underappreciated via Motorola and Winmark. Please enjoy this Breakdowns recap.
