Everyone loves a good success story. The glossy magazine covers, the smiling founders, the ideas that changed everything. But honestly, I’m Harrison, and I’ve always been way more fascinated by what happens next: that exact moment when the wheels start coming off. This channel is a deep dive into the giants that felt completely untouchable. From the garages that built the computer age to the multi-billion-dollar empires that simply chose to ignore the future. No boring corporate jargon or textbook lecture vibes here—just great stories, terrible decisions made behind closed doors, and the strange history of how the modern world actually got built. If you're into business backstories and epic missteps, stick around.
