Über diesen Titel

Stuff You Missed in Business Class is a business and history podcast about the real lessons they don’t teach in school.

While business classes focus on case studies with clean endings and heroic CEOs, this podcast digs into the messy reality of leadership, bad management, and disastrous business decisions that shaped companies, industries, and entire economies.

Each episode explores real historical cases of business failures, leadership mistakes, corporate collapse, and decision-making under pressure. From bankrupt empires and toxic CEOs to failed strategies and organizational dysfunction, the show breaks down what actually went wrong—and why it made sense to the people making the decisions at the time.

This isn’t a podcast about hustle culture, productivity hacks, or inspirational business stories. It’s a narrative-driven look at business history, management failure, power dynamics, and the uncomfortable truth that most business disasters start with reasonable-sounding ideas.

If you’re interested in business lessons, leadership history, management mistakes, corporate scandals, organizational failure, and understanding how smart people keep making the same bad decisions—this podcast is for you.

Stuff You Missed in Business Class Because real business lessons are written in failures, not slideshows.

  • New Coke: A Lesson in Metrics vs. Emotion
    Feb 23 2026

    In this episode, we explore the ill-fated launch of New Coke in 1985, a story of how an obsession with data led Coca-Cola to alienate its loyal customer base. We uncover how the company's focus on taste test metrics ignored the deep emotional connection consumers had with the original product, resulting in one of the biggest marketing blunders in history.
