In this week’s episode of Anecdotally Speaking, Shawn shares the story of pioneer video game manufacturer, Atari, and how complacency resulted in the death of the company. Both Shawn and Mark are overwhelmed with nostalgia when this story is discussed, as it connects personally with each of the guys’ childhoods.

This story reveals how putting all your eggs in one basket can be harmful to the longevity of a company. This is a great story to share to a large group of employees or colleagues, as it is quite long and detailed.
