Some businesses survive intense competition while others disappear, often for reasons that have little to do with size or popularity.

On January 22, 2026, this episode examines the idea of the economic moat, the structural advantages that protect a business when competitors arrive. Through examples across retail, technology, and consumer brands, the story explores how moats are built, why they fail, and how durable advantages shape who endures when markets get crowded.

From bsnsHistory, the daily podcast about the moments when business quietly reshaped the world.

Written and hosted by Ron Trucks. Research and editing by Rodney Russ. Sound design by Angela Cahoy. Music by Cody Martin and Soundstripe.
