At the height of their power, they were titans of their industries, seemingly invincible. Nokia owned the mobile phone market. Blockbuster was the king of home entertainment. Yahoo was the front door to the internet. And then, almost overnight, they were gone, rendered obsolete by a competitor they either ignored, underestimated, or fundamentally misunderstood.

This episode is a competitive post-mortem. We're dissecting the stories of market leaders that were toppled by disruptors, analyzing the precise moment they lost the plot. You'll learn about the innovator's dilemma, why listening to your best customers can sometimes be a fatal mistake, and how the competitive advantages that made a company successful can become the very things that lead to its downfall.
