Every day of the year has a story where business reshaped the world.
And each day, host Ron Trucks takes you through that story - part history lesson, part trivia fun - in less time than it takes to order your Starbucks.
And on Fridays? We cut loose with bsnsBloopers: the missteps, meltdowns, and epic fails that prove business doesn’t always go according to plan.

Dec 29, 1845: Texas Joined the Union and Brought Its Own Business Plan
What looked like a political formality was, in reality, a large and carefully negotiated economic deal.
On December 29, 1845, the Republic of Texas ceased to exist when the U.S. Congress admitted it as the 28th state. Behind the ceremony was a transaction shaped by land, debt, trade access, and long term leverage. Texas entered the Union with unique terms that influenced federal expansion, resource economics, and the business logic of scale in a growing nation.
