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.

Jan 01, 2026: Pasadena Threw a Parade, and Business Joined the March
What began as a local celebration quietly became a blueprint for how business would attach itself to spectacle.
On January 1, 1902, Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses Parade shifted from a civic gathering into an early economic engine, drawing attention, visitors, and commercial interest through pageantry and promotion. Long before televised mega events, the parade demonstrated how visibility, tradition, and sponsorship could merge into a repeatable business model that shaped event marketing for decades.
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.
