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 08, 2026: Elvis Presley Born, Pop Culture Becomes an Industry
A single life quietly helped turn fame into a scalable, enduring business.
On January 8, 1935, Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, entering a world far removed from the cultural and commercial machine he would later shape. As his music and image spread, they revealed how sound, style, and personality could be packaged, monetized, and sustained over decades. Elvis did more than influence music, he helped define celebrity as an industry, one that continues to generate economic value long after the artist is gone.
