In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris uses Kodak’s collapse as a masterclass in corporate hubris. The company that once defined photography actually invented the digital camera in 1975—then buried it to protect its film business. Here’s what you’ll hear:
Why even “too big to fail” blue chips eventually die
The shocking truth about Kodak’s digital camera breakthrough
How fear of innovation opened the door for Canon, Sony, and Nikon
Famous cases where companies killed their own golden goose

From the Dutch East India Company to Kodak, the lesson is the same: if you don’t innovate, you evaporate.
