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
  • The one rule every business—and investor—should live by: grow or die
From the Dutch East India Company to Kodak, the lesson is the same: if you don’t innovate, you evaporate.
