Ep 27: Cruising through History: The Rise and Fall of the Edsel
Description
This week we’re trying something NEW! Instead of one super long episode, we are giving you TWO episodes - one released Monday and the other released on Wednesday! Let us know what you think!
We start off with Taylor telling the story of The Ford Edsel and all the terrific marketing and business mistakes that were made for this staggering loss for Ford.
Firstly though, a plea to stop quoting Henry Ford for business things - we discuss that there is no ‘Great Man’ and nobody is perfect. However, we feel super comfortable drawing our first line at ‘if Hitler had a portrait of you hanging in his office and called you his ‘inspiration,’ we can do better’ (all that’s true).
Here’s an inspirational quote for you >> “I got my start by giving myself a start.” - Madame C. J. Walker
