Business Behind the Story is a documentary podcast about how companies really work — the decisions, strategies, money, competition, and people behind the businesses we know. Each episode investigates a real company, founder, industry, product, rivalry, collapse, or turnaround. We look beyond headlines and corporate mythology to understand how the business actually made money, what gave it an advantage, which decisions changed its trajectory, and what happened when reality stopped matching the plan. From technology giants and global brands to startups, retailers, airlines, manufacturers, and spectacular corporate failures, Business Behind the Story explores the forces that build companies — and sometimes destroy them. Because behind every business is a story about ambition, incentives, timing, capital, competition, and human decisions.

Business Behind the Story
Disney+ Was Never Just About Streaming
Aug 17, 202615 minS0
Disney spent billions building Disney+ to compete in streaming. Now the company appears to be pursuing a much larger idea.<br />Instead of treating Disney+ simply as a place to watch movies and television, Disney wants it to become the digital front door to its entire ecosystem, connecting entertainment, Hulu, ESPN, merchandise, games, cruises, and theme parks. This episode investigates why that strategy matters, how Disney's businesses reinforce one another, and why the real value of a Disney subscriber may extend far beyond the monthly subscription fee.<br />
Amazon was UPS's largest customer. For most companies, losing half the business of your biggest customer would sound like a crisis.<br />UPS did it deliberately.<br />This episode investigates why UPS chose to walk away from millions of lower yielding packages, how one of the world's largest delivery networks is being rebuilt around fewer but more profitable shipments, and why the biggest customer is not always the best customer.<br />
Boeing spent years investing in autonomous electric flight through Wisk Aero.

Starbucks Is Growing Again. So Why Is Revenue Falling?
Aug 14, 202614 minS0
Starbucks appears to be coming back. Customers are returning, comparable store sales are rising, and Brian Niccol's Back to Starbucks strategy is beginning to produce measurable results.<br />But there is a strange contradiction inside the latest numbers. Starbucks reported stronger customer activity while total company revenue actually declined. This episode investigates why that happened, how Starbucks is changing the economics of its international business, and why a company can sometimes become financially stronger by deliberately reporting less revenue.<br />
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
