Each one became the face of a very public corporate scandal. This episode unpacks the downfall of John Schnatter, whose meltdown tanked Papa John’s; Harvey Weinstein, whose decades of abuse shook Hollywood to its core; Carlos Ghosn, the Nissan exec who escaped prosecution in a box; and Andy Byron, whose brief Jumbotron cameo set off a viral firestorm his company hasn't recovered from. Add in wage theft lawsuits, illegal marketing schemes, and some jaw-droppingly bad decision-making, and it’s a crash course in how not to run a company. ~Become an Insomniac!
