Podcasts about Big business

In our lively chat, we dive into a smorgasbord of topics, from the accessibility of musical instruments (which we still can't play) to our childhood attempts at entrepreneurship with lemonade stands and school fundraisers (spoiler: we didn't make millions). We even touch on the spiritual side of certain instruments, though our spiritual journey mostly involves trying not to trip over them. Our conversation is peppered with laughter as we reflect on the simple joys and creative chaos of childhood, which somehow shaped our understanding of business and community (or at least that's what we tell ourselves). We share hilarious tales of our childhood food escapades, including bizarre ice cream flavors and culinary misadventures at fairs and street vendors. We also reminisce about cruise ship life, discussing the glamorous (or not-so-glamorous) life of performers on board, and wax nostalgic about our favorite video games, which we still play with the same enthusiasm as when we were kids. It's a conversation filled with laughter, insights, and a healthy dose of self-mockery about our personal tastes and experiences.

When Trump announced that the American government would be taking an equity stake in Intel, Mussolini likely turned over in his grave. The blending of Big Business with Government was not invented by Trump or Mussolini, but really is best exemplified by the British East India Company. The most powerful company in the history of Western civilization was the East India Company, which later merged with the British government. They cornered the market on textiles for over a century, while simultaneously running the global opium industry and slave trade. Its creation and use of private mercenary armies allowed it to control India long before the British government did, while the East India Company's leased troops massively outnumbered the Indian military for centuries.

  How Western governments, the media & billionaires have dumbed us down! (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast 208, Season 21, Episode 0009 In this week's second part of a two-part edition of The Black Spy Podcast, Dr. Rachel Taylor rejoins Carlton King to continue dissecting the forces that they began explaining last week. Dr. Rachel she argues, governments, billionaires and the mainstream mass media they control, have combined to engineer a less critical, more malleable Western society. Together, they explore how political expediency, cultural trends, and financial power converge to shape the mindset of citizens — often to the advantage of elites. Together Carlton and Rachel explore Wokeism, Infantilization, Political Expediency and undue influence by Big Business, Billionaires, and the powers that be have dumbed down western styled democracyThe discussion tackles the rise of wokeism as both a cultural movement and a political tool. Dr. Taylor examines how, rather than promoting genuine inclusivity or tolerance, the rhetoric of “wokeness” is often used superficially by politicians and institutions to avoid deeper, more difficult reforms. This, she argues, has infantilized Western youth, encouraging them to view the world through oversimplified moral binaries rather than cultivating resilience, complexity of thought, or responsibility. Carlton and Dr. Taylor ask whether this culture of fragility has left the next generation more dependent, less capable of critical thinking, and easier to manipulate. Moreover Dr. Rachel and Carlton also turn the minds to the influence of corporations and billionaires, highlighting how immense financial power shapes political agendas. They suggests that the alignment of big business and political actors promotes short-term expediency over long-term strategy, leaving the average citizen disempowered and distracted. Through advertising, media control, and cultural sponsorship, corporations not only influence consumption but also reinforce the infantilization of society by rewarding conformity and discouraging dissent. The result, they argue, is a Western public increasingly unable — or unwilling — to challenge authority or demand genuine accountability. All aspects reinforvced by the mainstream mass media who now hire news readers not analytical news anchors. Conclusion Across both episodes, the conversation underscores a provocative thesis: that Western citizens have been systematically dumbed down through a cocktail of cultural manipulation, political calculation, mainstream media manipulation and financial dominance. Dr. Taylor contends, that this serves the interests of those who benefit from a passive, compliant, and distracted public. Listeners can expect a forthright, challenging dialogue that pulls no punches in questioning the health of Western democracy and the resilience of its citizens in the face of elite control.

On today's Black Entrepreneur Blueprint podcast episode # 584, Jay Jones breaks down the hidden truth about how our culture is monetized—and reveals practical steps we can take to reclaim ownership, build wealth, and empower our communities with the influence we already have.

Nick Hopwood, CFP® and Jim Pilat, CFP® of Peak Wealth, hosting the Trust  the Plan Podcast draw a thoughtful comparison between the major blue‑chip companies of the early 1990s and today's corporate giants. They reflect on how, back then, names like GE, Exxon, IBM and Coca‑Cola dominated with longstanding industrial and consumer staples. In contrast, their 2025 lineup features tech‑driven titans and digital platforms whose influence extends far beyond traditional market sectors. Through this discussion, they underscore how the shift from physical goods to data‑powered services has radically transformed which companies shape and lead the global economy. — Peak Wealth Management is a financial planning and wealth management firm in Plymouth, MI.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Susan Linn returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to expose how Big Tech and big business are working to replace—not support—parents. From algorithmic toys and social robots to persuasive “educational” marketing, today's most powerful industries are selling convenience at the cost of creativity, relationships, and childhood itself. Dr. Linn, a renowned psychologist, author, and pioneer in protecting children from commercial exploitation, unpacks how screens and toys that “do too much” rob kids of the very experiences they need to thrive—free play, boredom, human connection, and imagination. She explains how even well-meaning parents are being manipulated by corporate messaging designed to wear them down and wear them out. If you've ever felt like you're swimming upstream as a parent in a tech-saturated world, this episode is your life raft. Your presence matters more than any device ever could.
