Two start-ups a couple of years apart became the inspiration for each other to get better and better and better. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom-and-Pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us. But we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients, so here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the … Wait, what? Gosh, you told me the title, and I have some thoughts, and I forgot the name of the podcast there for a second. Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Stephen Semple: We’re doing two together here, Dave, Firestone and Goodyear. Dave Young: Stephen Semple’s over there. I’m Dave Young. And this morning we’re talking about Goodyear and Firestone, both? Stephen Semple: Yes, together. Dave Young: Because it’s kind of one thing now, right? Stephen Semple: No, they are separate. Dave Young: Was it? Stephen Semple: They’re separate. Dave Young: No, they’re separate. Stephen Semple: The story is so intertwined between the two of them. I couldn’t figure out a way to break it. But it’s almost kind of like when we did Hertz Avis, like they’re so interlinked. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So we’re doing it as a single podcast, the two of them. Dave Young: All right. Where do we start? Stephen Semple: Well, what’s interesting is they were both started within two years of each other, both in Akron, Ohio. So Goodyear was founded on August 28th, 1898 in Akron, Ohio by Frank Seiberling. And today they’re the third-largest tire maker in the world with about 18 billion in sales. And Firestone was founded in August, two years later by Harvey Firestone in Akron, Ohio. And in 1988, Firestone was purchased by Bridgestone for $2.6 billion. Dave Young: That’s the one. That’s the one I was [inaudible 00:02:51] yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and Bridgestone today is number two behind Michelin with Goodyear being number three. So both really, really big, really big companies. Dave Young: And in 18 when? Stephen Semple: So 1898 was Goodyear, and 1900 was Firestone. Dave Young: And this is before, this is before mass production of automobiles. Stephen Semple: Yes. Yes. Because if you go back to Episode 35 where we talk about Ford, 1908 is the Model T. So it’s pre-model T. Dave Young: Yeah. So which came first, the tire or the car? Stephen Semple: Well, because there were tires on carriages. Dave Young: No, that’s true. All right. Stephen Semple: And today Michelin is the largest in the world. So if you want to learn about Michelin, go back to Episode 27, because it’s also really interesting how Michelin grew their business. But so we’re dealing with Goodyear and Firestone. Dave Young: All right. So Goodyear- Stephen Semple: And if you think about it, you’re right. Most of the transportation at this time when these companies started were either horse-and-carriage or bicycles. That’s what basically people were using. And Harvey Firestone, he grew up on a farm and went to a business school and was a carriage salesman in Detroit. And at this time, the use of natural rubber is expanding due to vulcanization being created. Because before vulcanization, natural rubber was not very durable. It would crack and all these other things. And carriage wheels were basically a wood wheel with a metal rim around it, no give, a hard ride. Dave Young: Right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, even a rim made of rubber would be better than a rim made of steel. Stephen Semple: Right. So basically he’s a carriage salesman. What he realizes is that what we should do is we should put rubber, instead of steel around the wheel, and that would make a smoother ride. So he leaves Detroit, moves to Akron, Ohio, because Akron, Ohio at the time is the center of the rubber industry. Dave Young: Okay. Why is that? Stephen Semple: I think it had to do with just the fact there was a couple of companies that sprung up in the area. There was the resources in terms of water and a few things along that lines. Dave Young: And the rubber barons came in [inaudible 00:04:56]. Stephen Semple: But there was a lot of that that was happening with … Look, you see it in technology. A couple of companies happen and then … Dave Young: Yeah, there’s this- Stephen Semple: It attracts the talent, it attracts the people, it attracts the investment. Dave Young: There’s this synergy that happens. It was before the word existed. Stephen Semple: Yeah, basically. So he creates and starts selling a wagon wheel that has a solid rubber tire. And so he’s doing these solid tires, and he starts seeing the market shifting to a pneumatic tire. So a tire with a tube in it. Dave Young: With the air inside it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And he’s also starting to see car sales increasing so he decides to do that. Because even though it’s a niche, he’s seeing it as growing, and he didn’t really get great traction on the wagon tire. But the first pneumatic auto tire is this thing called a Clincher. The tire is attached to the rim by these metal hooks, but these metal hooks can kind of become a bit of a problem. They can tear the tire, things along that lines. So he decides to make, Firestone decides to make a superior car tire, and he creates this new rim and tire system that’s basically better than the Clincher tire. But the problem, at this point, is the rim is part of the car. Basically, it’s hard to change all that. So who’s willing to- Dave Young: Every car has a different one and … Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. So what he does is, is he approaches Henry Ford because he hears the Model T is coming out, and Firestone undercuts the Clincher to get a foothold in the industry. He says, “Look, I’m just going to come in with a really cheap price. That’s how I’m going to get into there.” And he gets an order for 2,000 units, $110,000 order, and he’s basically betting everything on the ability to deliver on this order. Okay? Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, enter Goodyear, a little bit of Goodyear history. So I mentioned Goodyear was founded by Frank Seiberling, and Frank had tried several businesses with no success, but he saw the rubber industry as an area for growth. Younger brother joins, and they need a name, and what the inventor of vulcanized rubber was Charles Goodyear. So they decided to call the tire company Goodyear after Charles Goodyear. Dave Young: Just associate yourself with that. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Now- Dave Young: Did Charles, was he in on it, or did they just named it after? Stephen Semple: They just named it Goodyear. Dave Young: Okay. You can do that, huh? Stephen Semple: I guess. They were able to. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So they’re buried in debt, things aren’t going so great, but what they wanted to do is the big growth around this time was bicycles. So they create a vision to create a new type of tire for the bicycle, because it’s a huge craze at the turn of the century, turn of a couple of centuries ago. So there’s like 300 manufacturers of bicycles in the United States, including the Wright Brothers. Dave Young: Right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: But again, they were solid tires. And what these guys created was a pneumatic tire, what Goodyear has created was a pneumatic tire for bicycles because it’s way more comfortable than a solid tire, right? Dave Young: Way more comfortable. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So they’re all in and this has to work, but here’s the problem. Bicycle sales stop because, essentially, everyone who wants one has one. So bicycle sales kind of collapsed. And so they’re struggling here, and what they decide to do is they look at the auto business, and they go, “Hey, the auto business is going over there, and we could create a better tire than a Clincher.” Dave Young: Yeah. [inaudible 00:08:24] Stephen Semple: Great. And so who do they decide to approach? They decide to approach Henry Ford because they hear about this Model T coming out. But Ford has already done a deal with Firestone, right? But Goodyear says, “We got an advantage. Here’s the problem. Their tire, the Goodyear tire, Clincher tires will also work on a Goodyear rim. Clincher tires will not work on a Firestone rim.” And here’s what Goodyear says to Ford, says, “You got a problem. Because if somebody needs a new tire, not everywhere had access to Firestone tires, but everybody has access to Clincher tires. So, therefore, our solution is better.” So basically, Ford cancels the deal with Firestone and goes with Goodyear. Dave Young: Oh, no. Stephen Semple: And basically says to Firestone, “I need you to make Clincher tires, which has almost no money in it for Firestone because they got to pay a licensing deal with Clincher. Isn’t it interesting in all of this, Clincher clearly didn’t innovate because we’ve never heard of Clincher before this moment? Dave Young: Oh, right. Yeah. I mean, terrible name, but- Stephen Semple: Clearly didn’t innovate. Dave Young: Right, didn’t figure out that we don’t need these metal things. Stephen Semple: Because they’re clearly the leader at the time, and we don’t hear them any longer. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. So they had a lead in the market, but … Stephen Semple: So 1908 comes out, the Model T comes out. It’s Goodyear tires on the Model T, Episode 35, go back and learn about the Model T, and Goodyear takes out ads that Goodyear tire is better. By 1909, all GM cars are Goodyear tires. By 1910, Goodyear is doing like four million in sales, which is like 30 million today. Firestone is not done. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So back to Firestone, they see these Goodyear ads, and they figure we’ve got to get a competitive advantage over Goodyear. We’re going to go back to 1908, go back a couple years. The auto industry, tire industry is exploding. The streets are getting clogged with cars, lots of dust, no rules, chaos, and tires are completely smooth. There’s no tread. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. That’s … Stephen Semple: And they’ve been all sorts of thing people are putting rivets in, metal, all this other stuff to try to create some sort of traction on these tires, right? Especially as the speed of the cars are getting faster. And what Firestone did, they did a lot of research to make traction. And what they discover is let’s do raised sections. Let’s put treads on the tire. Dave Young: Right. Okay. Well, I mean, there you go. Stephen Semple: Works way better. And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid- Dave Young: Stay tuned, and we’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And what they decide to do, they call it the Firestone Non-skid, and they put that as the pattern on the tread. So if you look down onto a muddy road, what you would read is Firestone Non-skid. Isn’t that awesome? Dave Young: That’s so smart. I love that. Stephen Semple: So basically the ad is on the ground. They sell- Dave Young: Yeah, because it’s written in the mud. It’s written in the snow. Stephen Semple: It’s written in the mud, written in the snow, written on the ground, right? So they sell like 40,000 units in the first year. And now Goodyear starts to feel the pressure from Firestone on the non-skid tire. So they’re like, okay, what are we going to do here? So what Goodyear comes out with is a diamond pattern because it actually has better grip than letters. And at the same time, it’s still unique because they’re the only ones that have a diamond pattern. And they market it as, and I thought this … You know how we always love this whole idea of attaching the familiar to the unfamiliar? They market it as the first all-weather tire. Dave Young: All weather. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Goodyear then, who was ahead of Firestone with this tire, and at this time, all the tire manufacturers are targeting the manufacturers. They’re trying to get in with the manufacturers. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: And it’s 1910. Firestone’s doing three million in sales compared to Goodyear’s four million. But what about consumers and replacement? What would make their lives better? This is the question Firestone starts to ask because it was really hard to change the tire at that time because early tires were attached to the rim, and the rims were permanently attached to the axle. So you couldn’t just remove the wheel and replace it with another wheel. What Firestone creates is a rim called a demountable rim. It’s this novel idea that you could just take the rim off. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. That’s great. Stephen Semple: And risk of tire failure was high. So guess what this created? The whole idea of a spare, and now anyone can change a tire- Dave Young: Nice, yeah. Stephen Semple: … because you’ve got an extra tire. You could just take the rim off, put the new rim on, and you’re all good to go. And this gets so popular that car companies are now creating ways to carry a spare, a rim and a pump, because now anyone can change tire by themselves. By the end of the decade, all Model Ts have a spare. And guess what? Imitators, including Goodyear, jump onto this idea. It’s 1916. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Firestone’s selling $44 million. Goodyear is 100 million and now the largest company in the world. So Firestone is still trailing Goodyear. World War I happens. April 1917, this huge mobilization campaign happens. Goodyear and Firestone have to pivot to wartime production. Firestone’s doing rubber boots and all these other things. Goodyear has been pulled into this top secret plan. They’re going to create an aircraft called a blimp. Dave Young: The blimp? Ooh, okay. Stephen Semple: And you know what’s funny? I always wondered, why does Goodyear have a blimp? Because Goodyear was involved in the crating of the blimp. Isn’t that cool? Dave Young: Right. Yeah, that’s good to know. Stephen Semple: So they’re both making lots of money. The blimp is the Goodyear blimp. We now still see it at football games and all this other stuff, right? And Goodyear’s expanding like crazy because of the war effort, and November 11th, 1918, the war suddenly ends. The war ending in World War I hurt a lot of businesses like Indian motorcycles, Goodyear, because what a lot of people don’t realize, unless you look back into history, that the war ended really abruptly. So much so that even the Allies, if you go back and read the history about World War I, we’re unsure whether to accept the surrender of Germany. No battle in World War I happened on German soil. It all happened in France. And how World War I ended is Germany basically did this one final assault where they threw everything at it and was basically it didn’t work, and they surrendered. And everyone was like, “What do you mean the war’s over?” But the problem is Goodyear thought the war was going to continue for a while longer and had a lot of debt and had done lots of expansion and were in serious trouble. In 1921, Goodyear had 85 million in debt. And so they had to bring in somebody to help refinance the business and part of the refinancing included Frank and his brother being removed from running the business. So in May 13th, 1921, they both resigned, the businesses gone to others. Firestone, they still remain involved with the business. By the 1920s, cars are going faster, and Firestone does one more really big innovation. And that’s the balloon tire, which is a wider, bigger tire, flatter tire, lower pressure, smoother ride. Six months, they sell 25,000 tires a week, and that’s really the precursor to the modern tire. Dave Young: The radial-type tire. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. That’s really cool. Yeah, war does weird things. I mean, in addition to blowing things up. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it does weird things. But the thing is, when I looked at Firestone and Goodyear, to me, what was really interesting was there’s no way you could kind of talk about one without the other because it really is a story of innovation, innovation, innovation. Dave Young: It really is a case of your competition makes you better, right? Because it went back and forth with both of them. Stephen Semple: It did go back and forth with both of them. Dave Young: Right? And the one that lost out was Clinker because they thought they didn’t need to innovate. Stephen Semple: Right. Right. They were the one that’s been lost to history as these two … Because they had, they were the market leader, and then these two coming along out-innovating each other, totally, like I had never even heard of them as a tire company. Lost to history. Dave Young: Me, neither. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Clincher. Dave Young: Clincher. It sounds medical. It’s such a cool story. I have one experience with Goodyear to tell you about. Stephen Semple: Sure. Dave Young: Back 2020 or so. Gosh, has it been that long? Really has. 20 years ago or so, I was in the motor press guild, automotive journalist, and auto manufacturers and tire manufacturers would take journalists on these trips, these junkets. And I got to go on one for Goodyear. They flew us down to Dallas and then flew us out to San Angelo on Mark Cuban’s 757. San Angelo, Texas is where the Goodyear proving ground is. So they have one of these big 10-acre, five-acre lakes that’s only a quarter of an inch deep or half in it. They can control it. It’s just a giant bed of asphalt that they can control the depth of the water. So we got to drive … We probably compared Goodyear to Firestone tires. Stephen Semple: Probably. Dave Young: You drive this pickup on a slalom course on the water with the new Goodyear tire, and then drive it with the competitor’s tire. It’s like, oh boy, the difference. But it was a fun trip. I also got to drive that same day out on the Goodyear proving grounds. They had one of those mining haul trucks. Stephen Semple: Oh, wow. Yep. Dave Young: Right. The three-story tall mining haul truck, and I got to drive that thing. Stephen Semple: I was going to say, did you get to do a 180 on it? Did you get it to do a 360? Dave Young: No, they didn’t let us drive that out onto the wet track, but that was fun. I mean, there’s a big tire. I think at the time, that tire weighed 20,000 pounds and cost $20,000. That’s what I remember about it. Stephen Semple: And it’s interesting when you think about tires because tread pattern and rubber compound and things like that are all the things that really impact performance. And yet the world’s largest manufacturer of tires became famous with an ad where they put a baby in the tire along with the slogan, So Much Rides on Your Tires, right? Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: But coming back to one of the ones I love with the whole Firestone thing was putting the name in the tread pattern. I thought that was just … Dave Young: Yeah, I think it’s great. It’s really smart and innovative from an advertising point of view, but as Goodyear proved, easy to knock down. It’s like, well, obviously a proper tread pattern- Stephen Semple: Is better? Dave Young: … is better than the word Firestone for keeping your car on the road. But- Stephen Semple: But again, it was so interesting because Firestone then, or sorry, Goodyear then even recognized by the diamond pattern, they still became unique because they were the first one with the diamond pattern. So it was this very interesting back and forth between these two companies. Dave Young: They were like the cartoon, the sheepdog and the coyote. They’d clock in and fight all day, and then clock out. And I would guess that the Goodyear and the Firestone, there were probably people going back and forth between one company and the other. They probably had the top secret. We hate each other, but the investors, whole different story. Stephen Semple: Well, it was funny. There was one thing I read about where basically if you were in the Firestone offices or foundry or whatever, you were not allowed to say the word Goodyear. And when you were in the Goodyear one, you were not allowed to say the word Firestone. Like it would’ve really been a massive rivalry when you consider the two companies, like how remarkable is this that two companies found within two years of each other, like almost exactly two years of each other in the same city- Dave Young: And then live in the same city. Stephen Semple: … went on to become number two and number three in the tire business. The one that became number one- Dave Young: Kellogg’s and Post. Stephen Semple: … was across the pond in Europe, right? Completely separated from this battle. Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you for this tiring story. Stephen Semple: You had to go there, didn’t you? Dave Young: Oh, gosh, I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. I did do it. I’m looking forward to the next episode of the Empire Builders Podcast, Stephen. Stephen Semple: All right. Dave Young: Thank you. Stephen Semple: Okay. Thanks, David.

…ON TODAYS PROGRAM… ASTON MARTIN ALREADY PONDERING... THE SEASON IS ALL BUT A WASH! WILL MERCEDES PASS A COMPRESSION TEST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RACE? FERRARI MUST KICK OFF THE SEASON WITH A WIN IN MELBOURNE. AND… FERNANDO COULD BE IN F1 FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEKS SPECIAL GUEST: ADRIAN ZAUGH AND F1W LISTENER BURAQ SARTAG FROM TURKEY! Champ Palou Opens Season with Dominant March to St. Pete Win ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Alex Palou picked up right where he left off in 2025, opening the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season with a dominant victory in the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Palou won his third consecutive and fourth overall series championship last season by a whopping 196 points, an advantage of more than three races, and he and Chip Ganassi Racing showed the same swagger on a sun-splashed Sunday in Florida. SEE: Race Results Reigning event winner Palou, from Spain, cruised to his 20th career victory in just his 99th start, driving his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to a 12.4948-second victory over the No. 3 DEX Team Penske Chevrolet of NTT P1 Award winner Scott McLaughlin. “This team keeps on improving, keeps on making new changes, and they just keep on raising the bar,” Palou said. “It's pretty impressive. It's a long season in front of us, but what a great way to start the season.” Christian Lundgaard, who started 12th, rallied to complete the podium finishers in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Kyle Kirkwood dropped from second late in the 100-lap race to finish fourth in the No. 27 JM Bullion/Gold.com Honda fielded by Andretti Global. Pato O'Ward put two Arrow McLaren cars into the top five after finishing fifth in the team's No. 5 Chevrolet. This was the first race in which INDYCAR rules mandated the use of at least two sets of the softer Firestone Firehawk alternate tire with red sidewalls, throwing an additional strategic element into the racing mix. And, as usual, Palou and longtime strategist Barry Wanser made all the right calls. The decisive moment of the race came on Laps 36 and 37. Team Penske called leader McLaughlin to the pits at the end of Lap 35, with Marcus Ericsson assuming the lead from second in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda. Andretti Global summoned Ericsson to the pits at the end of Lap 36, with Palou taking the top spot. But instead of calling Palou to the pits on the next lap, Wanser and Palou decided to stay out until the end of Lap 38 on their original set of alternate tires in an “overcut” strategy. It worked. Palou blended back on the 14-turn, 1.8-mile temporary street circuit in front of McLaughlin and Ericsson. Once the rest of the leaders cycled through their pit stops, Palou found himself out front by Lap 42. He would only surrender the top spot during pit stop cycles to finish the race, leading 59 of the 100 laps. There was a bit of suspense when Palou made his final pit stop at the end of Lap 67 with a 14-second lead on McLaughlin. Palou had used the required two sets of Firestone alternate tires in his first two stints and opted for the harder, but slower, Firestone primary tires for his final run to the finish. Kirkwood and McLaughlin made their final stops at the end of Laps 65 and 68, respectively, both taking the softer but faster Firestone Firehawk alternate tires. That tire choice offered a glimpse of hope that Palou could be reeled in after he took the lead on Lap 70, but Kirkwood never got closer than 5.5 seconds in his pursuit despite the more grippy tires. Palou, who started fourth, then pulled away at an astonishing rate over the closing laps to win by the largest margin in the 23 editions of this event. “Those Firestones were like everlasting,” Palou said. “They would just keep going. I had an amazing car today.” There was drama in the final 10 laps as McLaughlin and Lundgaard both took advantage of fresher tires to pass Kirkwood for the second and third positions on Lap 94. “Our Chevy was fast, but it's just a mixed bag on what tire you start on,” McLaughlin said. “Maybe we come back here again, and maybe you start on reds (alternate) and just get them out of the way. Overall, made the passes we needed to make at the right times, and I thought we maximized our day.” Dennis Hauger, who qualified an impressive third, was the top finisher among the three rookies in the race, 10th in the No. 19 Ault Block Chain Honda of Dale Coyne Racing. ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO UNVEILS LIVERY FOR 2026 F1 ACADEMY CAR AMRTC, Silverstone, 24 February 2026: The Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team has officially revealed its F1 ACADEMY car livery, which will be driven by German talent Mathilda Paatz in her debut year of the all-female series. The sleek design features the signature Aston Martin racing green and mirrors the team's elegant AMR26 livery, proudly carrying the Aston Martin Aramco identity on the F1 ACADEMY grid. Mathilda, who represents Aston Martin Aramco as a member of its Driver Academy, drove the liveried F4-spec car operated by PREMA Racing during the first official F1 ACADEMY test, which took place at Shanghai International Circuit between 11-13 February. Mathilda Paatz, F1 ACADEMY and Aston Martin Aramco Academy Driver: “Seeing the Aston Martin Aramco livery on the car for the first time was really special - it looks incredible and instantly made me feel part of the team. Driving the car for the first time during pre-season testing in Shanghai, I learned a lot. It was something new for me to adapt to, and I'm working well with the team at PREMA to become more familiar with the car. There were challenging moments across those three days, but as a team, we're pushing hard in preparation for the first race in China. By day three, I was already becoming more comfortable on track, and so I'm keen to get racing next month. I'm not setting my expectations too high, but I'm feeling confident - my goal is to do my best and have a clean weekend that I can be proud of.” Mathilda Paatz Biography Mathilda, 17, from Cologne, Germany, joined the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team Driver Academy in November 2025, and was announced as the team's F1 ACADEMY representative for the 2026 season, competing with PREMA Racing. In addition to her full-season debut with Aston Martin Aramco in F1 ACADEMY this year, which gets underway at the Shanghai International Circuit on 13-15 March, Mathilda continues to compete in the Formula Winter Series and F4 CEZ Championship, showcasing her adaptability and dedication across categories. Mathilda brings an impressive racing background. She began karting in 2019 at age ten, swiftly showing promise with third place in the 2020 ADAC Kart Masters - Mini category. In 2022, she claimed victory in the ADAC Kart Masters - Ladies Cup and finished third overall in the standings. Stepping into single-seaters, she became the first female driver supported by the ADAC Motorsport Junior program in 2024 with ADAC Formel Junior Team in F4 France. She built further momentum in 2025, securing four wins in the E4 Championship - Trophy Woman and multiple class podiums in the competitive Italian F4 Championship. Her F1 ACADEMY debut came as a Wild Card entry in Montreal in June 2025 with Hitech TGR, following a solid F4 Central European Zone (CEZ) Championship campaign where she achieved a podium (second place at the Red Bull Ring) and finished eighth overall with several top five finishes. This progression positions her as the second F4 CEZ graduate to enter F1 ACADEMY, highlighting her rise on the international stage. Palou Unveils 110th Indianapolis 500 Ticket INDIANAPOLIS (Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026) – Four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou unveiled the ticket for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Tuesday, Feb. 24 in Indianapolis. Palou earned his first victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” last May in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, and one of the many honors bestowed upon the winner is unveiling the ticket for the next year's race. Featuring the winning driver on the next year's “500” ticket dates to Mauri Rose's appearance in 1948. Spain native Palou received a special DHL delivery at K1 Speed in Fishers. He opened the DHL packaging to reveal an enlarged version of the colorful ticket, featuring a photo of his jubilant celebration standing on his winning car following the victory. “I always had to sign the ticket as a driver, and I always wanted be on the ticket,” Palou said. “It's amazing. I love it. It was probably the coolest day of my life, and I cannot wait to see it on a small scale all around IMS. It's going to look good.” Designed in house by Senior Art Director Mandy Walsh, the ticket celebrates the excitement of Palou's first “500” victory with his full-color image superimposed over an overhead shot of his car crossing the famed Yard of Bricks. The ticket also features a patriotic flair to celebrate the nation's military, which is honored throughout the storied event held annually during Memorial Day weekend, and the 250th birthday of the United States this year. Palou will defend his victory in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing” on Sunday, May 24 in the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with live coverage starting at 10 a.m. ET on FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, FOX Sports app and the INDYCAR Radio Network. Johnson Feasts on Home Cooking To Earn First Win at St. Pete ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (Sunday, March 1, 2026) – Nikita Johnson earned his first INDY NXT by Firestone victory Sunday, winning his hometown Grand Prix of St. Petersburg after prevailing in a duel of talented teenagers. Johnson, from St. Petersburg, delivered his first victory in just his fourth career start in the INDYCAR development series. It also was the first INDY NXT victory for Cape Motorsports, which Johnson joined this offseason after a part-time foray last season in the series with HMD Motorsports. SEE: Race Results “I can't thank the boys from Cape Motorsports enough and everyone from ECR who has been helping us,” Johnson said. “It's a pretty amazing feeling to get my first win in INDY NXT and Cape's first win in INDY NXT. I can't wait to see all my friends and family.” Series rookie Johnson, 17, drove his No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR entry to victory by .6990 of a second over pole sitter Max Taylor, 18, in the No. 28 Susan G. Komen car of Andretti Global. Rookie Tymek Kucharczyk rounded out the podium finishers in his first INDY NXT start by placing third in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports entry, 5.055 seconds behind Johnson. Andretti Global took three of the top five spots. Seb Murray placed fourth in the No. 27 Prosperity machine, while Lochie Hughes rounded out the top five in the No. 26 car. Johnson wasted no time asserting his command of this race, scheduled for 45 laps but halted on time after 55 minutes. He started second and used a bold, sweeping move to the outside of Taylor in Turn 1 at the start to grab a lead he would never relinquish. “It was pretty straight up,” Johnson said. “I reviewed some video from previous years on YouTube, the INDY NXT channel. I knew I wanted to get up front quickly, and I did just that. I went into Turn 1 and knew what he (Taylor) was going to do before he did it and just went around the outside. After that, I kept it pretty simple, tried to keep a nice gap.” Caution periods ended up being Johnson's biggest foe besides Taylor. The race was slowed by four full-course yellows, but Johnson held off Taylor on each of the restarts. Perhaps Taylor's best chance came on a restart on Lap 20. He tried the same move Johnson used to gain the lead on Lap 1, but his attempt at a sweeping, outside pass was unsuccessful. “All the restarts were pretty difficult,” Johnson said. “He (Taylor) caught on at one point, and I had throw in a little curve ball and change it up.” Taylor maintained pressure on Johnson for the entire race, never trailing by more than a second and keeping his car usually within six- or seven-tenths of the leader. But Taylor also never got close enough after restarts to mount a serious challenge to the race lead. The two teens traded blows over the closing laps. Johnson turned his quickest lap of the race on Lap 38, but Taylor countered with the speediest lap overall on Lap 39. “Good race overall, good points,” Taylor said. “Showed a lot of pace but just messed up on the start. “The restarts were very difficult to get right. Just kept trying to apply the pressure, trying different things. Probably could have had an opportunity to pass him there, but you live and you learn.”

Adam Cordova, retired LASD Deputy, in Episode 232 of the Transition Drill Podcast, shares what it really looks like to build a long law enforcement career without letting the job become your entire identity, for veterans and first responders navigating transition, retirement, and the next chapter. You'll hear Adam on his time in the SHU, to Gangs, then to secret squirrel stuff, and today a podcaster. All while balancing staying solid at home while still being great at the job.Adam grew up in the LA area in places like Compton, Lynwood, Inglewood, in the shadows of Firestone station, in an environment where you learn early how to carry yourself and how fast things can go wrong. He talks about a strict but fair father, being responsible for his brothers, and making a point to stay out of gangs even with that influence close by; his father was an OG “Veterano.” By his senior year, he was living on his own, working, and learning how to survive.Before law enforcement, Adam chased the fire service hard; he actually didn't like cops. He trained at stations, tested well, and thought he was headed that direction, but the process dragged out and felt like a game. A friend pushed him to test for the Sheriff's Department as a backup. That “backup” turned into the career.Adam got hired in 1990, and his early years were exactly what a lot of people don't want, but every agency needs: the jails, then court services. He talks about how that time either sharpens you or stalls you out, depending on what you bring to the work. In 1995, he finally hit patrol, and his first station was Walnut Station, which ended up being a lot busier than people assume. Walnut trained him in North County areas with gangs, drugs, and real calls, and he learned fast that a good cop can work anywhere if they actually want to work.From there, Adam moved into specialized work, including OSS, and later spent 11 years living the callout life where nights, weekends, and family time get sacrificed without anyone asking your permission. When homicide came up as the next “expected” move, he made a different decision and went to Tech Ops instead. He breaks down what that world actually looks like: trackers, bugs, hidden cameras, microphones, bug sweeps, digital evidence, and working warrants across the county with a small team that was basically on-call nonstop.Adam retired in 2022, and today he's still creating in a different way, working with graphic design and video production, something he'd been doing as a serious hobby for years. He also started his own podcast: A Proper Scoundrel, where he talks with former cops about the stories of their careers. Adam has a great story and offers great advice and perspective on having a long law enforcement career.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.

The first meteorite to crash land into Earth - and have its date recorded - impacted the hamlet of Ensisheim (in modern-day France, then Austria) on 7th November, 1492. The stone's descent created a crater in a wheat field, captivating villagers who believed such occurrences were cosmic signs. A striking deafening noise accompanied the meteor's descent; the bright trail it left was blinding. A young boy witnessed the fall and alerted the townsfolk, leading to a frenzy of villagers rushing to collect souvenirs and good luck charms from the impact site. The local magistrate intervened, preserving the meteorite by having it relocated to the church for safekeeping. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reflect on how the villagers reacted to the coming of what they called the Thunderstone, or Firestone; explain how the event was widely interpreted as a divine warning mainly thanks to the invention of the printing press; and reveal why the meteorite was affixed to the wall using iron crampons… Further Reading: • ‘This Famous 1492 Meteorite Impact Was Interpreted as an Omen from God' (VICE, 2016): https://www.vice.com/en/article/jpgk47/this-famous-1492-meteorite-impact-was-interpreted-as-an-omen-from-god • ‘The Meteorite of Ensisheim: 1492 to 1992' (Harvard, 1991): https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-iarticle_query?bibcode=1992Metic..27...28M&db_key=AST&page_ind=0&data_type=GIF&type=SCREEN_VIEW&classic=YES • ‘World's Largest Meteorite Weights Over 100K Pounds But No One Knows Where It Came From' (Did You Know?, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lJwXquFpHw This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

Colton Herta is a nine-time winner in the NTT IndyCar Series including the youngest ever at the Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas. He has also dominated events like the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach. It was recently announced that he would be leaving his Andretti Global Indy car team and moving on to become the test and reserve driver for the new Cadillac Formula One team. It's also expected for him to compete in the full F2 schedule as well, although as of this writing, no details have been announced. Herta spent 2015 and 2016 racing and winning in Europe in the junior formulae there, so that should also help ease his transition a bit. We caught up with him at the AGPLB media day where he filled us in on the intricacies of getting the most out of the Firestone primary (black) and alternate (red/green) tires for qualifying and racing. This knowledge will be beneficial to him in F1 as Pirelli also uses different tire compounds during race weekends. Enjoy!NOTE: For more information on Herta's F1 exploits, please visit: www.cadillacf1team.comTo hear an earlier raceschool.com podcast interview with Herta where he talks about testing a McLaren F1 car, please visit: https://raceschool.com/raceschool-com-podcast-colton-herta-interview-part-two/

Bonus Stop: Edzel Ford's home, son of Henry Ford! After touring Greenfield Village I decided I wanted to go to a bonus stop instead of another day at Greenfield Village. I was stunned by the outward aesthetic similarities of the Stan Hywet mansion. My wheels were spinning and memories flooded my mind from all the visits I had going to Stan Hywet from going with my mom to even working there. Railroads The Stan Hywet mansion is located in Akron, OH, my hometown, the “Rubber Capitol of the WORLD”! I shared a lot about the history of Firestone and Goodyear, who used a lot of rubber making tires, in this episode. But on this day of my fieldtrip, I thought about what made Ford so successful? It was making the gasoline engine car affordable for more people, specifically farmers. I gave a little background on Rockefeller and Vanderbilt too to prove my point of “access equals success”. And remember in the other homes the extensive libraries? Access to education and knowledge, right? And you know what made those two successful? The railroads because it provided transportation and access to more products and places. They were able to get their products to more people. And what do you think gave the North the upper hand in the Civil War? The railroads because they could transport supplies. And the other thing that made Ford so successful was his ability to pay his employees a higher pay than other companies. He was making more profit therefore able to pay his employees a higher rate. I couldn't help but to think about Eleanor Ford's role (Edzel's wife) in their home. She lived for 35 years still after Edzel passed. She had a sitting room off of her bedroom upstairs, that she turned into her study. She ran her household manager responsibilities from that study. And although she wasn't fond of the entertainment wing, she knew it was expected of her to entertain. She was very philanthropic and sat on many boards. But she was the queen of productivity. You see she would have multiple board meetings going at one time and then she could just pop in and out as they were being conducted. Genius! Internet Just like railroads were the gateway to transporting goods and people, now Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft transport information. And just like the Goodyears and Rockefellers could get their products to more people, it is the same way I can impact more lives. They have been able to be really successful in a shorter amount of time than before the internet and able to provide better benefits for their employees due to their success. Organize 365® could not be what it is today without the internet. It gets more products to more people. It provides a more level playing field because it is accessible to all. And it has allowed me to learn about business and manufacturing. And because of the internet … we have podcasts! Yet another avenue to learn and/or get your message out. I always like to think of how women made their mark on change in society through their uniqueness. Artificial Intellagance I don't even know what to do with AI! (sigh) As technology advances so too does our ability for everyone to be successful due to a more level playing field for small businesses. Technology, transportation, and information provides access to more education.

What does it mean to cry with God—and be healed by our tears? In this episode of Everything Belongs, we explore Chapter 7 of Richard Rohr's The Tears of Things, called The Alchemy of Tears: How We Learn Universal Sympathy and Grace, which focuses on the "gift of tears" as a sacred pathway to healing and transformation. At Richard's hermitage, co-hosts Mike Petrow and Paul Swanson discuss how grief, when honored, connects us to divine sadness and invites us into deeper compassion. Later, Mike and Carmen Acevedo Butcher are joined by Jungian psychotherapist, Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, to explore how we metabolize trauma and grief, heal intergenerational wounds, and move from pathologizing pain to putting it in service of love and justice.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Chris Cotton's latest venture into shop ownership puts his coaching philosophy to the ultimate test, and the results speak volumes. Episode Highlights: Shop Acquisition and Rapid Payoff: Despite once saying he'd never own a shop again, Chris purchased Firestone of Durango about a year ago, calling it “too good of a deal to pass up.” Planned as a three-year owner-financed purchase, he paid it off in just six months. Profitability and Growth: With a 31% net profit (compared to the industry average of 5–8%), the shop's success reflects the very systems Chris teaches. Advertising and Expansion: Spending roughly $10K per month, Chris follows his mantra: “Advertise for the shop you want to be, not the shop you are.” He prioritizes Local Service Ads (LSAs). Operations and Staffing: Chris rejects the idea of a “technician shortage,” noting great shops attract great people. Coaching in Action: Chris practices what he preaches: action based learning, accountability, and focusing on fundamentals like proper pricing before chasing more customers. For owners eyeing an eventual exit, he advises cleaning up financials 3–5 years in advance and building a business that thrives without daily owner involvement.

La Fórmula 1 encara la última parte de la temporada y vuelve de vacaciones en Zandvoort, como bien se ha explicado en el primer episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Pero, por otro lado, este fin de semana viene fuerte con mucho motor: WRC y el último duelo en la Indy nos mantendrán más que entretenidos cuando tenemos que volver a la rutina. Un nuevo Rally. En primer lugar, este fin de semana disfrutaremos de un nuevo Rally que entra en el WRC, el de Paraguay. Nuevo para todos y, precisamente, en medio de la brutal lucha que se está dando por el Campeonato del Mundo con 4 pilotos optando a todo y, entre ellos, el rey Sebastian Ogier. La prueba se desarrollará sobre caminos característicos de la región, con tramos técnicos y exigentes que pondrán a prueba tanto la resistencia de los vehículos como la adaptación de los pilotos. La elección de neumáticos, las condiciones de los tramos y la gestión de la mecánica serán claves en un rally que promete ser muy competitivo. La Indy: fin de curso. La Indy concluye este fin de semana su temporada con una carrera en un trioval, el de Nashville, un superspeedway, donde puede pasar de todo. Una pista que suele encantar a los fanáticos. El campeonato está ya resuelto, pues Palou ya tiene el título, pero, con las vacaciones de por medio, en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 quedaba por repasar las dos carreras anteriores, Portland, y la del fin de semana pasado, en Milwaukee, cosa que se hace en este episodio. Portland: tercer Campeonato para Palou. En Portland, Alex Palou aseguró su tercer campeonato consecutivo y el cuarto en cinco años, consolidándose como uno de los grandes de la categoría. Aunque Pato O’Ward intentó mantener vivas sus opciones, un problema mecánico lo apartó de la lucha. La carrera fue vibrante, con 242 adelantamientos y una batalla final en la que Will Power rompió la sequía de victorias de Penske desde 1999, logrando un triunfo muy emotivo. Palou, que había remontado con gran determinación, terminó tercero, asegurando además su novena carrera consecutiva en el podio. Milwaukee, doloroso. En Milwaukee, la estrategia y los neumáticos Firestone marcaron la diferencia. Alex Palou dominó gran parte de la prueba, liderando 199 de las primeras 221 vueltas, pero una bandera amarilla y la decisión de no cambiar neumáticos jugaron en su contra. Christian Rasmussen, apostando por gomas nuevas, avanzó desde la séptima posición hasta conquistar su primera victoria en la serie. Palou se quedó sin la posibilidad de lograr su novena victoria del año, pero aun así cerró un campeonato histórico, uniéndose a nombres legendarios como Foyt, Unser y Andretti. Qué esperar de Nashville. Con la temporada llegando a su fin en Nashville, Palou ya es campeón y buscará igualar registros históricos de victorias, mientras otros pilotos como O’Ward, Dixon y Lundgaard luchan por los puestos de honor. Será lo último que veamos – salvo que nos enganche la Nascar – de motor en el fin de semana, pero, seguro, no llegaremos cansados a ver uno más de los espectáculos del Campeón.

A silent danger lurks within the descending thoracic aorta. While most Type B aortic dissections are managed medically, up to half of these patients will either require life-saving surgery or die within just five years. So how do we separate those who will quietly recover from those on the edge of catastrophe? How do we protect the spinal cord, bowel, and limbs from the devastating consequences of malperfusion? Join the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery as they tackle the high-stakes decisions behind managing this unpredictable disease—where timing is critical, interventions are evolving, and lives hang in the balance. Hosted by the University of Michigan Department of Vascular Surgery: · Robert Beaulieu, Program Director · Frank Davis, Assistant Professor of Surgery · Luciano Delbono, PGY-5 House Officer · Andrew Huang, PGY-4 House Officer · Carolyn Judge, PGY-2 House Officer Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss general approach to diagnosis and management of TBAD. 2. Identifying high-risk features in uncomplicated TBAD and understanding their role in determining the need for surgical management. 3. Review endovascular techniques for managing malperfusion of the limbs, viscera, and spinal cord and discuss associated decision making.

In the early 1920s, Americans owned 80 percent of the world's automobiles and consumed 75 percent of the world's rubber. But only one percent of the world's rubber grew under the U.S. flag, creating a bottleneck that hampered the nation's explosive economic expansion. To solve its conundrum, the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company turned to a tiny West African nation, Liberia, founded in 1847 as a free Black republic. Empire of Rubber: Firestone's Scramble for Land and Power in Liberia (New Press, 2021) tells a sweeping story of capitalism, racial exploitation, and environmental devastation, as Firestone transformed Liberia into America's rubber empire. Historian and filmmaker Gregg Mitman scoured remote archives to unearth a history of promises unfulfilled for the vast numbers of Liberians who toiled on rubber plantations built on taken land. Mitman reveals a history of racial segregation and medical experimentation that reflected Jim Crow America—on African soil. As Firestone reaped fortunes, wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a few elites, fostering widespread inequalities that fed unrest, rebellions and, eventually, civil war. A riveting narrative of ecology and disease, of commerce and science, and of racial politics and political maneuvering, Empire of Rubber uncovers the hidden story of a corporate empire whose tentacles reach into the present. Gregg Mitman is the Vilas Research and William Coleman Professor of History, Medical History, and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. An award-winning author and filmmaker, his recent films and books include The Land Beneath Our Feet and Breathing Space: How Allergies Shape Our Lives and Landscapes.

On Episode 41 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Dr. Lisa Firestone — Clinical Psychologist, Director of Research and Education at the Glendon Association, and Senior Editor at PsychAlive.org. Dr. Firestone is the coauthor of numerous articles and book chapters and has written several books with her father, Robert Firestone, including The Self Under Siege, Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice, Creating a Life of Meaning and Compassion, and Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships. Her extensive clinical training and research in the areas of suicide and violence have led to the development of several widely used assessments, including the Firestone Assessment of Self-Destructive Thoughts (FAST), the Firestone Assessment of Suicide Intent (FASI), and the Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT), applied with both adults and adolescents. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Firestone explores how reframing our relationship with stress can transform our quality of life, presence, and performance. If you've ever wanted to transform the way you think about stress—and learn how to make it work for you instead of against you—this episode is a must-listen. She explains that “we're all going to experience stress in our lives, but when we shift our mindset about it, our entire experience changes. Stress isn't just one thing—it's how we perceive it. If we see it as exciting and challenging, our bodies respond very differently than if we see it as overwhelming or life-threatening.” Dr. Firestone challenges the common misconception that mindset work is simply about “thinking positively.” She notes that “mindset isn't about tricking ourselves into thinking positively—it's about changing how our nervous system responds. If you interpret a situation as dangerous, your body goes into fight-or-flight or even shutdown mode. But if you see it as a challenge, you can overcome it. It can be motivating, energizing, and even improve your performance.” One of her favorite techniques for reframing stress is surprisingly simple. “Replacing the word ‘stress' with ‘challenge' can be powerful. A challenge is something you can choose to take on, approach with curiosity, and even decide to walk away from. That simple reframe reminds us that we have agency, and that we can choose how we respond.” She also shares practical wisdom for building resilience over time. “We can train ourselves to respond differently to stress. That means growing our ability to handle it with self-compassion, preparing where we can, and letting go of what we can't control. The more flexible and adaptable we are, the more we expand our boundaries—and the better we perform in all areas of life.” You can learn more about Dr. Lisa Firestone's work at www.drlisafirestone.com, www.psychalive.org, and www.glendon.org.

In this academic-themed interview episode of Decoding the Gurus, Matt and Chris sit down to chat with Dorsa Amir and Chaz Firestone (@chazfirestone) about their recent paper 'Is Visual Perception WEIRD? The Müller-Lyer Illusion and the Cultural Byproduct Hypothesis.'In a conversation that serves as a welcome tonic to the endless lamentations of the gurus about academic groupthink and closed-minded silos, Dorsa and Chaz discuss the interdisciplinary nature of their work, debates around universal vs. culturally specific psychology, and the strength of evidence that visual perception varies between cultures. We also learn about the dangers of being STUPID: Studying Topics Uninformed by Prior Investigations in the Discipline, and attempt to uncover just how much Chaz enjoys popping balloons.A fun one that might even leave you a little bit more optimistic than usual!LinksAmir, D., & Firestone, C.

This is an episode full of Friday whimsy, covering the Chicago Cubs, Wyndham Clark's antics, Sheriff Scottie's department expanding, and more. Andy and Brendan run through an "apology" from Wyndham in the aftermath of destroying a locker at Oakmont and how he turned this moment into a plea for a spot on the Ryder Cup team. The two also discuss Scottie Scheffler's comments from Wednesday's press conference at the Travelers regarding what he considers a "fair test" on the PGA Tour. Speaking of the Travelers, Jordan Speith withdrew with a new injury and Adam Schefter took over Thursday's broadcast with some insane PGA-NFL comparisons. Leaderboard updates are provided for the Women's PGA Championship and Champs Tour at Firestone, where PJ's pick of Thomas Bjorn is fighting for dead last. To wrap up this episode, Brendan chats with Viktor Hovland about Brian Rolapp, Jay Monahan, Oakmont, and his favorite fruit.
Andy and Brendan are back home after a week in Pittsburgh (which some have called the No. 1 city in Ohio) and begin this episode with some U.S. Open cleanup. They double back on some takes from Sunday's show regarding J.J. Spaun possibly being a "flukey winner" and the Sam Burns rule situation on the 15th hole of Sunday's round. After closing up shop on Oakmont, attention turns to Tuesday's announcement of Brian Rolapp as the first-ever CEO of the PGA Tour. Andy and Brendan run through Rolapp's background as a longtime NFL executive and discuss the plan to "sunset" Jay Monahan at the end of 2026. Picks for this week's Travelers Championship are made, with the added bonus of new headset microphones in rotation! There's some Don Rea chatter ahead of the KPMG Women's PGA in Frisco and more men's major championship golf is on your televisions this weekend at the Kaulig Companies Championship at Firestone. Be sure to tune in to CBS Sports Network on Wednesday for the debut of "Eye on Golf" at Noon ET!

Most people fear a $43 million debt. Harvey Firestone called it “invigorating.” When his company faced collapse in 1920 and his executives panicked, Firestone seized control. He fired the sales manager, slashed prices 25%, and personally ran the sales department. It worked—not because he managed through fear, but through clarity. Firestone was the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company—an outsider who built one of America's iconic industrial empires by doing the opposite of what everyone else did. This episode isn't about tires. It's about how Firestone quietly built one of the great businesses of the 20th century by asking two deceptively simple questions: Is it necessary? Can it be simplified? This episode breaks down the invisible principles behind Firestone's success: positioning over talent, inputs over outcomes, discipline over drama. If you lead a team or simply want to lead yourself better, this story is a masterclass in building enduring advantages. This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Men and Rubber: The Story of Business by Harvey Firestone.
