Brooks Brothers | A Button-Down Bankruptcy Oct 02, 2020

Show notes

Crocs once teetered on the verge of total ruin, but after a long, bumpy journey, the instantly recognizable plastic clogs are back. The fact that people hate them may very well be what saved them.

Thinking Inside the Box | The Story of Domino’s Jun 26, 2020

Its chief digital officer called it “an e-commerce company that sells pizza.” Tasters across the country once said its products tasted like cardboard.
