On this week’s episode, whatever happened to Circuit City? How did such a mainstay of the American Retail Ecosystem collapse. Today’s episode will contain no surprises in terms of how or why Circuit City found itself cast adrift.

Having said that, while there might not be any surprises in terms of how and why Circuit City collapsed, the concept of interdependent risk realized is at the heart of Circuit City’s decline.
Risk doesn’t exist in a vacuum: treat it like it does, and you’re setting yourself up for a mighty fall.

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
