In this episode, we explore the life of John D Rockefeller, the titan who built Standard Oil and whose impact can still be felt almost 100 years after his passing.
Matthew walks through Rockefeller's early years and the extraordinary rise of Standard Oil, then dive deeper into the critical principles he employed—such as vertical and horizontal integration, operational excellence, strategic reinvestment, and economies of scale—enabling him to build lasting value that can be seen to this day.
