The Genius Of Coco Cola's Marketing
How Coca-Cola stole Christmas - the greatest marketing ever? It was the 1920’s and Coca-Cola had a big problem. People mostly thought of their product as a refreshing drink in summer, but sales normally dropped substantially in the winter when it got colder. And this makes sense - who gets in from the snow, feeling freezing cold, and immediately thinks: I want a cold glass of Coke. So Coca-Cola desperately needed a way to improve sales in winter, but just running more ads wasn’t going to be enough to change people’s perceptions of the product - they needed something that would create a deeper long-lasting connection in consumers' minds between Coke and winter. We'll answer questions like: Did coke create Santa? Did Coca-cola change Santa to red and white? And how did Coca-Cola create one of the most powerful brand associations in marketing history, heling Coca-Cola become the billion dollar empire it is today.

Why FedEx Bet Their Entire Company In A Casino
THE INSANE STORY OF FEDEX... FedEx employs well over half a million people worldwide, has a market cap of over $40 billion dollars, and delivers millions of packages every day in countries all over the world. But, in the early 1970’s, this future shipping empire depended on one man, $5,000, and a weekend in Las Vegas. This is the absolutely crazy story of FedEx...
Frederick Wallace Smith, founder of FedEx, did not get off to a good start in life. At the age of four his father passed away, and for the first 10 years of his life, Fred was afflicted with a type of childhood arthritis called Perthes disease that affected his hips, temporarily causing a loss of blood flow and affecting his ability to walk. Thus, Fred was forced to spend his early years in leg braces and use crutches to get around. And Fred faced bullying as a child because of his condition. However by his 10th birthday Fred had overcome this, and he not only was able to walk, but within a few years began to acquire a love for flying - something that would play a pivotal role in his future success. But during high school, Fred started his first small business, The Ardent Record Company, which he founded along with some friends. It started as a small recording studio in a garage, but eventually grew into a larger recording company which actually still operates to this day. However Fred left the company in 1962 to go to Yale University and study economics. In his junior year, Fred wrote a term paper where he proposed a business idea that he said could revolutionize the way goods were transported. Now at the time, packages were shipped throughout the US in the cargo holds of commercial airliners, and thus delivery schedules were at the mercy of the passenger airlines. This meant package delivery times were much slower and less predictable. So for people who had something to send urgently - for example medical supplies or legal documents, surely there had to be a better and faster way?
So Fred’s idea was to buy a fleet of jets, fly in the middle of the night whilst airports weren’t busy with outgoing flights, then sort the packages at one central hub, and deliver the packages from there by truck. Fred believed this idea of carrying small high priority packages at night would mean that companies and individuals could have their packages delivered in just 1 or 2 days, much faster than the current restrictive airline schedule. Fred was excited about his idea and handed in his college paper - however he ended up only getting a C grade from his economics professor, who told him that the idea wasn’t feasible and wouldn’t work. This is the story of how Fred Smith built FedEx, and turned it into a billion dollar shipping empire - whilst the FedEx story is undoubtedly a business success story, it's definitely not your typical business story, as it involves 'investing' (gambling) the company's remaining funds at the casino to try and save the business. Welcome to the crazy company history of FedEx (formerly Federal Express) by MagnatesMedia.

The Controversial Twins Who Own All The Bitcoin
Mark Zuckerberg's #1 Enemy: The Bitcoin Kings 👑
Revenge of The Winklevii: The Bitcoin Kings (Wealth, Fraud & Revolution) --- The story of bitcoin and the Winklevoss twins (the first known bitcoin billionaires). This bitcoin documentary looks at the story of how Bitcoin began, the early stages of Bitcoin's rise, and how The Winklevoss twins became bitcoin billionaires after hearing about cryptocurrency in Ibiza.
The Bitcoin Billionaires (aka The Bitcoin Kings: How The Winklevoss Twins Changed Everything) is a story of revolution and redemption. A tale of obscene wealth and power. This is the truth about the Bitcoin Billionaires....
By now, the origins of Facebook are pretty well documented. Mark Zuckerberg meets with Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss about being the developer for their new social network idea. Mark agrees to help them build their website, but ends up stringing them along for months, whilst he secretly starts working on his own social network. When the twins realize what’s happened, they sue Zuckerberg for stealing their idea. Years later, the hugely successful Hollywood movie about Facebook’s origin would be set around this legal battle. But, have you ever wondered what happened next?
Well, eventually the Winklevoss twins - or the Winklevii as they’re often known - were offered a $65 million dollar settlement by Facebook. Their lawyers urged them to take it. However whilst it was a vast amount of money, the Winklevoss twins said they wanted payment in Facebook stock instead. However for the Winklevii, this wasn’t so much about the money. They were from a wealthy family already. Facebook was a multi-billion dollar company by this point, and they knew it had even more growth to come, so they at least wanted a piece of it. That decision to get paid in stock instead of cash, turned out to be a very good move. When facebook had its IPO, the Winklevii’s shares became worth half a billion dollars.
But there was one problem: going up against Zuckerberg so publicly like this had ruined their reputation - they were now regarded as a bit of a joke in the media, and in the Facebook movie they came across as pretty spoiled and entitled. The Winklevoss twins wanted to use their money from Facebook's shares to invest in other Silicon Valley companies, but their attempts at being business investors went terribly, as their reputations were so tarnished thanks to Facebook.
Then on a beach in Ibiza, the Winklevoss twins heard about this new technology called Bitcoin. They heard how “Bitcoin is digital money, an electronic cash system that’s completely decentralized, so it cuts out the need for middlemen like banks or Visa and Mastercard." Given that the banks had just been bailed out by taxpayers after the 2008 market crash, it was easy to see some of the benefits of a decentralized system of money. However, Bitcoin was created by a guy called Satoshi Nakamoto, who suddenly disappeared.
The Winklevoss twins would later invest in Charlie Shrem's bitcoin company called BitInstant, which helped people buy Bitcoin in an easy way. Basically, people paid the company normal fiat cash, and BitInstant would send them bitcoin, in return for a small commission fee. Once the Winklevoss twins became investors, they also began buying bitcoin. This video of the bitcoin billionaires looks at the crazy story of what happened next, once the Winklevii became entangled in the world of crypto, bitcoin, web 3 and more.

The UNTOLD Truth of Burger King
In 1957, when McDonald’s was doubling the number of restaurants it opened every year, a little-known Florida start-up called Insta-Burger was on the brink of bankruptcy and fighting to keep its doors open. However, this failing business would later become the global fast food empire Burger King, making tens of billions of dollars a year, and operating in over 100 countries around the world. The truth of how they achieved this is crazy, and involves smashing up their own equipment with a hatchet. But, whilst Burger King is undeniably an inspiring underdog entrepreneurial success story, there’s also a dark twist. Because the secret to Burger King’s success… was stolen. In this story of Burger king, we’ll see how Burger King became successful, the company’s successes and failures, and lots more fascinating details about the history of Burger King.
Burger King started out as 1 single store called ‘Insta-Burger’, and it was failing horribly.

The Man Who Robbed An Entire Country
The greatest financial heist - how an unknown guy called Jho Low stole billions of dollars in an audacious financial scam involving Malaysia's investment fund, 1MDB. Jho Low probably had more spending power than anyone else on Earth, since his money wasn't tied up in stocks, real estate or other illiquid assets and investments. Jho Low had cash to spend. And he spent those millions of dollars the same way any of us might dream of: throwing extravagant parties, networking with celebrities and even financing movies like The Wolf of Wall Street (which is kinda ironic a film about a financial scam was financed thanks to a financial scam).
Jho Low's financial fraud was achieved through shell accounts, tax havens and the use of loopholes and bearer shares. But most importantly, Jho Low become a billionaire because of his networking abilities - he strategically worked his way into the lives of the rich and famous. However, financial fraud like this has very real world repercussions - that money was meant to help the country of Malaysia, and be used in construction products that could have really benefited a lot of people. This is the insane story of Jho Low, and how to get rich fast if you have no morals.
Money. Power. Status. Jho Low wanted them all, and identified sovereign wealth funds as his opportunity to get rich quick. With some political bribes and the help of Goldman Sachs (and investment banker Tim Leissner), Jho Low become extremely rich very fast. This is the INSANE and controversial story of Jho Low and the 1MDB fund. I hope you enjoy this finance mini-movie from MagnatesMedia! :) #finance #wealth #richlifestyle #documentary #business

What Really Happened To Jack Ma & Alibaba
The INSANE story of Jack Ma, and the story of Alibaba. Today we know him as Jack Ma, but back in 1964 when he was born in China, he was called Yun Ma, and it was a foreign tourist who suggested he use the English name Jack Ma. However, Jack Ma's beginnings were extremely humble - so the story of how he built Alibaba from nothing and grew the company to be worth billions of dollars is incredible. In fact, Alibaba had the largest IPO in history when it began selling shares on the stock market. And Jack Ma's other company, The Ant Group (Alibaba's fintech sister company) was also due to have the largest IPO in history - however events in China meant that was abruptly cancelled. And instead people began to ask: where is Jack Ma? This is the crazy story of Jack Ma & the rise of Alibaba! (Aka the rise & fall of Jack Ma). We'll also be looking at how Alibaba became a conglomerate, including its initial funding from Goldman Sachs and Masayoshi Son (Softbank) along with their launch of Taobao and business battle with eBay. The story of Alibaba is pretty crazy, and I hope you enjoy.

Why You've Never Heard Of Twitter's Real Founder
The story of Twitter is a tangled web of lies and betrayals. But, it all begins in 2005, with a little start-up called Odeo. Odeo aimed to become the home of podcasting on the internet - a place where users could record and share their audio files. However, Odeo would soon pivot to Twitter, a platform for users to share their statuses online. This decision would set in motion a series of betrayals by the Twitter founders, as they compete for control of running Twitter. This video tells the behind the scenes story of twitter, largely based on the book Hatching Twitter.

The Only Man Richer Than Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk
The Story of John D Rockefeller - the richest self made man ever? The ultimate rags to riches tail of one of history's wealthiest businessmen, oil magnate, John D. Rockefeller. When adjusting for inflation, some estimate his net worth would have today been around 400 billion dollars, making him the richest person in the world. But how did he build his business empire & make so much money? This video is Rockefeller's story...
John D. Rockefeller, the oil magnate that’s widely considered the richest American of all time, with an approximate net worth of around 400 billion dollars in today’s money, even after giving a substantial amount of his fortune away.
And yet, he started from very humble beginnings. When he turned 16 Rockefeller dropped out of school and got his first real job as a book-keeper, earning just 50 cents a day. However, after working there for around 2 years, his employers still refused to give him a meaningful raise, and so he decided to start his own produce business, as he had a goal to make $100,000, and knew he’d need to build something of his own to reach that target.
Luckily, that first job had already taught him a lot, and gave him the experience, connections and reputation, to raise $4,000 for starting his own venture; a business selling goods like meat, hay and grain. Which did well, in the first year of trading it made almost half a million dollars - of course Rockefeller didn’t keep all of that, a lot of it went back into business expenses and loans, but it meant when a big opportunity arose, he now had some real money to invest.
And that opportunity, was oil. In 1859, the first American oil well was discovered, which began the Pennsylvania oil rush. However, Rockefeller realised that whilst most people were trying to get rich from drilling oil, the bigger profits were actually in oil refinery. So, at just 24 years old, he used the money from his first business to build an oil refinery.
Now, around this time he met a man named Henry Flagler who was interested in investing in his business, and so together they incorporated the Standard Oil Company, and began the process of buying out all the smaller nearby oil refineries that were in competition with them. Whenever any of these refineries refused to sell their oil to him, he simply started selling his oil at a loss so that their customers flocked to him instead, which would put these smaller companies out of business.
These kind of practices allowed the Standard Oil company to keep expanding across the entire country - they kept buying out rivals, undercutting competitors, and cutting costs wherever possible. By the 1870’s, Rockefeller's oil company owned 90% of the world's oil refining industry. He owned 20,000 oil wells, had over 100,000 employees, and at the vert peak, some estimate its total value would today have been worth almost a trillion dollars. But Rockefeller wasn't done yet.

The Most Illegal Business In The World: The Silk Road
HE INSANE STORY OF SILK ROAD - The illegal online marketplace on the darkweb, where you can buy ANYTHING imagine... Welcome to: "A Journey Into The Dark Web: The INSANE Story of Silk Road".
Beneath the normal internet we all know - like YouTube, Facebook, and Google - there lies the dark web - an anonymous unregulated world, with websites not accessible from search engines, a hidden corner of the internet where anything goes. For a while, the biggest site on the dark web was Silk Road, an online black market for all kinds of illegal goods and services. But what’s perhaps most surprising of all about this, is who was behind this illegal empire. Meet Ross Ulbricht, Silk Road's creator. Ross grew up in a loving family in Texas. He was a boy scout as a kid, studied physics at university, and was thought of as a very sweet guy by all his friends and family. So, imagine their shock, when they realized Ross was the criminal mastermind behind the largest online drug empire in history, responsible for over $1.2 billion dollars worth of sales of illegal goods and services. Not just that, but this sweet kid had reportedly paid hit men to kill his enemies.… Or, did he? To this day there is debate over whether Ross is guilty or not.
In this Silk Road documentary, we’re going to dive into the murky world of the dark web and explore the true story behind the infamous Silk Road marketplace. We’re also going to look at how the government really managed to track down Ross, despite the fact that Ross was using the Tor browser which made him completely anonymous. How do you find someone who can’t be tracked? This is a true story filled with mysteries, twists and even a couple of corrupt government agents. Welcome to the fascinating story of the Silk Road website on the dark web. (aka: The Story Of SILK ROAD: A Journey Into The Dark Web - How They Caught The Silk Road Kingpin by MagnatesMedia).

I am not a journalist and this video relies on secondary sources. Whilst every effort has been made to fact check those sources, this silk road video is classified as 'edutainment' and should not be considered a professional documentary. The history of Silk Road and the legal issues surrounding it are complex and nuanced, so I strongly encourage you to do your own research on the subject. (One of the most influential sources in creating this video was the book 'American Kingpin' by Nick Bilton, which I recommend checking out for further reading on the silk road story).

The Disturbing History Of Coco Cola
This video covers the INSANE story of Coca-Cola. This MagnatesMedia mini-movie documents the history of Coca-Cola, along with some of Coke's biggest scandals, controversies, and marketing successes.
This Coca-Cola documentary begins by looking at the early beginnings of Coca-Cola as a patent medicine in the 1800's, created by John Pemberton. We then examine Coca-Cola's marketing strategy, and how it pioneered many marketing tactics that are commonplace today. We then move on to how Coca-Cola profited from war, and how Coke managed to expand globally so rapidly (and create Fanta in the process).
Next, we look at some of the biggest accusations against Coca-Cola, such as the claims made by the stop killer coke campaign involving union leaders at Coke bottling plants. We also look at Coca-Cola's approach to the negative health effects of its drinks, including the disastrous launch of Dasani in the UK. And finally, we look at the ongoing battle between Coke and Pepsi, and how Coca-Cola created New Coke, that was simultaneously both a marketing disaster, and and one of the greatest business moves the company has made.

The Insane Reason That MySpace Lost Everything
Myspace was once the most visited website on the internet, even outranking Google. But in 2004 the myspace founders had a meeting with a young guy named Mark Zuckerberg who was offering to sell them his website, which was then called The Facebook. The price he wanted was $75 million dollars, but Myspace turned him down - and why wouldn’t they? At the time, Myspace was thriving, and was by far the most popular social media platform. So, how did Myspace go from being worth billions of dollars and one of the most loved sites on the internet, to being nothing but a nostalgic memory?
With its quirky interface and customizable profiles, MySpace represents the road untaken - the path social media could have gone before Facebook crushed the competition. But the reasons Myspace failed are not what you might think. And the rise and fall of Myspace is certainly not your typical business story. This video is the truth about what happened to MySpace - how an internet empire was both built and destroyed.
The domain name Myspace.com was initially bought for an internet storage business, essentially an early version of cloud hosting like Dropbox or google drive. But like many early internet businesses, this file storage company never made it, especially after the dot com bubble burst and investors stopped pouring money into internet companies. However a guy called Chris DeWolfe bought the MySpace domain, thinking it might be useful in the future. Of course he was right - but for a while, he did nothing with it. Instead, him and a friend called Tom Anderson founded a direct email marketing firm called ResponseBase, which created email newsletters for other companies. Little did they know that this business partnership would lead them to creating a billion dollar company with millions of users. Of course, the Myspace story would not end well - today Facebook makes billions from Facebook ads, whilst Myspace is just a site people nostalgically think back to. So what happened to Myspace? Welcome to the incredible story of Myspace - including why myspace died, how Facebook won, and where is Tom from myspace now?

How Jeff Bezos Ruined eBay
Its been reported that ebay’s founder created the site so that his wife, who was an avid collector of PEZ dispensers, could trade them with other people. Whilst that’s a heartwarming story, it’s just a total lie from eBay’s old marketing team. Let’s look at the real story of ebay…
In 1995, Pierre created a site called AuctionWeb - it had an extremely basic design, and was really just a side project for Pierre, but it was the first place online where anyone could list their items for sale to the rest of the world, and have people bid on them. Little died Pierre Omidyar realise, within a few years this site would make him a billionaire, and ignite the ecommerce battle. Welcome to the story of ebay by MagnatesMedia!

The Poor Boy Who Created Honda
How a Kid With $0 Created Honda - this is the story of Honda motors, and Honda’s founder Soichiro Honda. It’s an underdog entrepreneurial success story with both drama and business lessons. And it all starts in 1906 with the birth of Soichiro Honda, who would go on to found Honda’s business… As Honda grew up, he became very interested in tools and machines, and was especially keen on learning how vehicles worked after he saw his first car, a Ford Model T, when he was just a toddler. He chased after it, mesmerized by its design. Now, around this time bicycles were becoming very popular all over Japan, and customers began to line up in front of his father’s repair shop. Honda spent a lot of time watching his dad work, and then practicing repairs himself. Honda even learned how to make his own toys from whatever materials he saw lying around. Within a few years Honda was regularly helping his dad out in his repair shop. However, when it came to academic learning, Honda did terribly in school - he just wasn’t interested in what they were teaching, and longed to be back in his father’s workshop instead. In this business documentary on the story of Honda, we’ll look at how this poor Japanese boy built such a big company that now not only makes motorbikes and cars, but so much more - including Honda robots! Honda’s business success is truly fascinating. Welcome to the INSANE success story of Honda & the history of Honda!

The Unicorn Hunter: The Craziest Billionaire Ever
MASAYOSHI SON DOCUMENTARY:
Masa Son was once the richest man in the world... for 3 whole days - and then he lost about $70 billion dollars almost overnight, the biggest personal loss in history. He once managed to secure $45 billion worth of funding after a 45 minute meeting. He’s also responsible for the single greatest investment ever made.
But on the other hand, many feel he’s simply a crazy gambler who treats the economy like a casino, and that he’s causing catastrophic damage to the economy. This is a man who once threatened to set himself on fire if he didn’t get a business deal. A man who has invested billions of dollars in entrepreneurs purely based on gut instinct or the sparkle in their eyes.
And yet, I love him… You see, I’ve recently been making videos telling the stories of totally different businesses, like Uber, Yahoo, Tiktok - and yet Masa Son always seems to be connected. I feel like I’m in that movie where Jim Carey starts seeing the number 23 everywhere, but for me, all roads lead to the investor Masa Son.
The majority of the world know extremely little about this man. But they should. He is quite literally changing the economy/world, and betting on our future. And his story is one of the most fascinating I’ve ever heard. It’s inspiring. It’s terrifying. And most of all, it’s absolutely INSANE...
Welcome to the story of Masayoshi Son (The Masa Son Documentary). Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor or just someone who enjoys crazy business & finance stories / making money, you're going to love Masayoshi Son's biography. We explore some of his investments, businesses, and investing philosophy.
