This is Matt Reustle. We're coming up on 200 episodes of Business Breakdowns, and one of the best things about hosting this show is that while each episode brings something completely different, you start to see the connective tissue that ties businesses together.

We're often asked, "What's your favorite episode?" I certainly have favorites, but there are ideas that emerge from episodes that really stand out to me. In this episode, you'll hear several audio clips from past Breakdowns that we think stand out, and we'll share some of the context around them, why we think they're interesting, and bring the ideas to life. Please enjoy this mash-up of Business Breakdowns.
