Corporate Carnage is the business scandal and corporate true crime podcast that investigates what happens when ambition, power, and profit spiral out of control. Each episode explores the decisions, deceptions, and leadership failures behind some of the world’s most notorious corporate collapses.

From Enron and WeWork to financial fraud, executive misconduct, failed startups, and major Philippine business scandals, Corporate Carnage examines how promising companies become cautionary tales. Discover the warning signs that were ignored, the people affected, and the consequences that followed when businesses crossed the line.

Part business education and part true crime, the podcast transforms complex corporate cases into compelling, accessible stories. Whether you are an entrepreneur, business professional, investor, student, or simply fascinated by corporate corruption, Corporate Carnage reveals valuable lessons hidden inside spectacular failures.

Because behind every fallen empire is a chain of decisions—and someone who believed the consequences would never arrive.

Corporate Carnage is a HustleStudios Podcast Network production.
