The role of corporate investment is discussed in the first podcast episode, which examines how an activist hedge fund manager, as the largest investor in CPKC, has pushed the railway company to explore hydrogen-powered trains as a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional diesel locomotives.

The second podcast episode also touches on the transition from mob control to increasing corporate ownership of Las Vegas casinos starting in the 1960s, which transformed the city's gambling industry into a glamorous casino-resort destination.

These examples illustrate how corporate investment can drive innovation, sustainability, and change within different industries.
