Can You Beat Rockefeller?: EP 87 - Robert Greene's The Laws of Human Nature

In Episode 87, we explore the fierce rivalry between John D. Rockefeller and Byron Benson, as Benson sought to challenge Rockefeller's dominance in the oil industry with an ambitious plan to build a long-distance pipeline. Benson's Tidewater Pipeline was seen as a potential game-changer, but Rockefeller fought back with cunning tactics-buying land, influencing laws, and controlling critical resources. Despite Benson's efforts, Rockefeller outmaneuvered him at every turn, ultimately taking control of the pipeline. This story reveals the ruthless strategies Rockefeller used to maintain his empire and the lessons it offers in business warfare.
