Power, Mistakes, and Consequences is a history and leadership podcast about what happens when authority goes unchecked and decisions can’t be undone.

Each episode explores real moments from history where power, poor judgment, and critical mistakes collided. These are stories of leaders who made the wrong call, ignored warnings, trusted bad advice, or doubled down when reality demanded restraint—and the consequences that followed.

From political and military disasters to corporate collapses and cultural turning points, the show examines leadership failures, decision-making under pressure, power dynamics, and the human cost of authority used poorly. The focus isn’t on hindsight blame, but on understanding how mistakes form, why they persist, and how power shields them until it’s too late.

This isn’t a podcast about inspirational leadership or success stories. It’s a narrative-driven exploration of leadership mistakes from history, organizational failure, accountability, and the uncomfortable truth that consequences are often obvious—just delayed.

If you’re interested in leadership history, power and leadership, decision-making, management failures, and the real-world impact of bad choices, this podcast is for you.

Power, Mistakes, and Consequences Because power doesn’t eliminate mistakes. It multiplies their impact.
