• How the "biggest marketing disaster in history" actually proved the brand's true worth and boosted sales
• Why Coca-Cola's 29% operating margin crushes competitors stuck at 13%—and the simple strategy behind it

Forget everything you think you know about building brands. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why smart money follows the Coca-Cola playbook, and you'll never look at a red can the same way again.
