How Blockbuster Ignored the Pivot

Blockbuster’s collapse wasn’t just about being late to streaming; it was a masterclass in how incumbents misread their own moats. In this episode, we dissect the specific financial decisions that kept Blockbuster tethered to its brick-and-mortar model long after Netflix had shifted the market center of gravity. We look at the $50 million fine and the strategic blindness that allowed Reed Hastings to outmaneuver John Antioco. Today is October 12, 2026, and we’re looking back at the structural failures that defined an era of disruption. #Blockbuster #Netflix #BusinessPivot #Disruption #StreamingWars #ReedHastings #JohnAntioco #StrategyFailure #MoatErosion #MarketShift #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CorporateStrategy #RetailHistory #TechDisruption #LeadershipLessons #BusinessAnalysis #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
