from HorseShoes HandGrenades · host HorseShoe Handgrenade

Uncover the dark legacy of McKinsey & Company in this explosive exposé! From its Chicago origins in 1926 to its global dominance, McKinsey has shaped corporations, governments, and crises with chilling precision. But at what cost?

Discover how McKinsey’s elitist culture, unethical practices, and alumni network—including Sundar Pichai and Sheryl Sandberg—wield unchecked power, prioritizing profit over ethics. Explore scandals, greenwashing, and conflicts of interest that expose McKinsey’s moral decay, from Big Tobacco to ICE’s detainee cuts. Is McKinsey a mastermind of global influence or a villain of corporate greed? Watch now to unravel the secrets, deceptions, and devastation behind the world’s most powerful consultancy.
