The company filed for bankruptcy twice, leading to the closure of hundreds of locations, and today, only a few scattered restaurants and ghost kitchens remain.In this episode, we’ll explore how bad decisions destroyed a beloved restaurant empire, why pies alone can’t save a business, and what lessons we can learn from its rise and fall.👉 Tune in to learn about the unexpected twists that led to the end of one of America’s iconic pie chains and the lessons other brands can learn from its demise.▶ JOIN the Expedition Money Community for FREE!Use the code below at the following link ($1,200 value): https://expedition.money/subscription...Free Access Code: FREEXMYEAR▶ Get a copy of my book, AMAZING MONEY STORIES here! https://geni.us/R7efGET INSIDER COLLEGE PLANNING INFORMATION:▶ Mastering FAFSA Strategies to Maximize Your Financial Aid Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/collegef...----------GET MY BOOKS!▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money Book: https://geni.us/O1tcs▶ Amazing Money Stories Book: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Just The Essential Disney Hacks Book: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ Living The Dream: 5 Strategies That Changed My Life Book: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Discovering Travel Bliss: Insider Secrets for Transforming Ordinary Trips into Joyful Journeys Book: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: Fascinating Money Facts, History, Stories & Trivia Book: https://geni.us/LckBTAX----------DISCOVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE:▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/N79P5UC----------FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ X:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney  

The FAA air traffic controller shortage didn’t happen overnight — and it may trace back to a controversial hiring overhaul in 2014. In this episode, we break down how the FAA dismantled its proven air traffic controller training pipeline, replaced skills-based testing with a biographical questionnaire, and sidelined thousands of highly qualified candidates — all in the name of diversity reform.We explore the collapse of the Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program, the rise of off-the-street hiring, the resulting staffing shortages, mandatory overtime, rising near misses, and how these decisions are now at the center of a major class action lawsuit against the FAA. With U.S. airspace increasingly strained and facilities dangerously understaffed, this story raises serious questions about aviation safety, government hiring policy, and unintended consequences.If you care about air travel safety, FAA policy, DEI hiring practices, or how government decisions ripple for decades, this is a story you need to hear.▶ JOIN the Expedition Money Community for FREE!Use the code below at the following link ($1,200 value): https://expedition.money/subscription...Free Access Code: FREEXMYEAR▶ Get a copy of my book, AMAZING MONEY STORIES here! https://geni.us/R7efGET INSIDER COLLEGE PLANNING INFORMATION:▶ Mastering FAFSA Strategies to Maximize Your Financial Aid Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/collegef...----------GET MY BOOKS!▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money Book: https://geni.us/O1tcs▶ Amazing Money Stories Book: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Just The Essential Disney Hacks Book: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ Living The Dream: 5 Strategies That Changed My Life Book: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Discovering Travel Bliss: Insider Secrets for Transforming Ordinary Trips into Joyful Journeys Book: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: Fascinating Money Facts, History, Stories & Trivia Book: https://geni.us/LckBTAX----------DISCOVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE:▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/N79P5UC----------FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ X:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney

Did GM really put an Allison transmission in the 2020–2025 Chevy Silverado 2500HD/3500HD and GMC Sierra HD—or did they just rent the name? In this episode, we unpack the controversy around the Allison-branded 10-speed (10L1000): why longtime truck buyers believed they were getting bulletproof Duramax-era reliability, and why so many owners now report harsh shifting, limp mode, valve body failures, and months-long parts backorders.We break down how brand licensing works in the auto industry, what the “Allison” badge actually signals (and what it doesn’t), and why this saga has become a case study in marketing vs. mechanical reality. Plus: how the situation escalated into a full-on reputation problem—so big that GM and Allison are reportedly ending the partnership and even removing Allison badging from unsold trucks after the agreement expires.If you tow, haul, run a small business, or you’re shopping used HD trucks, this is the episode you need before you sign anything.▶ JOIN the Expedition Money Community for FREE!Use the code below at the following link ($1,200 value): https://expedition.money/subscription...Free Access Code: FREEXMYEAR▶ Get a copy of my book, AMAZING MONEY STORIES here! https://geni.us/R7efGET INSIDER COLLEGE PLANNING INFORMATION:▶ Mastering FAFSA Strategies to Maximize Your Financial Aid Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/collegef...----------GET MY BOOKS!▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money Book: https://geni.us/O1tcs▶ Amazing Money Stories Book: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Just The Essential Disney Hacks Book: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ Living The Dream: 5 Strategies That Changed My Life Book: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Discovering Travel Bliss: Insider Secrets for Transforming Ordinary Trips into Joyful Journeys Book: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: Fascinating Money Facts, History, Stories & Trivia Book: https://geni.us/LckBTAX----------DISCOVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE:▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/N79P5UC----------FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ X:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney

Think the problem with the Chicago Bears is just bad quarterback play? Think again. Since their last Super Bowl in 1985, the Bears have started 45 different quarterbacks — yet not one has thrown for 4,000 yards or 30 touchdowns in a season. In this episode, we unpack the brutal stats, the draft mistakes, the endless coaching changes, and the organizational dysfunction that’s haunted this franchise for decades. We ask the hard question: is the problem the QBs… or is the problem Chicago itself? If you're a Bears fan, a football lover, or just curious about what happens when a storied franchise goes off the rails — this is your must‑listen.▶ JOIN the Expedition Money Community for FREE!Use the code below at the following link ($1,200 value): https://expedition.money/subscription...Free Access Code: FREEXMYEAR▶ Get a copy of my book, AMAZING MONEY STORIES here! https://geni.us/R7efGET INSIDER COLLEGE PLANNING INFORMATION:▶ Mastering FAFSA Strategies to Maximize Your Financial Aid Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/collegef...----------GET MY BOOKS!▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money Book: https://geni.us/O1tcs▶ Amazing Money Stories Book: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Just The Essential Disney Hacks Book: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ Living The Dream: 5 Strategies That Changed My Life Book: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Discovering Travel Bliss: Insider Secrets for Transforming Ordinary Trips into Joyful Journeys Book: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: Fascinating Money Facts, History, Stories & Trivia Book: https://geni.us/LckBTAX----------DISCOVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE:▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/N79P5UC----------FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ X:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney  

For decades, we’ve dropped pennies into cup holders, jars, and junk drawers — coins too small to matter. But as of late 2025, that’s officially changing: the United States Mint has struck its final batch of pennies, ending over 230 years of production. In this episode, we dig into the simple economics behind the decision (each penny now costs nearly four times its face value to make), the growing irrelevance of cash coins in a digital‑first economy, and what everyday life will look like when pennies fade into history. Join us as we explore how rounding rules, disappearing pennies, and a shift toward card payments are quietly redefining what “exact change” really means — and why your dusty jar of pennies might soon be worthless.▶ JOIN the Expedition Money Community for FREE!Use the code below at the following link ($1,200 value): https://expedition.money/subscription...Free Access Code: FREEXMYEAR▶ Get a copy of my book, AMAZING MONEY STORIES here! https://geni.us/R7efGET INSIDER COLLEGE PLANNING INFORMATION:▶ Mastering FAFSA Strategies to Maximize Your Financial Aid Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/collegef...----------GET MY BOOKS!▶ How I Make A Six-Figure Income On YouTube Book: https://geni.us/UZ2bnyd▶ How To Get Out Of Debt Fast Book: https://geni.us/HeWdQi1▶ Rethink Money Book: https://geni.us/O1tcs▶ Amazing Money Stories Book: https://geni.us/R7ef▶ Just The Essential Disney Hacks Book: https://geni.us/cYZO3T0▶ Living The Dream: 5 Strategies That Changed My Life Book: https://geni.us/dxPr▶ Discovering Travel Bliss: Insider Secrets for Transforming Ordinary Trips into Joyful Journeys Book: https://geni.us/QzzEgjo▶ Money Is Factscinating: Fascinating Money Facts, History, Stories & Trivia Book: https://geni.us/LckBTAX----------DISCOVER FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE:▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/N79P5UC----------FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA:▶ Instagram:   / expedition.money  ▶ Facebook:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ X:   / expeditionmoney  ▶ LinkedIn:   / expeditionmoney  ----------
