About this episode
Drop in for a special birthday tribute to Galileo Galilei, history's most famous corporate disruptor. Learn how a routine career change from medicine to physics led to humanity's first cosmic restructuring, and why suggesting the Earth wasn't the center of the universe is like telling Medieval Inc. their entire organizational chart needs revision.

From improving the telescope's efficiency metrics by 20x to conducting history's first data-driven performance reviews (by dropping things off towers), discover how Galileo revolutionized not just science, but the very way we prove our hypotheses. Find out why his clash with the Church was less about heliocentrism and more about the ultimate battle between experimental evidence and reading the ancient employee handbook.
Join us for a quantum-superposed celebration of the man who dared to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we should actually test our theories instead of just arguing about them. Warning: Understanding this episode may cause spontaneous skepticism of authority and an uncontrollable urge to measure things.
