About this episode

This episode discusses the gradual disappearance of profit margins in businesses and the underlying mathematical principles that contribute to this issue.

Margins don't usually vanish in a dramatic moment. There's no alert. No warning siren. No email that says congratulations, you're now running a very busy hobby. You just wake up one day tired, stressed, and wondering how a business that's "doing sales" somehow isn't doing money. That's not bad luck. That's math you were never shown.
