One of the greatest industrialists of the 20th century, Howard Hughes was a man who built his own fame and fortune on the shoulders of his father's company. Yet while his father had been in the oil drilling business, Howard Hughes Jr had ambitions in much sexier industries - Hollywood movies, aviation, real estate, mining, casinos, and even a Houston based brewery called "Gulf Brewing Company" to capitalize on the end of prohibition.
But despite his fame, Howard Hughes was not the business genius that many thought he was. His projects often lost money, missed deadlines or just never happened. He also struggled with mental and physical ailments that drove him to a life of secrecy and seclusion later in life. He was a truly fascinating character and we go deep into his life and legacy in this episode.
