The Rolling Stones are one of the most successful rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time. Their worldwide reach and legendary status didn’t happen by accident, but was the result of careful planning, hard work and sound business decisions throughout the band’s life — as well as talent.
A new, four-part documentary, “My Life as a Rolling Stone,” by the television network Epix hits on the band’s well-chronicled highs and lows. Yet during the interviews there are numerous illuminating business and economic lessons. Entrepreneurship and good management lie at the heart of an enterprise that’s still going strong in its seventh decade.
Watching through that lens is Marketplace senior economics contributor and resident Rolling Stones superfan Chris Farrell, who spoke to “Marketplace Morning Report” host David Brancaccio about the lessons we can take away from the Stones’ success.
