Episode synopsis

Rick and Mike dive into Axon's most chaotic chapter yet—the post-IPO rocket ride that nearly blew the company up. Picture Lamborghinis, soaring stock prices and then... CRASH. A failed TASER test with Marine legend Hans Marrero sparked a last-minute overhaul of the X26 just six weeks before launch. Then a bold pricing move hit the market, doubling revenue and unknowingly funding Axon’s survival. From near collapse to becoming the fastest-growing stock on Wall Street, this is the real origin story of the X26—and the grit that built a juggernaut.
