We know about the big names of the early 20th century, such as Carnegie and Rockefeller, who helped shape industry in America to what it is today. But while they were making it big, another young man named Howard Hughes was making his name in multiple different industries as well. At one point making himself the richest man in the world, he influenced Hollywood as well as air travel. But just as he did well in life, he eventually sunk into madness and ended his life in solitude. Either way, the 20th century wouldn't have been the same without Howard. Jacob and Evan take us from start to finish on his life to get a grasp on how he went from wealth to worn out very quickly.
