“Disney World Hasn’t Felt This Empty in Years” — That’s the headline right now for Disney, because Americans are getting their passports stamped. Kura Sushi is the Japanese-American stock sensation of 2023 — Because the #1 craving of investors this year is restaurant stocks. And the She-cession is officially over — After a Pandemic drop, the percentage of the women in the American workforce just hit an all-time high.

YouTubers Logan Paul and KSI launched an energy drink that’s now the target of Congress — because minor customers can lead to major problems. Amazon Prime Day starts today, but it’s not just Amazon — all of retail is celebrating the made-up holiday because we’re all craving tiny treats. And Zuck just announced that Threads is the fastest-ever app to hit 100M downloads — but Threads’ greatest weakness is Twitter’s greatest strength.

Las Vegas just unveiled the largest sphere on earth — “Sphere” is actually a publicly-traded stock too, and it previews the future of live entertainment. China just weaponized geology (because the US weaponized chips) — Because nobody wins in a trade war. And Rivian’s stock has surged 80% in just two weeks — Because Rivian isn’t just selling to people, it’s selling to Amazon.

Mattel’s Barbie movie just put on a master class in marketing — It’s not an ad campaign, it’s an “ad champagne” Today’s Jobs Report is expected to be huge — but it’s also expected to be the most confusing, so we’re jumping into it TBOY-style.

And the “Model A” flying car just got FAA approval for a test flight — but just like the spork, the best of both worlds can actually be worse.

We just witnessed a “Stage 5 Zucking” — Instagram has officially copied Twitter with a new app that launches today called “Threads”.

Crickets are now human food *and* dog food, because insect-based food found product-market-fit.

And Costco is cracking down membership card moochers — Because when companies can’t raise prices, they get strict.

We recorded an interview in a restaurant, none other than Sweetgreen. We interviewed Nathaniel Ru, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of the billion dollar salad chain. Nathaniel tells us about:  Launching a $10/bowl restaurant during a recession  How he used a boombox to drive business  Long-term relationships with local farmers like Firefly Farms (~15 yrs strong)  The new robotic restaurant in a suburb of Chicago  Best of all— his must-try salad “remix” order ‌On a personal note, these salads were a staple of ours when we worked on Wall Street. We’d chow down on spicy broccoli and arugula, while whipping up takeaways in our early newsletter days. So it was pretty cool when we got to toss our pesto chicken parm bowls mid-interview.

The Bud Light Boycott just resulted in a new #1 US beer: Modelo Especial — This Mexican beer’s boom was drank by Millennials. 

Mercedes Benz just activated 900K of its cars with a voice AI copilot — So we think it’s the birth of the companionship economy. 

And Disney’s newest Pixar movie, Elemental, just flopped at the box office — But we think Pixar can get out of its slump thanks to its “Brain Trust.”
