With great swings, come great wins and great losses. Few companies know that better than SoftBank, the Japanese holding company made famous for its investments in Alibaba, Arm Holdings, WeWork, and other tech names that have dominated headlines from the past decade-plus. 

Alok Sama is the former President and CFO of SoftBank and the author of the new book “The Money Trap: Lost Illusions Inside the Tech Bubble.” Ricky Mulvey caught up with Sama to discuss:

• OpenAI’s latest fundraising round.
• “Happiness for everyone” as an investment philosophy.
• The illusion – and reality – of power.

Investors get their first glimpse at Tesla’s robotaxi ambitions and how regulators might be looking to break up search giant Google. 

(00:42) Jason Moser and Andy Cross discuss:

- Why Jamie Dimon is trying to get investors past the rate story in banking.

- Tesla’s splashy We, Robot product event, and how the company’s new Cybercab offering might fit into the company’s long-term strategy. 

- Earnings updates from Delta, Pepsi, and Domino’s.

(19:03) The DOJ’s taking a much closer look at Alphabet’s Google and its online search empire. Andy and Jason talk through what a Google break-up would mean, and why it’s a bit weird to be talking about Google the monopoly as its power seems to be waning.

The Happy Meal is the most successful meal in human history. With over 35 billion units sold, or about four for every person on Earth, McDonald’s iconic “Food and Fun in a Box” has also made the company a bigger toy distributor than Hasbro or Mattel (and maybe even Santa). But few know the Happy Meal’s contested origin story. Was the creator a mom of five in Guatemala, an ad man from Kansas City, or a forgotten franchise called “Burger Chef”? Spoiler, it wasn’t Grimace. Hear how McDonald’s perfected a strategy called the “window of loyalty,” and visit a little place called “Hamburger University.” Listen to find out why The Happy Meal is the best idea yet!

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.
