The Best One Yet - 🍯 “A Dude made the 1st move?” — Bumble’s big pivot. Walmart’s Kirkland-killer. Detroit’s Boom Loop.

Bumble is ending its biggest differentiator now that guys can make the 1st move — But Bumble followed the scientific method of launching.

Walmart just launched its own version of Costco’s Kirkland brand — “Bettergoods” is Walmart’s 1st new brand in 20 years and it’s all about the DINK.

And Detroit was stuck in a brutal 70 year Doom Loop, but it’s reversed into a Boom Loop – We tell the story of Detroit’s bankruptcy bounceback.

Plus, Walgreens invented a peelable gummy candy that’s so viral, they’re limiting 1 per customer — Because viral products don’t drive sales, they drive conversations.

We won the Webby Award for “Best Business Podcast”! And we can’t thank you enough. 🎊

Tractor Supply, the publicly-traded farm store, sells live chickens and is enjoying a record high stock price — And it’s winning because Millennials are migrating from the city to the country (still).

Google and Microsoft are $2 trillion and $3 trillion companies because they’re winning in Artificial Intelligence — For every other company, AI is corporate Ozempic.

And Whirlpool is pivoting from washing machines to coffee and espresso machines — Because all the major macro trends are turning you into a Bougie Barista.
