The Best One Yet - 🪿 “$900 for pre-dirtied shoes” — Golden Goose’s sneaker IPO. Summer Movies’ 4D theater trend. Elon’s biggest fundraise ever.

Would you pay $900 for a pair of new sneakers that were already dirty? Golden Goose is selling that, branding it “pre-distressed” — And they’re about to IPO at a $3B valuation.

Hollywood had its worst summer opening weekend at the box office since 1995 — But the “theater of the summer” is gonna be big: 4D movie theaters that you can smell, taste, and even feel.

And Elon Musk just raised $6B for his startup, X.ai, to build the “Gigafactory of Compute” — He flexed his biggest competitive advantage: Fundraising.

Plus, Google’s AI just told people to put “glue” on their pizza — Because when it comes to Artificial Intelligence, AI is what it eats… and Google’s AI is consuming strange content.

The Best One Yet - 🍂 “Leaf Blower Problems”— Electric Leaf Blowers’ broken biz model. TicketMaster’s European T-Swift breakup. Work-From-Home’s shopping surge.

The Department of Justice just sued to break up Live Nation from Ticketmaster — But there’s a solution to the $10,000 Taylor Swift concert ticket, and we found it in Paris, France.

Summer has unofficially begun, which means a leaf blower is about to interrupt your lovely afternoon — But the electric leaf blower’s boom has a big business model problem.

And because of Work-From-Home, we’re spending $375B more shopping online midday: It’s nationwide Retail Therapy - And the most popular hour everyone shops is… 11am Friday.

Plus, with inflation so high, dupes aren’t just popular with denim, they’re popular with travel —So we want to hear your “Destination Dupes” (because Liverpool is basically lower-priced London).
