The Best One Yet - 🥇 “Gollllllld” — Costco’s gold bars. Microsoft’s nuclear reactor. Levi’s over-firing strategy.

Ask Nick & Jack (almost) anything with this form.  

The newest and fastest-selling product at Costco? 1 oz gold bars — Because gold is the financial emergency survival kit for money.

Microsoft is hiring for a surprising new role — Microsoft needs someone to build its own nuclear power plant. 

And Levi’s outgoing CEO has one major regret: He wishes he’d fired *more* people — Because you should “fire fast and hire slow.”
