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 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.
