🏀 "The $500M High School Jock" — Overtime Sports's teenager league. Sweetgreen's missing salad. Inflation's celebrity report.

What if we told you that venture capitalists and NBA players and Venture Capitalists just poured $100M into a sports league purely for high school kids? (They did). Sweetgreen just revealed that it’s so focused on making scalable salads that it forgot to do 1 thing: Make something else. And for the first time in years, prices actually went down - Because Inflation is a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. $SG $XOM $CVX Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

And the maker of Grand Theft Auto just revealed that video games miss you — In fact, the entire video game industry has taken 2 steps forward, 1 step back. $LYFT $TTWO $MSFT Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

🧊 “Iced Hot Girl Walk” — Starbucks’ latte flywheel. Ford’s Jeep-killer. TikTok’s musical frenemy.

Starbucks served up record sales thanks to 16-year-olds ordering insanely complex cold drinks. TikTok noticed a funny thing you do when you’re on TikTok, so it just trademarked the term “TikTok Music” (heads-up, Spotify). And Ford just revealed that 70% of the buyers of the new Bronco weren’t Ford customers before… we think Bronco is the Jeep-killer. $SBUX $SPOT $F $STLA Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?
