The Best One Yet22 Apr 2024

đŸ‘©â€đŸŽ€ “BTS plays Wall Street” — K-Pop’s stock pop. Amazon’s secret spy biz. Instagram’s new AI buddy.

Amazon’s newest business is actually a secret spy business — And Amazon used it to infiltrate Walmart and other competitors.

Korea’s K-Pop bands don’t just play songs, they play stocks — The Big 4 Korean music groups are publicly-traded on Wall Street because K-Pop’s biz is popping.

Meta just put an AI Chatbot into the searchbar of all their apps, including Instagram — Mark Zuckerberg’s advantage in the AI battle? Free & Frictionless.

Plus, Americans toss out $68M of pennies, nickels, and dimes every year
 but one company is scooping them up.


5 days until our NYC Live Show! Yetis, we can’t wait to see you in the city that never sleeps.
