📚🏖️ “Our Vacay Reading List” — Creativity Inc (Pixar). Bitter Brew (Budweiser). The Bezos Blueprint (Amazon).
We’re dropping something vacation-themed: The Best Books Yet. Here are 3 of our favorite pop-biz books we’re bringing to the beach — they contain incredible stories with insights we’ve weaved into Takeaways before. These are our 3 Beach Biz Reads: Jack’s pick: “Creativity Inc.” — The founding of Pixar, the animation studio behind Toy Story. Creativity can be a one-off hit. But creativity at scale is what Pixar built. Nick’s pick: “Bitter Brew: The Rise & Fall of Anheuser-Busch” — The history, strategies, and family drama behind Budweiser, decades before the latest issues. It’s Succession, but real life. And it ended horribly. The 3rd book is one we’re about to read: “The Bezos Blueprint” — Communications Secrets from the greatest Salesman.Subscribe to our newsletter: tboypod.com/newsletter Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?

🍦 “King of Cone” — Joy’s ice cream cone monopoly. Skechers’ soccer deal. Tipping’s tipping point.
It’s our last pod until Tuesday, September 5th as we take our annual vacation… but we whipped up 3 fantastic stories for ya: There are 17K ice cream parlors in the US, but 1 cone company dominates the market — Joy Cones proves that in some markets, boring is better. Skechers just signed England’s #1 soccer player to a lifetime deal to wear Skechers cleats — But its goal isn’t to be #1, it’s to be #3. And Tipping has reached a tipping point and we found the culprit: Toast — Toast’s payments tablets have turned “Tip Creep” into “Tip Fatigue” and now a “Tip Turnaround.” Subscribe to the TBOY Newsletter at tboypod.com/newsletter.

📉 “Another Big Short” — Michael Burry’s Voldemort bet. TJ Maxx’s all-time high. Fogo de Chao’s group dinner.
Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao just sold for $1B – We found out how it makes twice as much money per restaurant as The Olive Garden. TJ Maxx stock just hit an all-time high and is now worth $100B — Because TJ’s hand-me-down strategy is paying off. And back in 2008, legendary investor Michael Burry (from “The Big Short”) made a billion-dollar bet against the housing market, and he was right — He just made another, even bigger, Big Short. $DRI $TJX $TGT $SPY Subscribe to our newsletter: tboypod.com/newsletter Want merch, a shoutout, or got TheBestFactYet?
