🍪 “Utah’s Cookie King” — Crumbl’s cookie recipe. Lululemon’s fanny packs. Microsoft’s bigness lawsuit.
December 12, 2022 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MBUtah is America’s biggest sweettooth, which is one reason it’s home to Crumbl — the fastest-growing restaurant chain in the country. Lululemon trails only Nike in apparel, because investors want to play with Profit Puppies, not run with Revenue Rabbits. And Microsoft spent $69B to play a video game, but was just told to go to its room. $LULU $MSFT Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

🦢 “Ugliest product ever” — Dyson’s cancellation headset. Campbell’s Madden strategy. Amazon’s TikTok zucking.
December 09, 2022 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.2 MBAmazon’s newest product is a TikTok-style video shopping feed, but it’s not to compete with TikTok - it’s to compete with itself. Campbell Soup stock is up 30% this year thanks to Chunky Soup’s Madden strategy. And Dyson just revealed an air-filtering headset with noise cancellation, but it violates the fundamental rule of product design: You can make an ugly product, but you can’t make the person ugly. $CPB $AMZN $AAPL Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tbo...

🤖 “A robot wrote today’s episode” — OpenAI’s chatbot brain. Hot Pockets’ smeals. Slack’s rich vs. king.
December 07, 2022 10:00 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MBChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence chatbot that you can ask any question and it will give a human answer… so we asked it to write today’s TBOY episode. The hottest-growing food right now is “smeals” (snackable meals) — Smeals are a case study in “Category Design.” And Salesforce just lost another key executive (the founder of Slack) because CEO Marc Benioff can be rich or king (but you can never be both). $SJM $CRM Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @t...
