NASA and Apple engineer turned YouTube sensation Mark Rober shares his joy for inventing–and how he’s cashing in on the broad appeal of his glitter bomb packages, squirrel obstacle courses, engineering projects, and kids excited to learn while they play. Media analyst Paul Dergarabedian considers the box office’s bumpy ride in 2023. Between Hollywood strikes and shifting viewer tastes, Dergarabedian says that streaming has an edge. For streamers on Amazon Prime, though, ads are coming! And in the oil patch, a mild winter and conflict concerns in the Middle East have contributed to fluctuating energy prices. CNBC’s Pippa Stevens discusses the rise of “virtual power plants” to meet electricity demand.
