About this episode

The episode discusses the economic implications of the Lipstick Effect, Tesla's self-driving capabilities, and the ROI of business trips, along with trends in adult pregaming.

Lipstick is economic soup for the stressed soul… And L’Oreal is the Lipstick Effect in real life. Elon dropped a truth bomb: 4M Teslas can’t drive themselves… Up next? Operation Body Shop. Should you ask your boss approve that business trip?... We ran the ROI on Biz Trips. Plus, adults are pregaming like it’s college again… Because in this economy, 5 DIY Negronis = 1 Bar Negroni. $LRLCY $TSLA $SPY NEWSLETTER: https://tboypod.com/newsletter   OUR 2ND SHOW: Want more business storytelling from us?
