About this episode

The episode discusses Amazon's acquisition of Globalstar, the valuation of PopUp Bagels, the profitability of the IRS, and Zuck's AI clone offering fashion advice.

Amazon acquired Globalstar to take on SpaceX… because Starlink’s margin is Amazon’s opportunity. PopUp Bagels just hit a $300M valuation… because breakfast is eating tummy share. Happy Tax Day… But did you know the IRS is our most profitable agency? Plus, Zuck is cloning himself… Because AI Zuck wants to give you unsolicited fashion advice. $META $SPY $ Artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as both an individual and a member of a group  Eric Clapton (Yardbirds, Cream) John Lennon (The Beatles) Paul McCartney (The Beatles) George Harrison (The Beatles) Ringo Starr (The Beatles) Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) Tina Turner (Ike & Tina Turner) Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) Rod Stewart (The Faces) Neil Young (Buffalo Springfield) Stephen Stills (Buffalo Springfield) Clyde McPhatter (The Drifters) Jeff Beck (The Yardbirds) Peter Gabriel (Genesis) Curtis Mayfield (The Impressions) Peter Tosh (The Wailers) Phil Collins (Genesis) NEWSLETTER: https://tboypod.com/newsletter   OUR 2ND SHOW: Want more business storytelling from us?
