🪙 “”Stablecoins” — Interview with Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire (Philosopher of the Coin)

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Jeremy Allaire is the founder and CEO of Circle, the company behind USDC -- the world's largest regulated stablecoin with over $73 billion in circulation. Circle IPO'd last year, surged on day one, and now processes 8x more transactions than Visa. But Jeremy deliberately chose the boringest corner of crypto -- and in this interview, he explains exactly why boring is winning.

Jeremy breaks down what a stablecoin actually is, why the US banking system still runs on technology from the 1970s, and what the Federal Reserve told him when he asked how the dollar actually works. Plus: who loses when Stripe and Shopify start accepting USDC at a fraction of credit card fees, AI agents that pay each other in crypto, and why Jeremy reads Camus instead of business books.

We don’t know who Bitcoin-inventor Satoshi Nakamoto is… but we do Jeremy Allaire. And this guy knows more than anyone about the coolest part of crypto: The Stablecoin. Because Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Circle, the company behind USDC — the world's largest regulated stablecoin with over $73Bin circulation. And he’s a Philosopher at heart.

🔥 “LIVE with Kara Swisher from DC” — Silicon Valley is Kindergarten for Billionaires (Uncensored)

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The most famous tech journalist, Kara Swisher, joined us on-stage at our LIVE show in Arlington as part of the IPO Tour (our “In-Person Offering”). And Kara brings fire…

In this LIVE interview, Kara (aka the Sultaness of Scoops) riffs on…

How she was going to join the CIA, but instead ended up at the Washington Post
Why Silicon Valley is Kindergarten for Billionaires
The time she ripped on Zuck for his jogging routine in China
The biz of being a solo journalist
What every 26-year-old should be doing now to AI slop-proof their careers
How her “Burn Book” of Tech Elites is becoming a TV show
How Congress should regulate the tech industry (for the 1st time ever)
And she throws bunch of shade at the current administration, Big Tech CEOs, other podcasters, and more
And her ticker symbol? Spoiler: $WTF

Plus, she turns the interview around to grill us (classic Kara).

Quick FYI: This episode was recorded live, and Kara drops a bunch of politics and profanity, something we don’t do on our show — So if you’ve got kids in the car right now, save this one for after drop-off.

🤠 “LIVE with Poppi Co-founders Allison & Stephen Ellsworth — Pepsi’s $2B Power Couple

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Husband and wife Allison and Stephen Ellsworth have 3 kids and 3 Super Bowl commercials - Because together they created Poppi, the better-for-you soda disruptor that PepsiCo bought for $1.95 Billion last year.

Their biggest fight? The day they sold the company.
They’ve got a spreadsheets/bedsheets policy you don’t want to miss.
Work/Life Balance? That’s the wrong question for entrepreneurs.
Plus, Stephen plays the Newlywed game, TBOY-style.

In this live interview from State Theater in Austin, we discuss the Ellsworth’s full-circle moment: They got a deal on shark tank, grew Poppi’s stock 100,000%, then came back to Shark Tank… as Sharks.

In this interview, you’ll hear how Allison and Stephen design a business based on vibes, why the marketing metrics don’t matter, how distribution is destiny… and why you celebrate the wins in Italy.

It’s one part TBOY hangout, one part couples counseling, and we had so much fun on-stage with them, Jack even stole their drinks.

💄 “Makeup King” — Elf Beauty CEO Tarang Amin’s Interview with TBOY

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The CEO of e.l.f. Beauty says charging $38 for lip oil is "immoral."

In this fun exclusive interview, e.l.f.’s CEO Tarang Amin explains why he thinks big profit margins are unethical and how his biz creates "dupes" better than the lux originals… for a fraction of the price.

So we glammed up with Tarang to break down the economics of the $3 lipstick, how e.l.f. legally copies rivals like Dior, and why he shares the company's "nuclear codes" with every employee.

Of course we got all the details on his acquisition of Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin for $1B, the fastest-growing beauty brand in America (spoiler: It all went down over a dinner in LA).

And there’s even an investment angle: Wall Street fell in love with $ELF stock as it rose 800% in just a few years. While tariff fears recently cooled the price, Tarang explains what investors are missing in the mirror… And why that epic Hailey Bieber’s Rhode deal was a true makeover.

(Plus, Tarang helped Jack add another cream to his 42-step skincare routine)

Some of the Takeaways & Insights:

"It's Immoral": Tarang’s controversial take on why charging $40 for lip oil is a scam.
The $38 vs. $8 Math: How e.l.f. beats luxury brands at their own game
The Crash vs. The Opp: Why the stock is down 60% and why Tar
The $1B Rhode Deal: The inside story of buying Hailey Bieber’s company.
S&: Why "Scrolling & Development" (reading TikTok comments) beats traditional innovation.
Where there’s Mystery, there’s Margin: Why cosmetics are so expensive in the first place.

📅 “Year in Review 2025” — Maxxing, Robots, & Kale Collar Workers

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Yetis, the 3 biggest forces in business in 2025? Trump, AI, & Affordability. For more on that? Look at every other newsletter, podcast, and social media post of every day this year.

But instead, we found the 3 biggest “pop-biz” themes of 2025: Maxxing, robots, & kale collar workers.

1. “Everything Maxxing”… From Protein Maxxing to Tariff Maxxing to the Casino Economy.

2. “Robots got Promoted”… Waymos, Blue Collar Bots, and laundry-folding humanoids.

3. “Kale Collar Workers”… Ambitious Zillennials cut Slop Bowls, but embraced Thriftonomics.

🍌⚾ "Burn the Boring" — Savannah Bananas Co-Founders Jesse & Emily Cole

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Watch the interview on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/eyS-eokvP-U

Everyone laughed when Jesse and Emily Cole said they were going to save baseball by turning it into a circus. The traditionalists said it was a mockery. The investors said it wouldn't scale. Babe Ruth woulda blushed.

But today, while the Red Sox and Yankees yawn in the dugout, the Savannah Bananas are selling out those very same stadiums… while on stilts.

In this episode, we sit down with the husband-and-wife co-founders to uncover how they turned a struggling startup - with so much debt they had to sell their house - into a viral phenomenon with a waitlist of over 1 million people.

We dive deep into their "Fans First" business model, why they refuse to take VCmoney, and how "burning the boring" let them create a new sport and disrupt a 100-year-old industry.

They even got engaged in the middle of a (rainy) baseball game.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

The "Anti-Business" Model: Why they refuse to take investors, sell advertising, charge for hot dogs, or collect sales taxes.
Burn The Boring: How they audited every second of a baseball game to eliminate friction (goodbye, bunts and walks).
The "Do The Opposite" Strategy: How a philosophy inspired by P.T. Barnum & Walt Disney helped them win in the attention economy.
Metrics vs. Magic: Why Jesse and Emily ignore traditional ROI data to focus on "Return on Fan".
(And why you should check the weather before proposing)

TIMESTAMPS:

0:00 - Intro: The "Cirque du Soleil" of Baseball
2:05 - The Meet Cute: How Jesse & Emily Met
5:20 - Why They Refused VC Money (Owning 100% Equity)
6:48 - The Walt Disney Lesson on Control
8:45 - Leaving $50 Million on the Table
12:55 - Burning the Boring: Inventing Banana Ball
19:00 - Failures: The "Human Pinata" Disaster
24:00 - The Strategy: "Whatever is Normal, Do The Opposite"
31:00 - Making Decisions on Intuition vs. Spreadsheets
42:00 - The Story That Defines "Fans First"
51:40 - Rapid Fire Questions

📈 Jim Cramer: Why You Should Never Buy "Normal" Stocks

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Jim Cramer’s new advice ain’t what your parents told you — in fact, he says your mom’s "safe" stocks are a trap.

Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money and the "Sultan of Stocks" joins us to break down exactly how you should be investing right now.

But this isn't the yelling guy you see on TV or the "Inverse Cramer" meme you see on TikTok. This is Jim in "Teacher Mode." We got him to drop the persona and reveal how he turned a job covering the Ted Bundy murders into a Harvard Law degree and a career at Goldman Sachs.

This guy has a total TBOY vibe, he reveals his insane 3:45 AM routine, and he finally explains why "S&P 500 & Chill" shouldn't be your only strategy.

Oh, and he literally named his dog "Nvidia"... back in 2017. True story.

(plus, we pitched him our stock picks too)

But there's so much more. In this interview, Jim tells us all about:

• The "Normal Stock" Trap: Why Banks, Airlines, and Ford are actually dangerous investments (and what to buy instead).

• The 50/50 Rule: Why putting 100% of your money in index funds is a mistake for our generation.

• The "Edge": How he found Nvidia at $2.00 by listening to an Audi executive — and how you can find an edge in your daily life.

🚗 Lyft's Bold New Strategy (with CEO David Risher)

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Lyft’s comeback story ain't Uber’s playbook — it’s something different.

David Risher, Amazon employee #37 and now Lyft’s CEO, joins us to break down the strategy driving Lyft’s turnaround.

This guy has a total TBOY vibe, he's doubled Lyft's stock price, and reveals what proposing to his wife taught him about management (no joke).

Oh, and this Lyft CEO... also drives for Lyft.

But there's so much more. In this interview, David tells us all about:

• His 100-day plan to refocus Lyft on riders and drivers

• How driver cancellations fell from ~15% to ~4.5%

• The story behind Women+ Connect and Lyft Silver

• Lyft’s “situationship” with Waymo (and where self-driving cars fit)

• Why he still drives Lyft — and what he learns from chit-chatting with you in the backseat.

PART 2 👜Birkin: The Handbag That Costs More Than Your House

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

When Jane Birkin's boyfriend ran over her beloved wicker basket, she was stuck lugging a messy tote onto a flight to London. As her Hermès planner exploded across the first-class cabin, her mortified seatmate suggested she needed a bag with pockets. "Hermès doesn't make one with pockets," Jane sighed. He replied: "But I am Hermès." Jean-Louis Dumas, head of the luxury empire, watched Jane sketch her dream bag on an airplane vomit bag. Three years later, the first-ever Birkin arrived as a gift… kicking off what would become the most expensive, hard-to-get handbag design in the world. But this hand-stitched masterpiece wasn’t always the ultimate status symbol. The Birkin didn’t fit in the logo-obsessed 1980s, and didn’t truly pop off until it landed a starring role on Sex and the City. Today, Birkins start at $12,000 with impossible waitlists, while the rarest sell for $450,000—more than some houses—and have spawned multi-million-dollar counterfeit rings.

Discover how Hermès weaponized scarcity to invent the Holy Grail of handbags; how a luxury product can outperform the stock market; and why the Birkin Bag is the best idea yet.

PART 2 🏰 Disneyland: The Fantasy that Almost Flopped

Who wouldn’t want to visit the happiest place on Earth? Well — at the start of the 1950s, it seemed like no one did, at least not when Walt Disney pitched the idea. Sure, Walt had revolutionized animation with Steamboat Willie. And he'd had critical successes with classics like Snow White and Bambi. But his studio was nearly bibbidi-bobbidi-bankrupt,. Even so, Walt just wouldn't Let It Go.

Then, after Cinderella (another of Walt’s “crazy” ideas) hit the bigtime at the box office, Walt had the creative capital to strike a groundbreaking TV deal to fund his park’s construction.

Thanks to Walt's epic vision, relentless eye for detail, and a build-it-in-no-time sprint, Disneyland rose from orange grove backwater to a live-televised opening day spectacle (90 million viewers) — and straight into one of the most chaotic debuts in history. From plumbing problems to gas leaks, this is the story of how the theme park went from Goofy idea to the lynchpin in the Disney empire — and why Disneyland is the best idea yet.

🎙️ “LIVE Interview with Slate’s CEO 🛻 Chris Barman’s EV Disruptor”

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 07:01:00 GMT

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.

Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate’s not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it’s also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).

So in today’s interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it’s possible to build and sell a car for $25. She’ll tell us the craziest idea they *didn’t* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump’s EV moves.

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Live… from Chicago… it’s The Best One Yet!

We performed our show in front of a live studio audience of Besties & Yetis at Chicago’s famous Vic Theater. Some extra razzle dazzle & sprinkle dinkle — but our usual daily Takeaways you know & love.

#1: Michael Jordan’s mansion is now on Airbnb ($17K/night)… but can it boost the stock?

#2: Mattel’s Uno card game is expanding into movies & theme parks… by borrowing a strategy from Duolingo.

#3: Amazon just acquired an AI listening device to be your personal assistant… can it make the iPhone a dumb phone?

#4: The Tour de France ends this weekend… and the $150M event is the wildest outlier in the business of sports.

🇺🇸 Hamilton: From Founding Father To Broadway Star

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

In 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda badly needed a vacation. He’d just won the Tony for his musical “In The Heights,” he’d been going nonstop. So he took a break, bringing a book with him for poolside lounging: the 800-page biography of America’s first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. But what started as a light beach read soon became an obsession. Lin HAD to bring this man’s incredible life to the stage. Thus began an epic journey: from the White House, to Lincoln Center, to (eventually) Broadway. “Hamilton” became a massive success, scoring a record 16 Tony noms, the Pulitzer Prize, and $1B+ in revenue. But along the way, Lin and his team had to reckon with a problem: when your show about democracy becomes too exclusive, how do you bring it back to the people? Find out how Ham4Ham broke the B’way mold, how a streaming deal with Disney+ set the stage for Taylor Swift, and why “Hamilton” is the best idea yet.

👾 “Reddit vs AI” — Our Interview with Reddit CEO Steve Huffman

Fri, 20 Jun 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Reddit… it’s the most important company in social media right now, because it’s the most different. It’s the 5th most visited website in America, the internet’s front page, and the most valuable source of content to train artificial intelligence (Sam Altman pays *them*). They’ve got a partnership with OpenAI… yet the content is anti-AI. And co-founder / CEO Steve Huffman runs the most real company in tech right now… and he's a classically-trained ballroom dancer.

In this interview episode, you’ll hear…

How ballroom dancing is like running a company.
The invention of the upvote/downvote.
Reddit’s version of judicial, legislative, and executive branch.
How the CEO of reddit decides when to ban an account.
How AI models train by reading reddit.
Should Reddit rebrand to “Real”?

🌎 Google Maps: The Actual ‘Everything App’

Mon, 26 May 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

When out-of-work coder Jens Rasmussen couldn’t find directions to a cafe in Copenhagen, he wound up changing navigation forever. Alongside his brother Lars (also an out-of-work coder), Jens developed a radical vision—not just for a faster map, but a vibrant, multi-dimensional platform to help plan your entire life. With maxed-out credit cards, these Danish brothers built a prototype that caught Google co-founder Larry Page's eye—but faced HUGE technical issues to get it over the line. From CIA-funded satellites, to a ""Mad Max"" desert race, the road to Google Maps was a journey in itself that created an $11 billion revenue generator powering everything from Uber to Airbnb. Discover why you should never correct your customers when they make a wrong turn, the power of an SNL name check, and why Google Maps is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

Roscoe Rodda was in the fight of his life. His candy factory was right down the road from Milton Hershey’s—yes, THAT Hershey’s—and he needed to set himself apart. So Roscoe embraced a single holiday to get the competitive confectionery edge: Easter. Chocolate eggs, jellybeans… and a secret treat painstakingly sculpted behind closed doors: a marshmallow chick with inquisitive waxy black eyes. These chicks circulated in obscurity until a Navy engineer-turned- candymaker molded them into a squishy, sugary phenomenon. (Today, 1.5 billion Peeps are eaten worldwide, just during Easter alone.) Find out how Peeps went from secretive snack to Easter GOAT—and why some people love ‘em, some hate ‘em, but everyone loves exploding them in the microwave. Here’s why Peeps are the best idea yet.

💦 “The Fitness Pod” — Our 3 Best Fitness & Apparel Stories

Fri, 14 Mar 2025 07:01:00 GMT

Since it’s Spring Break (or you may just need a break from the insane news cycle), we whipped up 3 of our best pop-biz stories on the fitness industry from the last year:

#1. Barry’s Bootcamp tries to sell itself for $700M… Because nothing drives cash flow like a cult.

#2. Vuori is eating Lululemon’s leggings… And it’s now worth twice as much as Under Armour.

#3. Nike’s stock had its worst day in over 20 years… but Nike’s pain is Adidas’ gain.

Share this episode with your spotter, your trainer, or your buddy who’s decked out in head-to-toe Alo in Cabo (even though they’re just grabbing coffee).

We’ll be back with our usual daily show on Monday… just gotta hit the showers first.

🌆 Sesame Street: The Trojan Horse of TV

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

Once upon a time, American kids had a problem—OK, two. They were watching way, WAY too much TV and they were falling way, way behind in school. But then a trailblazing producer and her psychologist friend asked a bold question: What if we used the first problem to solve the second? The result: Sesame Street, home of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert & Ernie, and a social-media superstar named Elmo. Since Sesame Street’s debut in 1969—the same year as the moon landing!—the show’s helped educate more than 150 million kids in 70 different languages while breaking racial barriers along the way. It’s also taught us the meaning of friendship, the value of neighbors, and the joy of a good rubber ducky. And it was only possible thanks to audacious creators, educators, and one shaggy-looking puppeteer named James Maury Henson (but you can call him Jim). Learn about Kermit The Frog’s commercial past, why the only bets worth making are contrarian ones, and why Sesame Street is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

The Best Idea Yet 🐂 Oregon Trail: Tricking Kids into Liking School Since 1971

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 08:01:00 GMT

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

Pop quiz: What’s the longest-running video game in history? It’s not Pac-Man or Donkey Kong or even Pong… it’s The Oregon Trail. A true pioneer (and we don’t just mean the ones in the covered wagons), the Oregon Trail has sold more than 65 million copies (that’s more than the Beatles’ White Album) and it spawned an “edu-tainment” industry now worth over $6B. But this wholesome game was created by three Minnesota student teachers, without a single thought towards making money… which is exactly why Oregon Trail made so much of it. Find out why this iconic game is a textbook MVP (Minimum Viable Product)… how an acquisition by Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful” almost led to a collab with Barbie… and why the Oregon Trail is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.

Episodes drop every Tuesday, free to listen to wherever you get your pods.

Break out the bubbly, turn on the jets, and hop into our Hot Tub Time Machine: we’re going back to the origins of the Jacuzzi. The world’s most iconic whirlpool has become a symbol of status and luxury—think Scarface’s bathtub. But its roots are humble, starting with a family of seven Italian immigrant brothers. Over three generations, they pivoted one technology from airplanes to agriculture to the 1st-ever modern hot tub. It’s also the story of overcoming tragedies, and a devoted father trying to save his young son’s life. Find out why family businesses actually end… why half a pivot is more like a flinch… and why the Jacuzzi is the best idea yet.

The Best Idea Yet 🌶️Sriracha: From Refugee to Billionaire

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 08:01:00 GMT

Follow our The Best Idea Yet, our 2nd podcast series, to get episodes like this every week:

Chances are you’ve got a bottle of Sriracha chilling in your fridge right now, but have no idea who invented it — and the spicy story of how he did it. Entrepreneur David Tran fled Vietnam in the late 70s, smuggling gold bars into the US to start his venture - selling hot sauce out of a van. Little did he know his thick, spicy red jalapeño concoction would make him the world’s first hot sauce billionaire… without ever spending a single dollar on advertising (FYI: Kraft dropped $750M on marketing alone in 2023). For over 40 years, David’s stayed laser-focused on making “a rich man’s sauce at a poor man’s price.” But when massive pepper shortages threatened the entire business, he faced a choice more painful than Tabasco on a paper cut. Find out how David puts “Co’s before Pro’s” (customers before profits)...and why Sriracha is the best idea yet.

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 07:01:00 GMT

Episode #1 of our new show… The Best Idea Yet. We’re serving it up here early for the Besties & Yetis.

For future episodes of TBIY, subscribe/follow here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

The Happy Meal is the most successful meal in human history. With over 35 billion units sold, or about four for every person on Earth, McDonald’s iconic “Food and Fun in a Box” has also made the company a bigger toy distributor than Hasbro or Mattel (and maybe even Santa). But few know the Happy Meal’s contested origin story. Was the creator a mom of five in Guatemala, an ad man from Kansas City, or a forgotten franchise called “Burger Chef”? Spoiler, it wasn’t Grimace. Hear how McDonald’s perfected a strategy called the “window of loyalty,” and visit a little place called “Hamburger University.” Listen to find out why The Happy Meal is the best idea yet!

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with, and the bold risk takers who brought them to life.
