## Resource

Group Chat News is back with the hottest stories of the week and a special interview with Michael Katz, founder of Trove and longtime mentor to Dee, to talk about the explosion of the trading card and collectibles space. Michael breaks down how Trove is reinventing pack opening as a digital experience with real graded cards, why physical assets are having a moment, and what's behind the cultural shift that put card ripping on the red carpet. The guys go deep on the LA mayoral race and Spencer Pratt's surge, The market section tackles GLP-1 drugs as the biggest consumer shift in a generation, the collapse of junk food categories, the rise of Erewhon and Laurel Supply as the future of grocery, and the case for being long assets right now.
