## Resource

BuzzFeed was just sold… so we wrote a eulogy to the most disruptive media brand of the decade. Inflation’s new milestone… It beat your paycheck (and is explained by Diet Coke cans in India). Why is $50 Swatch collabing with $50,000 Audemars Piquet?... It’s the oddest couple in history. Plus, UFOs now have an ETF… Yes, you can invest in aliens — and so can they. $SWGAY $BZFD $UFOD $SPY NEWSLETTER: https://tboypod.com/newsletter   OUR 2ND SHOW: Want more business storytelling from us?
