Send us a textThis week on The Skinny On, Kristen and Jen power through illness, time zone chaos, and toddler wrangling to bring you a jam-packed episode to break down two major consumer deals: Ferrero's $3.1B offer for Kellogg and the possible Heinz Kraft breakup. They explain why these legacy food brand split up, the logic behind reverse mergers and spin offs, and how wellness trends are shaping the M&A landscape.They also revisit the Kraft-Heinz saga—from Kraft's origins as a Philip Morris spinoff to its Cadbury takeover, spin off breaking into Kraft and Mondelez and eventual reverse merger with Heinz, backed by 3G Capital and Warren Buffett. It's a rare example of a mega-deal gone wrong, and Jen and Kristen unpack how the deal was structured, why it disappointed, and what Buffett's $12B investment ($4Bn of common and $8Bn of preferred equity) really meant. With Kraft-Heinz now considering a breakup to "unlock shareholder value," they examine the long arc of strategic separation as a financial tool—and its implications for investors.Finally, the duo pivots to Wall Street career trends, sharing firsthand stories of how trading desks once ruled the world, how quant roles are often misunderstood, and why sales & trading may be poised for a comeback. They reflect on the brutal pace of recruiting cycles, the importance of self-awareness in navigating early career decisions, and how the sexiest seat on the Street can change overnight.

Want to know the biggest reason your marketing isn't working? It doesn't reflect you.Most ads are generic. They could work for any business. But the best ads only work for one—because they're built around the true personality of the founder or brand. They're specific, not because of the product, but because of who's behind it. That's what makes them powerful. That's what makes them real. That's the heart of relational marketing— which is what today's episode is all about.I'm joined by Roy H. Williams—better known as the “Wizard of Ads”—who has helped iconic companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK craft ads that fueled billion-dollar growth. Over the past 40 years, Roy has advised hundreds of founders, showing them how to grow through story, truth, and personality, instead of gimmicks, hype, or shallow tactics.If you want to write ads that break through the noise and actually connect with your buyers, this episode will change the way you think about marketing forever.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How Roy helped grow 1-800-GOT-JUNK from $97M to $1B—by leading with truth and identity, not data or demographics.2.) Why identity—not logic—drives every buying decision, and how your brand can tap into who your customers really are in order to better serve them.3.) What makes a company truly remarkable—and the one question Roy uses to test if your marketing actually makes people care.4.) The 4 things every human is secretly looking for—and how to build them into your ads so people don't just notice you… they trust you.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/247Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

The show opens with June's PPI numbers and we were below expectations, showing inflation still isn't a problem, despite the dire warnings from so many. VP Vance cast the tie breaking vote to push the first recission bill through, cutting $9B in spending, including $1B for NPR and PBS. President Trump also announced saving the largest natural gas energy plant in all of North America while he was in Pennsylvania. Then, today, he announced a huge deal with the country of Bahrain. We have to return to more Epstein conversation, but this time, I think I finally have a much better handle on the strategy of this White House. We use a piece produced by CNN's Kaitlin Collins to illustrate what I believe is happening behind the scenes. Next, we dive into an undercover piece from the O'Keefe Media Group catching a J&J scientist throwing their Covid-19 vaccine under the bus. Other scandals discussed include Sen. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) attempt to re-frame his mortgage fraud woes and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants criminal charges brought on Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Trump administration is halting all access of illegals to Federal programs, meant to save up to $40B annually. An anti-Semitic professor at Georgetown has been removed as Islamic studies department chair. Trump has convinced a dozen Republicans to support stopping any attempt to form a CBDC. We close with another trade deal win for the United States with Indonesia. And, finally, one of Trump's judge appoints gets through the Senate; it only took six months.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto.

They also unpack the regulatory momentum behind the Genius and Clarity Acts, the return of ICO mania with Pump.fun's $1B token raise, and the absurdly viral drama of Suitgate on Polymarket.

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. 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.Episodes drop every Tuesday, listen here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/—-----------------------------------------------------GET ON THE POD: Submit a shoutout or fact: https://tboypod.com/shoutouts FOR MORE NICK & JACK: Newsletter: https://tboypod.com/newsletter Connect with Nick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolas-martell/ Connect with Jack: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-crivici-kramer/ SOCIALS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tboypod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tboypodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tboypod Anything else: https://tboypod.com/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
