It has now been about a year since Bayer suddenly shut down Care/of…the personalized nutrition brand it acquired in 2020. So, with hindsight providing us 20/20 vision…what can the supplement industry learn about this intense “rise and fall” business story? And you might be thinking, "aren't we too late to learn from the Care/of vitamins business story?" Though, anyone even remotely paying close attention to either the enormous shift in supplement industry marketplace dynamics, the complex (and ever-changing) world of personalized nutrition, and/or the ongoing turnaround efforts at one of the largest players in pharmaceuticals, consumer health, and crop science…knows patience was required to create decisive confident statements about this specific business event. So, my latest first principles thinking content will explore what really happened at Care/of and examine if it has broader implications to what was dubbed by many insider experts and (and mainstream news) sources as the “future of wellness.” Did the Bayer “billion-dollar consumer health brand or bust” mentality cause it? Was it an internal Care/of strategic failures? Or has personalized nutrition been overhyped and will never provide substantial long-term market attractiveness?

The draft says the Security Council “welcomes the new ceasefire proposal announced on May 31, which is acceptable to Israel ... (and) calls upon Hamas to also accept it.” But an Israeli official said that the language overlooks Israel's stated aim of destroying Hamas. *) Sodomised to death: Stories of torture at Israel's Sde Teiman base emerge https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/sodomised-to-death-stories-of-torture-at-israels-sde-teiman-base-emerge-18170660 A three-month investigation by The New York Times has unearthed severe torture and egregious human rights violations at an Israeli military base in Sde Teiman, southern Israel. Since the onset of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, a chilling pattern of grotesque abuse has emerged within Sde Teiman's walls. Detainees, shackled by horror, have borne witness to unspeakable acts: sodomised with metal rods, jolted with electricity, and subjected to merciless beatings with batons, rifle butts, and handheld metal detectors. *) Outrage grows as RSF is blamed for killing 100+ in Sudan's Gezira https://www.trtworld.com/africa/outrage-grows-as-rsf-is-blamed-for-killing-100-in-sudans-gezira-18170661 Sudanese and international organisations and institutions have condemned the killing of over 100 civilians in the village of Wad al Noora in Sudan's Gezira state allegedly by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

The Madani Resistance Committee, a local pro-democracy activists group, put the toll at “more than 104.” *) Ukraine to get $225M worth US weapons that Kiev can use inside Russia https://www.trtworld.com/us-and-canada/ukraine-to-get-dollar225m-worth-us-weapons-that-kiev-can-use-inside-russia-18170649 US officials said Washington will send about $225 million in military package to Ukraine. The officials said the aid includes munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, as well as mortar systems and an array of artillery rounds. Under a new US directive, Ukraine can use such weapons to strike across the border into Russia if Russian forces there are attacking or preparing to attack. And finally… *) Survey: 21% Germans prefer ‘more players with white skin' in national team https://www.trtworld.com/discrimination/survey-21-germans-prefer-more-players-with-white-skin-in-national-team-18170245 A new survey on German football and racism has sparked an intense debate in the country ahead of the Euro 2024 Championship. In a representative poll by public broadcaster ARD, 21% of Germans said they prefer to see more players with white skin in the national football team. Nearly 17% said they regret that the national team's current captain is a player with Turkish roots. Ronny Blaschke, a renowned expert on German football, said the outcome of the survey was not surprising, as racism in football has long been a serious problem, and was further exacerbated by the rise of the anti-immigrant far-right AfD party.

Its recent $225M private equity financing raises questions about maintaining its independence. Despite uncertainties, A24's commitment to quality cinema has earned it a dedicated following and plaudits. Yet, parallels to past indie studios suggest a potential fate of acquisition and the end of A24 as we know it.Lee welcomes data journalist and pop culture lover, Daniel Parris, author of the Stat Significant newsletter, who has crunched the numbers to analyse the rise of A24 and whether it predicts trouble or further success in the future.Read Daniel's article here > Civil War' and the Rise of A24: A Statistical Analysis

The real estate sector is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions globally – and it's not just because of the power used to electrify or cool a building. Creating and transporting all of the materials that go into a building is a huge source of carbon emissions that the industry is now trying to reel in by tracking what's known as embodied carbon. In this episode of Looped In, we talk to Skanska USA's Houston lead, Matt Damborsky, about how the developer is reducing the embodied carbon in its office skyscraper 1550 on the Green in downtown Houston. We also get an in-depth look at how more real estate firms and construction suppliers are tracking embodied carbon using an online database called EC3 tool, talking with one of its creators, Stacy Smedley. The good news: it's not as expensive or time-consuming as you might think to significantly lower embodied carbon emissions, and Skanska is hoping more real estate firms follow suit.

While San Francisco Giants fans range from hopeful to skeptical about the team's chances of landing Aaron Judge, MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi said on Thursday "There's a legitimate chance that Aaron Judge becomes a San Francisco Giant." Judge's favorite player growing up, Rich Aurilia, went on KNBR on Wednesday and said that Morosi told him the Giants' odds of landing Judge were 50 percent, whereas the combined odds of the Yankees plus everybody else equaled 50 percent. That would mean, in essence, that Morosi views the SF Giants as the most likely team to come away with Judge. Morosi also said that the Giants would need to prove to Judge that they can win around him, but all indications are that that is their intention. He also said that the Giants might need to get closer to $40M per year to come away with Judge. As has been suggested on this show, something like 8/$320M ($40M AAV) could possibly get a deal done. The Yankees' reported offer on the table to judge is 8/$300M ($37.5M AAV).If the San Francisco Giants are able to land Aaron Judge, what else would they do around him? It all depends on how high they're willing to push their payroll. Adding Judge would push them beyond where they've been in recent years, but they also have a lot of future flexibility with almost no guarantees on the books for 2024 and literally $0 committed in 2025 and beyond. So it's not out of the question that that could carry a $200M+ payroll in 2023, and they could go lower in 2024 if they wanted to. The Giants are set to receive $30M from the sale of BAMTech to Disney. The first luxury tax threshold is $233M in 2023, and the SF Giants are nowhere near it. Adding Judge, Carlos Correa, and Carlos Rodón at roughly their predicted AAV's would push the Giants to about $225M, still underneath the first luxury tax threshold.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

In Todays Episode with Sheel Mohnot We Discuss: 1.) Entry into Venture: How Sheel made his way into the world of venture having founded 2 fintech companies?

How did BTV with Jake come together most recently? What are the biggest differences to Sheel of being a fund manager vs being an investor? 2.) The Power Law: How does Sheel define "the power law" in venture capital? What multiple of return would be power law status? Given the size of outcome available with these power law returns, how does Sheel approach portfolio construction? Would it not be best to invest in 100s of companies? Who does Sheel believe has done the indexing approach best? Why? 3.) Venture Capital has Never Been Less Collaborative: Why does Sheel disagree with Harry that venture capital has never been less collaborative? Why now, for the first time, are large multi-stage funds taking single-digit ownership? Does Sheel agree with Harry it is moronic to have "guaranteed pro-rata"? How does Sheel approach re-investment decision-making? When does he pay up vs not? 4.) The Biggest Wins and Misses: What have been Sheel's biggest wins from a cashback and a multiple perspective? How did Sheel miss the chance to invest in both Robinhood and Chime early on? What did he not see? How would he have thought differently with the benefit of hindsight? How have Sheel's biggest hits and misses impacted how he invests today? 5.) Emerging and Frontier Markets: Does Sheel share Harry's concern for the removal of capital from emerging markets? Why does Sheel believe that India, South East Asia and LATAM will be fine? Why does Sheel believe Pakistan and Africa are most in trouble? What advice does Sheel give to his emerging markets founders today? Items Mentioned in Today's Episode: Sheel's Favourite Book: Enders Game
