Stephen Somers is the founder of Marketplace Superheroes, an online education company that has helped more than 10,000 people build side incomes by selling on Amazon and Whatnot. After starting his career as a data processor in Dublin, Ireland, Stephen built a multi-seven-figure Amazon business alongside his sister and CEO, Lisa Summers. Today, he has sold more than $40 million worth of products, coaching, software, and services and has recently helped his team generate nearly $500,000 in trading card sales on Whatnot. In this episode, Stephen shares how he escaped the traditional 9-to-5 path, built a successful online business, and found new opportunities in live-commerce marketplaces. On this episode we talk about: Why Stephen chose entrepreneurship after realizing the traditional career path wasn't for him How he got his start selling physical products on eBay and Amazon with almost no startup capital Why you don't need to invent a groundbreaking idea to build a successful business How entrepreneurs can find opportunities by getting better at one specific part of an established business model How Whatnot's live-shopping and auction model works and how Stephen's team is making money selling Pokémon trading cards Top 3 Takeaways You don't need a revolutionary idea to make money. Some of the best businesses are built around simple, established products or services with one part of the process executed exceptionally well. Marketplaces can eliminate some of the hardest parts of starting a business. Selling through platforms like Amazon and Whatnot gives entrepreneurs access to customers who are already looking to buy, allowing them to focus on sourcing products and selling effectively. Entrepreneurship is ultimately about buying yourself more choice. Stephen views financial success less as accumulating money and more as creating the freedom to decide how he spends his time, works, and lives. Notable Quotes "The best businesses are actually like just really obvious crap that you just do it a bit better." "We're trying to buy choice as well. And we're trying to trade so we can get choices." "You don't have to go out and reinvent the wheel. You just have to, you know, put a different spoke on it."

Learn more at https://bedrockqe.com.This week on Acquisitions Anonymous, the hosts review the sale of Boomerang Looper, a well-known guitar pedal company that's been around for nearly three decades. The asking price is just $99,000 for a business producing approximately $312,000 in annual revenue and $75,000 in cash flow, complete with trademarks, intellectual property, manufacturing files, customer lists, and ecommerce storefronts.At first glance, the valuation looks almost too good to be true—but a deeper look raises important questions. The flagship products are completely sold out, much of the remaining inventory appears to be generic accessories, and the retiring owner may have stopped reinvesting in manufacturing. The discussion explores whether buyers are acquiring a recognizable niche brand with tremendous upside or inheriting an operation that has already begun winding down.The panel debates inventory strategy, financing challenges, customer demand, and whether this business could realistically scale beyond its current size. It's a fascinating case study in buying product businesses where the intellectual property may be far more valuable than the current operations.Key Highlights:- Legendary guitar pedal brand listed for $99K with approximately $75K SDE.- Includes trademarks, manufacturing schematics, PCB files, Shopify, Amazon, eBay, and Reverb stores.- Flagship products are sold out, raising questions about production, working capital, and owner motivation.- Hosts debate whether the remaining inventory has meaningful value or is mostly low-end generic products.- Financing may be difficult despite the attractive multiple because current operations appear to have slowed significantly.Subscribe to  weekly our Newsletter and get curated deals in your inboxAdvertise with us by clicking hereDo you love Acquanon and want to see our smiling faces?

Sophia Amoruso, founded of Nasty Gal after a successful stint of eBay upselling. It grew into a company worth hundreds of millions and allowed its founder to claim the title of original "girlboss" but eventually filed for bankruptcy. In the space of a few years, she had swapped shoplifting items to sell on Amazon and eBay for clinking champagne flutes in the South of France, schmoozing investors and having her book turned into a Netflix series and dealing with unhappy employees. Did swift success stifle what Nasty Gal could have become? Presenter: Leanna Byrne Producers: Niamh McDermott, Barbara George, Aleeza Siddiq and Victoriya Holland.

Fair warning: Dee Kei opens this one by saying he doesn't know if he's going to release it. Congratulations — you found it.This is a looser, more speculative episode than usual, and that's exactly the point. Dee brings a theory he's been sitting with: that the rise of AI tools and plugin saturation is quietly driving a resurgence in the value of analog gear — not because analog is objectively better, but because it represents something that AI fundamentally can't replicate. Humanness. Randomness. The chaos of a real circuit doing something slightly unpredictable.Lu, who has personally moved over $157,000 in analog gear sales and spent years tracking sold listings on eBay and Reverb, brings the market perspective. They get into which pieces actually hold their value (vintage preamps and compressors from the right era), which ones don't (anything mass-produced and recently released), and the old idea that buying the right gear is just another savings account you can twist the knobs on while you wait.From there the conversation opens up into some bigger territory. They talk about the current bubble of vintage mixer restoration and servicing companies popping up, what vibe coding is doing to the plugin marketplace, and how AI tools are being deployed very differently in live sound versus the studio — including a breakdown of the L-Acoustics source intelligence system and how it can achieve up to 40dB of feedback reduction in real time on a vocal channel. The episode wraps with Dee going full speculative: the Gartner hype cycle and where AI actually lands when the bubble pops, what nuclear fusion does to the cost of running AI at scale, and the two technology shifts he thinks will fundamentally change everything about how we make and experience music.It's the kind of episode that happens when two engineers with too much on their mind decide to just talk.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Charlie D. Becker, a second-generation bookseller whose family runs Houston's largest used and rare bookstore, to unpack the viral tweet that had people convinced AI companies were secretly buying up used books to train their models. Charlie walks through what he actually found in his own warehouse orders, why the more likely explanation is old-fashioned reseller arbitrage and FBA "bookjacking" rather than AI training data, and how that story connects to the real, well-documented case of Anthropic scanning and destroying physical books for legal reasons. From there the conversation moves into the difference between rare and valuable books, the discoverability problem in the used book market, historical parallels like palimpsests and lost texts, his own AI tool for used bookstores, and broader questions about wealthy patronage funding independent research and passion projects.

Charlie D. Becker is a second generation bookseller whose family runs Houston's largest used and rare bookstore, and he is currently building an AI tool specifically designed for used bookstores. He became widely known after a tweet he wrote about AI companies potentially purchasing books went viral with approximately one and a half million impressions, though he emphasizes the importance of being careful about distinguishing between what he has directly observed, what is on public record, and what is his intuition or speculation about these events.2. The controversy around Anthropic and book destruction centers on how AI companies acquire training data from physical books. Court documents revealed that Anthropic acquired physical books in mass quantities to scan them, and they were industrially slicing the spines off to make scanning faster and easier. The legal justification for this practice was that because they destroyed the original physical book after scanning it, they were not violating copyright law since no duplicate copy existed alongside the original. A judge ruled this was technically legal, even though it appeared problematic to many observers, because the destruction of the original meant they were not running afoul of copyright provisions about making copies for distribution.3. Becker received unusual bulk orders for obscure books through a non-Amazon platform in late April, which led him to investigate whether AI companies were responsible for these purchases. However, after analyzing the pattern of purchases and where the books were being shipped, he concluded that a more mundane explanation was likely at work: sophisticated book arbitrage operations. These operations identify books selling cheaply on one platform that could be listed for higher prices on Amazon through Fulfillment by Amazon warehouses, and books that do not sell eventually get recycled or liquidated anyway, meaning rare books are being destroyed through normal commercial operations regardless of whether AI companies are involved.4. The main technical challenge Becker is solving with his AI tool relates to books printed before 1970, which lack ISBNs or International Standard Book Numbers. Modern book cataloging systems are built around ISBNs, which makes it extremely difficult and time-consuming to catalog older books for online sale since there is no automated way to populate bibliographic data for pre-1970 books. His tool uses computer vision and AI to analyze photographs of book covers, title pages, and copyright pages to automatically generate rich bibliographic metadata, and he has partnered with a PhD AI computer vision specialist to develop this technology over the past year.5. A surprising discovery during the development of this cataloging tool was that the existing data for many older books is extremely poor, inconsistent, or completely absent from major databases. For approximately a quarter of the books they process, the only existing records might be an incomplete eBay listing from years ago or a sparse entry in WorldCat, the interlibrary database. This means that rather than simply aggregating existing data, they are actually creating canonical records for many books that will become the authoritative source that others reference, essentially building new infrastructure for book metadata rather than just accessing what already exists.6. Becker advocates strongly for the preservation of obscure and seemingly unimportant books because while they may not have obvious value today, future researchers, tinkerers, or engineers might need them to solve problems we have not yet encountered. He compares this to historical palimpsests where important ancient texts were accidentally preserved when medieval scribes wrote over them, noting that the internet functions more like a palimpsest than an archive since we constantly overwrite and lose information rather than truly preserving it. The current system for deciding which books get preserved or destroyed is essentially random and driven purely by short-term profit motives rather than any thoughtful consideration of potential future value or historical significance.7. The long-term vision for the project extends beyond simple cataloging to creating a comprehensive knowledge graph that distinguishes between works, editions, and individual copies of books in ways that current commercial platforms do not adequately address. Unlike Goodreads which treats all editions of a book as a single work, or platforms like eBay that only show individual edition listings, Becker envisions a system where users can navigate between different organizational levels and explore the genealogy of works across translations, editions, and languages. The project also aims to create copy-level records similar to what libraries maintain, which would track provenance and availability of specific individual copies rather than just edition-level information, something no commercial platform currently does at scale.

I heard a story about a daughter who wrote her dad about marrying someone she met online: “We met on eHarmony, became friends on Facebook, had long chats on WhatsApp. He proposed on Zoom.” Her dad replied, “I suggest you two get married on X, have fun on Tango, buy your kids on Amazon, and, when you get fed up with this new husband, just sell him on eBay.” There are lots of views today on what marriage is, but the one opinion that should really matter is that of the One who invented marriage—Jesus. Even though Jesus was single and never married, He knew more about marriage than any marriage counselor because marriage was His idea. When the Pharisees asked Him about divorce, Jesus didn't answer their question about how to get out of marriage. Instead, He explained why you should stay in marriage. In one simple but unbelievably strong sentence, Jesus taught that in marriage math, 1 + 1 = 1. In this passage, Jesus outlined the three principles you need to guard what God has established and, in doing so, fulfill His purpose in your life.

Polysilicon - Tariffs Plus Price Floors - U.S. policy adds a 15% tariff and minimum import prices on polysilicon and solar products. - Goal is to protect domestic production from low-cost foreign competition. - U.S. share of global polysilicon capacity fell from about 50% in 2005 to under 2% in 2024. - First Solar and T1 Energy jumped on the announcement. ---- The same playbook - rinse and repeat Chipotle - Salmonella Returns - Minnesota officials linked a salmonella outbreak to jalapenos served at Chipotle. - Chipotle removed the affected pepper supply and switched growers. - Shares fell roughly 8%-10% as investors remembered the company's earlier food-safety problems. - This is on top of the lettuce situation with Sweetgreen- look at  STOCK CHART FOR SG Michael Burry - Calling a Major Top - Michael Burry says the market may be near a "major top." - Warned of the possibility of a 1987-style market drop. - He is short names including Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and semiconductor stocks. - Main concern is stretched valuations and crowded trades unwinding quickly. - This may be the 100th top he has called since the GFC ---- NVIDIA TURNS GPUs INTO AN ASSET CLASS - Nvidia signed preliminary agreements with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to mobilize more than $500 billion for AI infrastructure. - The Wall Street firms would create dedicated pools of capital to finance Nvidia-based data centers and compute infrastructure at what Nvidia calls attractive rates for customers. - Jensen Huang: “This is really the first time that technology chips have become an investable asset class.” Nvidia says the compute assets now generate revenue and can increasingly be financed like infrastructure. - Nvidia could backstop as much as 25% of individual investments on a case-by-case basis - potentially up to about $125 billion if applied across the full program. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE BREAKS 300 MILLION - The Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.1 million barrels to 298.7 million barrels for the week ended Aug. 7 - below 300 million for the first time since January 1983. - The SPR started 2026 around 415 million barrels, meaning more than 100 million barrels have already come out this year as releases were used to offset disruptions from the Iran conflict. - The reserve's authorized storage capacity is roughly 714 million barrels, leaving current inventories at about 42% of capacity. - Oil on the rise last week Earnings and such Toyota - Big Buyback, Better Outlook - Toyota raised its annual operating-profit forecast 13%, helped by the weaker yen. - Announced a share buyback worth up to $6.3 billion. - Quarterly operating profit still fell 9%, hurt by China weakness and higher Middle East-related costs. McDonald's - Value Problem - U.S. same-store sales rose just 0.8%, below expectations and well below last year's 2.5% growth. - Management blamed weak execution of value promotions and fewer digital deals. (and probably because everyone is taking weight loss drugs - see above) - Lower-income customer traffic remains a major pressure point. - McDonald's is bringing back more digital offers and loyalty promotions to drive traffic. Eli Lilly - Weight-Loss Machine - Lilly crushed Q2 expectations as Mounjaro and Zepbound drove most of the growth. - Mounjaro sales hit $9.94 billion; Zepbound brought in $4.93 billion. - Raised 2026 revenue guidance to $85-$87 billion. - Verzenio, its major breast-cancer drug, remains one of Lilly's biggest non-obesity products. - Lilly continues widening its lead over Novo Nordisk in the obesity-drug market.

Oil - OPEC Adds Barrels, Maybe - OPEC+ agreed to raise September production targets by another 188,000 barrels per day. - The increase completes the rollback of a 1.65 million-barrel-per-day supply cut dating back to 2023. (In other words - planned so not a surprise) - Actual supply remains constrained because several producers are already pumping below quota. - Any normalization around the Strait of Hormuz could suddenly make OPEC+'s additional barrels much more important. Berkshire Hathaway - Greg Abel Starts Spending - Q2 operating earnings rose 16% to about $13 billion. - Berkshire bought $23.5 billion of stocks and sold just $3.7 billion - its first quarter as a net stock buyer in 14 quarters. - Bought back $4.5 billion of Berkshire shares, versus only $235 million in Q1. - Cash dropped from roughly $380 billion to $365 billion as Abel starts putting the massive cash pile to work. - Important shift: Buffett is still chairman, but this is one of the clearest signs yet of how Greg Abel may allocate capital differently as CEO. Situational Awareness - Nearly Blows Up, Investors Want Back In - The fund lost 67% in July after leveraged AI bets collapsed and forced a major stock sale to Citadel. - Despite the blowup, Situational Awareness was still up about 80% for 2026 because of huge earlier gains. - Bloomberg says Silicon Valley investors are already asking to put more money into the fund. - Situational Awareness is currently telling prospective investors it is not accepting new capital. - The fund has also continued making large private investments even after the near-collapse. --- Most recent was a $400B ---- There is some talk that Citadel made out like a bandit on the rescue Mercedes AMG - The Car Literally Brands You - Two Mercedes AMG owners filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the metal AMG logo embedded in the seat becomes dangerously hot in the sun. - One driver says he suffered first- and second-degree burns, with a dermatologist describing the injury as "AMG inscribed." - The lawsuit wants Mercedes to cover damages and remove the metal logos from affected vehicles. - Hard to beat this one: pay AMG money and get the logo branded into your back. Europe's Drought - History Starts Popping Out - Extreme drought and low river levels are exposing things that have been underwater or hidden for decades or centuries. - In Serbia, sunken German World War II warships have reappeared in the Danube. - In Britain, dry ground revealed outlines of medieval buildings; mammoth remains and ancient structures have also surfaced elsewhere. - Serious drought story, but visually one of the strangest side effects of the summer. Golden Toilet - $6 Million Flush - The 18-carat gold toilet was ripped out of Blenheim Palace in a five-minute raid and has never been recovered - but there is a conviction. - Prosecutors used phone data, forensic evidence and planning activity to link the gang to the theft. - One defendant had cased the palace beforehand and photographed entry points; another man had already pleaded guilty and admitted helping move the stolen gold. - Prosecutors believe the 98-kilo toilet was quickly cut up or melted down and sold as gold. - So the conviction was based on evidence of the robbery and disposal - not on recovering the actual toilet. Final Follow Up SpaceX - Space Junk Smashes Into the Moon - A dead SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage crashed into the moon at about 5,400 mph after drifting through space since January 2025. - The roughly 4-ton, school-bus-size object kicked up a lunar dust plume that astronomers detected from Chile. - The impact was accidental - solar activity and gravity gradually pushed the abandoned rocket stage onto a collision course. - NASA and SpaceX are now discussing ways to prevent future lunar crashes as more hardware heads toward the moon. - NEED Space garbage Trucks - something we have discussed on show for years (see next) Space Garbage Trucks - This Is Becoming a Business - Astroscale is building spacecraft designed to inspect, capture and remove dead satellites and other orbital debris. - Its ADRAS-J mission demonstrated close approach and inspection of a large piece of existing space junk - a key step before actually grabbing and removing debris. - ClearSpace is developing similar debris-removal spacecraft, including missions designed to rendezvous with and capture abandoned rocket hardware. - The business model is basically orbital towing: governments and satellite operators pay to remove dangerous junk or service aging spacecraft. - With tens of thousands of tracked objects already in orbit, "space sanitation" could become a real infrastructure business.   Love the Show?

How do you give difficult feedback without damaging trust?Katie O'Brien Ceccarini, author of Fearless Feedback: Everything Managers Have Never Been Taught About Feedback and founder of Endurance Management Coaching, brings two decades of experience leading, managing, and training teams. She shares how leaders can prepare for hard conversations, navigate emotional reactions, and say what needs to be said while preserving the relationship.Katie explains that fearless feedback starts before we ever choose the right words. It begins with our mindset, the strength of the relationship, and the intention we bring into the conversation. When we believe in the other person's ability to grow, we are more likely to communicate with conviction, clarity, and care.She also shows us how to stay present when feedback brings up defensiveness, emotion, silence, or resistance. Instead of reacting to what we see on the surface, we can get curious about what may be happening underneath. We can acknowledge someone's experience without abandoning the message, and we can refocus the conversation without turning it into a debate.When we strengthen our mindset, relationships, and delivery, we can give feedback with greater courage, build trust through difficult moments, and create conversations that help people grow.Key Takeaways:Prepare Your Mindset for Feedback: Explore how the beliefs you bring into a conversation can shape how your message is received.Strengthen the Relationship First: Consider how trust and safety can create a stronger foundation for honest feedback.Open the Conversation Well: Discover how a thoughtful headline can make difficult feedback easier to hear and engage with.Navigate Difficult Reactions: Examine how the HEAR framework can help you respond when feedback triggers defensiveness, emotion, or resistance.Make a Better Second Choice: Learn how noticing your first reaction can help you approach challenging feedback conversations with greater courage.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment) - In less than 10 minutes, find out where you're empowering and inadvertently kills productivity, and get a custom report that will tell you step by step what you need to have your team get more done.

In this episode of the Travis Makes Money Podcast, Travis Chappell and producer Eric take a skeptical—and surprisingly nuanced—look at NFTs, Gary Vaynerchuk's continued belief in digital assets, and the difference between a failed trend and an emerging technology that may still have lasting value. They break down why most NFTs were always likely to become worthless, why a small number could potentially become valuable digital collectibles, and how entrepreneurs can recognize opportunities in overlooked markets without confusing speculation with sound investing. On this episode we talk about: Why Gary V remains one of the most influential entrepreneurial voices and why Travis and Eric disagree with some of his NFT takes The difference between an NFT's underlying utility and simply using an NFT as a digital membership or collectible Why the vast majority of NFT projects were—and likely will remain—worthless The comparison between the NFT boom and the dot-com bubble, including how a few winners can emerge from a massive speculative market Why alternative investments like NFTs, collectibles, and altcoins should be treated as speculative “play money” rather than dependable investments Top 3 Takeaways Not every failed trend means the underlying technology is worthless. Just as most dot-com companies failed while Amazon, Google, and eBay survived, a small number of NFT projects could ultimately become valuable digital assets. Separate utility from speculation. An NFT can provide access to experiences, communities, events, or other benefits, but that doesn't automatically make the asset itself a good investment. Know what you're risking. If you're investing in NFTs, collectibles, altcoins, or other alternative assets, treat the money as speculative capital—not money you need for your financial future. Notable Quotes "Ninety-nine percent of these are going to zero." "This is called fucking math." "The question is, are you good enough to pick the winners? That's hard."

Ryan Cohen may pull the $56 billion eBay bid.

“Anthropic will be a $3 trillion company, SpaceX $2 trillion, and OpenAI $1 to $1.5 trillion by Q2 of next year.” — Dave McClure Yesterday, Keith Teare and I debated the circularity of the AI economy. Today, two of Silicon Valley's most experienced investors, Dave McClure and Aman Verjee, not only straighten out this supposed “circularity” but also burst the pessimism bubble that envelops so many conversations about AI. Verjee is not only McClure's partner at Practical Venture Capital, but also the author of the newly published A Brief History of Financial Bubbles. According to him, today's AI-stoked economy is not an unusually large bubble. It may not even be a bubble, given that AI revenue — from Anthropic's $70 billion to OpenAI's $50 billion — is real. The irrational exuberance lives elsewhere — in companies “draping themselves in AI magic sauce” and in the “SaaSpocalypse” that is decimating software-as-a-service companies. They are both bullish about our AI future. McClure predicts that by the first half of next year, Anthropic and OpenAI will have joined SpaceX as public companies. Together, these three AI darlings will be worth $7 trillion. That's seven thousand billion reasons to be optimistic about 2027. Five Takeaways •       Not a Bubble — a Repricing. Both partners reject the bubble call, on the numbers: Anthropic at roughly $70 billion in revenue on under two gigawatts of compute, OpenAI at $40–50 billion, SpaceX guiding to $100 billion with more than half from AI — real revenue, increasingly real profits. The froth is specific: companies “draping themselves in AI magic sauce” without the substance, and the SaaSpocalypse — cloud-software companies whose cash flows are suddenly perceived as far less durable as AI encroaches on design, legal, and medical verticals. Michael Burry's warning gets Aman's definitive treatment (“he's called nine of the last two bubbles”), and the Aschenbrenner blowup was leverage — running four-x in volatile chip stocks — not AI: he kept his Anthropic position, is married to Dario's chief of staff, and “will be just fine.”•       The $2 Trillion Filing. The week's news, baked into the episode: Anthropic has filed to go public, with a very intentionally leaked $2 trillion valuation hinging on a $190–200 billion 2028 revenue forecast — which Dave suspects is conservative. Eight months ago, when these two last visited, the show was about Elon and Sam and Dario was the bit player; then came the weeks when decades happen: Anthropic's bet on coding agents — reportedly inspired by watching Cursor — captured the revenue engine of the entire application layer. Aman's sequencing: SpaceX is absorbing $75–85 billion of IPO capital, Anthropic goes next, and if both trade well, 2026 breaks every record for money raised — leaving 2027 for OpenAI at a $100 billion revenue guide. Google, he reminds us, went fourth after Yahoo, Lycos, and Excite: better to do it right than to do it first.•       The Fastest Pivot in Corporate History. Dave's account of SpaceX's transformation: the $250 billion xAI merger (a largely private transaction Elon approved with himself), the acquisition of Cursor that closed Friday, Colossus data centers scaling from two gigawatts toward ten, and compute deals renting capacity to Anthropic and Google — former competitors — all executed in roughly six months. The S-1, with unprecedented forward projections of $300 billion in annual revenue, mentions artificial intelligence over 1,100 times (“I used AI to count it,” Aman admits). The result is an economy Andrew calls incestuous: SpaceX's valuation now rests on Anthropic's progress. On Elon himself, Dave separates the art from the artist — terrific products, dubious politics — and on OpenAI: more board changes than Spinal Tap had drummers, a team still storming and norming, but Sam is savvy and the IPO lands by Q2 next year at $1–1.5 trillion.•       Circularity as Asset Class. The New York Times sees a vulnerability in tech giants funding their own customers; Aman, a former CFO at eBay and Sonos, sees asset-backed finance. His analogy: buying a Corvette with GMAC financing isn't a conspiracy as long as the terms are commercially reasonable — and NVIDIA's $500 billion backstop, syndicated with Goldman Sachs, Apollo, Brookfield, and KKR, brings third-party money that validates the asset. GPUs, he argues, are cars rather than smartphones: financeable over eight to ten years, not obsolete in three. The red flags to watch are rebates and self-dealing on non-commercial terms; the current evidence looks more like aircraft leasing than Enron. Dave's deeper worry isn't the AI economy at all — it's the national deficit, whose interest payments are now the largest single line item in the federal budget.•       The Luddite Summer Meets the Long Boom. Aman's sharpest historical observation: this may be the first technological revolution whose leaders are the doomers — Sam prophesying idleness, Dario predicting half of entry-level white-collar jobs destroyed within five years (already wrong at eighteen months, with no 10–20 percent unemployment in sight). Against the WSJ's jobless-boom and nation-of-Luddites anxieties, the book offers the long view: of ten historical bubbles, the two positive ones — Britain's 1845 railway mania and America's 1997–2000 internet boom — overbuilt, crashed, and left the world a valuable technology. Buy every stock founded in the boom and hold, and you'd have owned NVIDIA, Amazon, Google, and PayPal. The 1970s wiped out four to six million secretarial jobs in a decade; women's participation rose from 52 to 77 percent. And on China, the free-trader's answer: partners in progress — there's more to gain than lose if we do this right. About the Guests Dave McClure and Aman Verjee are the co-founders and managing partners of Practical Venture Capital, a Silicon Valley firm specializing in venture secondaries. Dave founded 500 Startups, invested at Founders Fund, and ran marketing at PayPal; Aman was COO of 500 Startups, led strategy at PayPal and eBay, served as CFO of Sonos and of eBay's North American marketplace — and wrote the first draft of PayPal's S-1. Aman's new book, A Brief History of Financial Bubbles (out this week), is available at bigbubbletrouble.com. References: •       A Brief History of Financial Bubbles by Aman Verjee — ten manias from the tulips to the subprime crash, out this week at bigbubbletrouble.com.•       Reuters on Anthropic's IPO filing — the $2 trillion valuation and the $190–200 billion 2028 revenue forecast it hinges on.•       “The Summer That America Became a Nation of Luddites” and the “jobless boom” — the Wall Street Journal pieces threading this week's episodes.•       The New York Times on tech giants' circular AI economy — the piece that framed yesterday's TWTW debate and today's rebuttal.•       The SpaceX S-1 — forward projections of $300 billion in ann...

In the second in a series of Critics at Large interview episodes devoted to the topic of cult classics, Naomi Fry talks with the New Yorker staff writer Hannah Goldfield about how that designation applies in the culinary realm. The two discuss specialty ingredients that appear on menus for only the briefest of moments, out-of-print cookbooks that go for hundreds of dollars on eBay, and once niche restaurants that have blown up in the TikTok era. Then, Goldfield makes her case for the particular staying power of Judy Rodgers's “Zuni Café Cookbook,” which has influenced countless chefs and food writers—including Samin Nosrat, whose  “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” immediately soared to the top of best-seller lists upon its release, in 2017. “The Zuni Café Cookbook,” though less accessible, has attracted such illustrious devotees for a reason. “It's text-heavy. It's huge in size. It's a bit intimidating at first,” Goldfield says. “But if you are interested in cooking—or if you have a curiosity about it, even—it's an incredible resource.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Heartburn,” by Nora Ephron “The Joy of Cooking,” by Irma S. Rombauer “Cooking with Love,” by Ruth Sirkis “The Surprising Endurance of Martha Stewart's ‘Entertaining,' ” by Hannah Goldfield (The New Yorker) “Entertaining,” by Martha Stewart “The Zuni Café Cookbook,” by Judy Rodgers “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat,” by Samin Nosrat New episodes drop every Thursday.

You start Shopify… Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those.  [Kooler Garage Doors Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, eh. Stephen Semple: Eh? Dave Young: See what I did there? See what I did there, Stephen? Stephen Semple: I do. Dave Young: Stephen whispered in my ear that we’re going to talk about a Canadian company, eh. Shopify. Stephen Semple: Shopify. Dave Young: And I didn’t know they were Canadian. Stephen Semple: Yes, they are. Yeah. Dave Young: Well, do tell. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Well, and here’s one of the things that I love about this story is it was started by a person who couldn’t get a job and decided to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Snowboards. Stephen Semple: How could I not love that? Dave Young: Yeah. You would love that all day long. Is that where you bought your first snowboard? Stephen Semple: No, it is not but… Dave Young: Wait, wait, you weren’t that kid, were you? Stephen Semple: No, I was not. So they’re a big deal, annual revenue of close to $12 billion. They’re one of Canada’s most valuable companies with $160 billion market cap. They’ve got 7,600 employees worldwide and kind of like five million online stores in 175 countries. And here’s the figure that got me the most when I was researching it. And it’s the number 378 billion. That’s how much merchandise was sold in a year. $370 billion worth of merchandise was sold through Shopify. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: Put that into context, that’s the GDP of Singapore. Dave Young: Yeah, that’s crazy. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: That’s a lot of sales. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So Shopify was founded in 2006 in Ottawa by Tobias Lutke, Daniel Weinand and Scott Lake. But our story starts a couple of years before with Snowdevil, the snowboarding business. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So Tobias was born and raised in Germany, and his parents had this place in the Alps, and they would often drive to the Alps to go skiing. Then they decided to do a trip to Canada to do Whistler. At the time, the Canadian dollar was low. It was like the 2000s, and he decided he was going to snowboard rather than ski. And this is when he fell in love with two things, snowboarding, and he met his now wife, Fiona. Dave Young: Was she also snowboarding? Do we know? Stephen Semple: I don’t know whether she was snowboarding or not. That’s an interesting question. Dave Young: All right. Stephen Semple: So he returns to Germany, they keep in touch, and when she finishes her bachelor degree, she decides to move to Germany. So in Germany, Tobias struggled in school, ADHD, dyslexia, dropped out after grade 10, and he joins a programming apprenticeship program at Siemens. And he’s part of this kind of rebellious environment. He loves it. And he and Fiona are together for about 10 months, and she decides she needs to return to Ottawa to start her master’s program. So he moves with her to Ottawa. Now, he tried to work remotely, but remember, this is the early 2000s. Tools were not really there. You didn’t have Slack, you didn’t have Zoom. It was tough. He wasn’t really able to do it. Dave Young: A little bit of Skype going on by then maybe, but yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, maybe, but even not great, right? He’s spending a bunch of time snowboarding and he dives into it and he’s learning all he can about it. And he even started thinking, “Well, maybe I could sell snowboards online.” And around this time, he gets offer for a job with a business in Ottawa, and the topic of work permit comes up, which oops, he doesn’t have. Dave Young: Doesn’t have a work permit. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right. He’s legally allowed in the country, but he’s not allowed a work permit. So he goes to see a lawyer and he’s told, “Hey dude, you’re unlikely you got a work permit. You’re legal in the country. You could start a business, but you can’t work for someone.” Dave Young: But you can start one. Stephen Semple: But you could start one. Dave Young: That’s all right. I mean, that’s fair. Stephen Semple: So he decides snowboards online, it is. That’s what he’s going to do. Dave Young: Put a hold on that because I’m thinking, start a business. I’m wondering if that’s why there are so many foreign taxi drivers, that a taxi cab was actually a business. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: Working for somebody, you’re working for yourself. Stephen Semple: You are, you’re independent. Yeah. Dave Young: Maybe the whole taxi industry was a loophole. All right. Anyway. Stephen Semple: Could be. Dave Young: So he- Stephen Semple: So Scott Lake, who’s one of the founders, worked for the company that tried to hire Tobias, and they keep in touch. And they decide to create this company Snowdevil together because Scott had all these vendor relationships. Tobias worked on the technology. Now, here was the problem at the time. There was not software to make any of this easy, especially the credit card. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And it was really hard updating and changing websites. Here’s the part that I loved. They wanted to tell stories about every snowboard that was sold. They actually wanted to take the board onto the mountain and chronicle how they spent the day and tell that story of that board and put it on the website. That’s how they were selling boards. This was also around the time the emergence of blogging. So they really felt that if you could wrap this really great story around the product and get people excited about it, they would buy from you and they wanted to break away from this Sears catalog model through the stories. Dave Young: Is this every individual board? Stephen Semple: Yes, had a story. Dave Young: Or every model. Stephen Semple: Every board had a story. Dave Young: Not every model of board. Every single board. Stephen Semple: Well, sorry. When I say board- Dave Young: Every model. Stephen Semple: Every model. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Got you. Stephen Semple: Every model had a story. Dave Young: I mean, because that’s a lot of snowboarding. Stephen Semple: Well, but it was also the early days, there weren’t that many boards out too. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Stephen Semple: Your universe was not as big as it is today. So Tobias, they’re trying to figure out how to do this, and he comes across this program called Ruby on Rails. And here’s the thing that was funny. Dave Young: I remember Ruby on Rails. Stephen Semple: The source code at the time was Latin characters and all the documentation was in Japanese, but he still figured out how to make it work. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: So he started to build an e-commerce platform on that. And one of the big moments for Tobias, and this is the inspiration for Shopify, is the feeling he got when they got notice of their first sale where he’s sitting there and he gets a bing on his phone and they’ve made a sale. And that feeling that he had in that moment was just unbelievable for him. Dave Young: Cha-ching. Yeah. Somebody found us and bought something from us. Stephen Semple: Somebody found us and bought something. This is incredible. Now, they built the business on pay-per-click, but you got to also remember, AdWords at the time, 20 cents a click is what they were spending. Think about it. In the sporting goods space, 20 cents a click. Dave Young: Nobody else had figured it out yet. Stephen Semple: No one else figured it out. And at the time, snowboards had really good margins. They had a good winter. Things went really well. They’re coming into the summer, things are slowing down, and they’re thinking about, “Well, what should we do?” And here’s one of the things that happened. They started getting approached by other people in the industry saying, “Hey, can you license all this stuff that you built? Because we’re trying to figure out how to do this online stuff and it’s really hard. Can you just license that to it and can we just use it?” Dave Young: Seems like they figured that out. Yeah. Stephen Semple: So in 2006, right, so in 2006, Snowdevil disappears. Shopify is born. Dave Young: All right. We can’t… Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Shopify is shopping simplified, Shopify. Dave Young: That’s brilliant. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: The cool thing about software companies like that is you end up with one product and then you can sell that product a million times and it doesn’t cost you anything to make it, really. I mean, it’s software. There’s no manufacturing. Stephen Semple: There’s even something else on this. I’m in a program I think I’ve mentioned before called the Strategic Coach, quarterly coaching program, created by a guy by the name of Dan Sullivan. And one of the things Dan talks about is this idea of strategic byproducts, that when you create a really big goal, what will happen is in the process of achieving that goal, new things come out of it. And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this.  [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: And the reason why he calls them byproducts is sometimes some of the things that come out of it are way more powerful and way more valuable than the original thing you were trying to achieve. And this is a great example of it. The most valuable thing came out of it was this ability to make doing online shopping easier. Their goal was to sell snowboards online. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: The byproduct was this, and the byproduct was way more powerful, way more valuable. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. A lot of people want to sell a lot of things. Stephen Semple: But the problem is sometimes we lose sight of that. We can lose sight of it because we go, “Yeah, but I just wanted to sell snowboards. No, I’m going to ignore this thing.” Rather than, “Oh, wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. There’s this opportunity here.” So I commend them for recognizing that. So they start wanting to develop it as more of a product. Tobias calls Daniel Weinand, who’s the third founder, who’s a buddy from Germany, and he convinces them to come to Canada to help him build the product because he needs more coding. They raise some money, they’re off to the races. But here was even their challenge when it came to running money. Back then, everyone believed the future belonged to giant online malls, Amazon, eBay. Everybody just wants to go to one giant marketplace. Shopify believed something radically different. Instead of building one giant store, what they wanted was help millions of people have their own store. Because when you’re on Shopify, it’s your store. Shopify is just the back end. Dave Young: And they’re not going to do all the things that you hear Amazon does when you try to sell on Amazon, right? They’re going to go figure out how to make your product cheaper and sell it under their name. Stephen Semple: And Tobias talks about in interviews that feeling he had when they got that first online transaction. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s what he wanted people to have. He wanted people to have that opportunity. The idea behind this business was not to develop software. They don’t see themselves as a software company, but they see themselves as a company that helps people start businesses. Shopify wasn’t selling software, they were selling independence. You can own your business, you own your customer list, you own your brand, you own your future. That emotional positioning matters. And it helped attract entrepreneurs who didn’t want to sell inside the Amazon ecosystem because what they were buying was freedom. And this drove a lot of the decision-making because in 2009, the next big evolution that came along was Shopify launched an app store. And basically what it did is it opened its platform to outside developers. Suddenly anyone could build an application that extended Shopify’s capabilities, email marketing, inventory managing, shipping, loyalty programs, accounting, subscriptions, thousands of other tools. And that fundamentally changed the company because if they though of themselves as a software development company, they would’ve tried to develop those things. Instead, they saw themselves as a company that is supposed to simplify this process for people. So therefore, why don’t we take your tool and plug it into ours? Dave Young: Yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? But that thinking is what changed everything. Now, I also want to think about this because we often talk about north stars and things along that lines. When they think about it even from a marketing perspective, when what I’m selling is I’m going to make it easier for you to become an entrepreneur, that’s a very different emotional sales pitch and positioning than I’ve got this tool. And it helped them do things like, well, why wouldn’t we do this app store? Does this app store make it easier for a person to be an entrepreneur? We’re doing it. Dave Young: Yeah, I love it. Stephen Semple: There’s 16,000 apps now in the Shopify app store, and Shopify paid developers over a billion dollars through its ecosystem. Dave Young: That’s pretty amazing. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So think about this. It’s a software company started by a software engineer that decided not to build software. Dave Young: All right. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? And it all goes back to that moment that Tobias felt when he had that first transaction. And he also talks about nothing else changes a person’s life by being able to build their own business. And he was like, if we can facilitate that, their goal is to facilitate people building their business. And if you think about even things like opening it up to the outside, Apple has done it with the App Store. Salesforce has done it with AppExchange, Amazon with Marketplace, Microsoft. Other companies have all done it. But I think these guys just had a real strong north star because they stopped asking the question what we can build and started asking the question of what can others build on top of what we’ve built? Dave Young: Yeah. It’s a beautiful ecosystem. Stephen Semple: Because that driving goal- Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah, because the driving goal was make it easy to start a business. Now, here’s how powerful that idea is. Heard this in an interview with Tobias. So Tobias was being interviewed and this is literally what he said. I recorded it and wrote down the quote. And since we’re talking about stats, this is the most gratifying of all the numbers related to Shopify, and it’s actually the north star of the company. That’s the words he uses. Every 52 seconds, someone has had that experience of getting their first sale, the one I described. And in so many cases, someone is going from being a builder to now being an entrepreneur. There’s so few things you can do that actually changes your identity in a meaningful degree. This company’s heart is really the founder onboarding process and trying to make this simpler. What’s been so fascinating is that the initial idea behind Shopify was that idea. Dave Young: Yeah. Every 52 seconds somebody gets their first buyer. Stephen Semple: First sale. Dave Young: First sale. That’s amazing. Stephen Semple: Their first transaction. Isn’t that incredible? And that’s- Dave Young: It’s a new store every- Stephen Semple: Right. And his summary from his interview of what’s the thing that he was most proud of was that, that’s that. Not the billions of dollars, not this, that every 52 seconds, somebody’s getting their first transaction. Dave Young: I love that. Stephen Semple: Isn’t that incredible? Dave Young: Yes. Yes. There’s nothing not incredible about it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It’s a good thing they didn’t give him a work visa, is what I’m saying. Stephen Semple: Yeah, it all worked out well. But the part is that I found so interesting about this, because we do this when we work with customers. Well, with customers, we help them to find their north star. What’s your north star? Dave Young: Yeah, oh yeah. Stephen Semple: What is that thing for your business? And that the finding of the north star is what actually made all of this work. And they found their north star starting their own business when they had that first transaction. It remained true to that and has driven those decisions and has allowed them to make better strategic decisions such as the App Store. But on top of that, I’m going to say it helped all their marketing messaging because somebody who aspires to be an entrepreneur will connect with Shopify and its goals and dreams and aspirations. Dave Young: Yeah. I love that story. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Wizard Academy has a Shopify store. Stephen Semple: Does it? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Cool. Dave Young: Yeah, shop.wizardacademy.org. You can buy a mug or a postcard. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: Things like that, so. Stephen Semple: Awesome. The only reason I didn’t know that is anytime- Dave Young: I didn’t get the notifications for it. Stephen Semple: Well, and the only reason why I don’t know about that is anytime I buy stuff, I always like getting it when I’m in person. Dave Young: Exactly. Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah. Dave Young: Way more fun. We don’t do banging business, but it’s there. Stephen Semple: It’s there and it helped you do it. Dave Young: You want the mug that I drink out of sometimes. Stephen Semple: Well, that’s it. That’s the way you should be selling them. You should be selling your dirty mugs. Dave Young: I test every mug. Very cool, Stephen. Thank you for bringing us the Shopify story. Stephen Semple: All right, thanks, David.

Thinking about starting a reselling business? Alexa shares the honest realities of the first year that most people never talk about, from sourcing inventory at thrift stores and bins to balancing motherhood, growing on YouTube, and learning what actually makes a resale business sustainable. In this episode of the Get Thrifty Podcast, Maggie sits down with Colorado reseller Alexa of Shop Style Cycle to discuss how she went from casually thrifting to building a full-time reselling business on eBay, Poshmark, and Depop. Alexa opens up about the mistakes, surprises, and lessons that shaped her first year, why transparency has become the foundation of her content, and how documenting her journey unexpectedly created a thriving YouTube channel.   GUEST HANDLES & RESOURCES YouTube: @shopstylecycle IG: @shopstylecycle TokTok: @shopstylecycle Poshmark closet: https://poshmark.com/closet/shopstylecycle   SHOW NOTES Why buying inventory just because it's cheap can hurt your resale business How sourcing from bins helps keep inventory costs low What it's really like balancing reselling with family life and motherhood Why sharing real profits, setbacks, and numbers helped build an engaged community How YouTube became an unexpected second income stream alongside reselling The reality of seasonal slowdowns and how new resellers can prepare for them Why consistency, research, and discipline matter more than chasing every thrift find

Why does fashion need posers? What is Ball Hog style? Should men wear loafers without socks? And why should every pair of suit trousers be high-waisted?Sol and Michael return to the Pair of Kings Podcast for a thesis-driven conversation about the people, money, taste and contradictions that keep modern fashion culture alive. The central argument: fashion scenes need “posers." In their definition, these are especially wealthy consumers willing to buy at retail, spend heavily in boutiques and clubs, and subsidize the spaces that more obsessive fashion fans enjoy through research, resale and secondhand shopping. The Pair of Kings Podcast explains how luxury shoppers and fashion “whales” keep independent stores, designer flagships, nightlife and cultural ecosystems operating; why trickle-down economics may only work in fashion; and how full-price purchases eventually become the Rick Owens, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons and archive-fashion deals that appear on Grailed, eBay, Yahoo Japan and friends-and-family sales.The episode also becomes a practical and highly opinionated men's fashion guide. Sol and Michael debate high-waisted suit trousers versus low-rise dress pants, whether men should tuck shirts into shorts, the few acceptable categories of men's shorts, office uniforms, golf style, Peter Millar polos, Lacoste, RLX, Robert Graham shirts and the strange power of Southern frat menswear. They answer some of menswear's most searched questions: Can men wear loafers without socks? Are no-show socks ever acceptable with dress shoes? What shoes work with a bright blue suit? Should blue suits be worn with brown shoes? How should tailored trousers fit? And why do high-rise pants usually create a stronger formalwear silhouette?Michael also explains Ball Hog style and Bradygoo, the emerging archive-fashion joke that combines loud, recognizable pieces associated with brands such as Number (N)ine, Dior Homme, Undercover, Maison Margiela and Saint Laurent. The cohosts trace how ironic internet aesthetics become real fashion movements, comparing Ball Hog to blokecore, gorpcore, dadcore and dark academia—and asking what happens when a niche meme becomes a sincere personal style.Elsewhere, the conversation moves through Rick Owens pod shorts, one-size tanks, Visconti pants and banana pants; Self Edge, Good Art and the customers who keep boutiques alive; Miu Miu activations, Awake New York and the difference between brands and stores with genuine taste; Cillian Murphy's Thomas Bird boots; Keira Knightley's repeated slouchy boots; Brad Pitt's Dior jeans; Jude Law, Seal and celebrity style uniforms; vintage band tees; and Michael's two fashion grails: a Rick Owens embroidered bomber and an original 1999 Slipknot self-titled T-shirt.In the spirit of the season's “integrated fashion” thesis, clothes are never isolated from the rest of life. Golf clothes become class signals, nightlife becomes fashion economics, celebrity press tours become lessons in personal uniform, vintage T-shirts become collecting culture, and movies, books and music become part of how people build taste. Sol and Michael also discuss why The Passion of the Christ plays like a 2000s torture-horror movie, Rick Owens sizing, The Holiday and the female gaze, actors who married their co-stars, Isaac Asimov's Foundation, summer's fashion-retail slowdown, leather-jacket weather, chivalry and the songs of the week.Questions answered in this episode include:- Why are posers necessary in fashion?- Who actually keeps luxury fashion stores alive?- What is Ball Hog fashion?- Is archive fashion becoming a costume?- Should men wear high-waisted trousers?- Can men wear loafers without socks?- Why are visible no-show socks so bad?- What color shoes go with a blue suit?- Why do rich people often dress badly?- How do designer clothes reach the resale market?- Is collecting vintage clothing pointless if you never wear it?- And what makes a fashion grail worth buying?We hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording!Lots of love,Sol#fashion #fashionpodcast #mensfashion #archivefashion #rickowensEpisode topics and tags: Pair of Kings Podcast, men's fashion podcast, menswear podcast, fashion podcast 2026, integrated fashion, fashion posers, luxury fashion economics, fashion whales, archive fashion, Ball Hog style, streetwear culture, men's formalwear, high-waisted trousers, high-rise suit pants, loafers without socks, no-show socks, blue suit brown shoes, office style, golf fashion, Peter Millar, Robert Graham, Rick Owens, Rick Owens Visconti pants, Balenciaga, Comme des Garçons, Dior Homme, Number (N)ine, Undercover, Maison Margiela, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Awake New York, Self Edge, Good Art, Grailed, Yahoo Japan, vintage T-shirts, Slipknot vintage tee, Cillian Murphy style, Thomas Bird boots, celebrity style, fashion grails, resale fashion, secondhand designer clothingSol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.
