Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Match Group (ticker: MTCH), a company that operates as part of a duopoly in online dating, owning a number of dating platforms, including Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid, and more, with specialized platforms appealing to certain demographics and dating niches. During the Pandemic, the company was a popular growth stock, but as the number of paying users at Tinder has declined, the business has stagnated, and the market has punished it severely. Yet, the company is still quite profitable, yielding a seemingly attractive valuation. In this episode, you'll learn about the unique business behind online dating, why Match is having trouble resonating with Gen Z, how large the TAM is for online dating, the most important things the company is focusing on to reinvigorate Tinder, why Hinge may be the future of Match Group and online dating, and whether Match Group is attractively priced, plus so much more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN: 00:00 – Intro 07:24 - What advantages Match Group has in its favor as the world's largest online-dating company 29:05 - About Match's origin story as a spinoff and its executive turnover 35:59 - The biggest structural challenges weighing on Match Group's growth 44:44 - Why the senior dating market may be a growth engine for Match Group 46:50 - How Match Group operates and competes as part of a duopoly with Bumble 47:19 - Why investors are so weary of the online dating industry 01:03:18 - How to think about modeling MTCH's intrinsic value 01:07:28 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add MTCH to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

In a city like New York, thousands of restaurants line every block, and we often wrestle with deciding where to eat. Trending hotspots promise the world, but do they deliver or just sell an overpriced photo op? And that $94 steak, are we tasting flavor or paying for the hype? Carly and Madison of SisterSnacking are spilling the tea on the hottest NYC eats (and yes, they call out a few spots for being totally overrated). They uncover hidden gems in every borough, reveal insider hacks, and share secrets that change the way you eat in New York forever. The gals become honorary sisters for the day, asking all of their burning food questions and learning a few new things along the way (like what a momo is). Danielle's heart takes a hit when the sisters label a few of her favorite spots ‘overrated,' while Brooke discovers which lines are truly worth the wait, or worth hiring someone to tackle.

There's a reason pose reels and tiktoks exist - a lot of us don't know what to do with our hands. Even more uncomfortable? Shooting a campaign for Ulta or taking off (most of) your clothes for a boudoir shoot. Getting in front of the camera isn't easy for a lot of us. The reality is, nobody is scrutinizing your pics as hard as you are, but it's still uncomfortable even though a lot of our lives are pictures on the internet. We get into what our experiences were like and how we've dealt with the discomfort that happens when we're immediately in front of a lens. Follow us on Instagram @imuncomfortable.podcast

Dolce Glow, founded by celebrity tanning artist Isabel Alysa, is a clean, luxury self-tanning line that blends beauty with wellness. Isabel's journey began with her own confidence boost after her first spray tan, which inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others feel radiant in their skin.

In 2021, she launched Dolce Glow, which has since expanded into Nordstrom, Ulta, and QVC. Most recently, she introduced Sunnee BaeSkin in 2025—a skincare-first tanning line infused with marine-powered ingredients and designed to be more accessible to a younger audience. Beyond her brands, Isabel created the Dolce Glow & Grow Summit to mentor and empower aspiring beauty entrepreneurs.

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahncke break down Ferrari (ticker: RACE), a company whose stock is arguably just as impressive as its high-performance and ultra-luxury vehicles. By global automotive standards, Ferrari hardly has any sales volumes, selling about 14,000 cars a year, yet these vehicles come with such premium price tags that the company can reasonably command a $90 billion market valuation still. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 09:27 - Why Ferrari obsesses over keeping supply below demand. 11:45 - Why Ferrari is more like Hérmes than Porsche. 16:27 - Ferrari's response to the hybrid and EV movements. 30:35 - What makes Ferrari special amongst even other ultra-luxury vehicle makers. 33:53 - What it actually takes to buy a Ferrari, and how Ferrari chooses its customers. 42:40 - How Ferrari has created a long-term ownership culture amongst its clients, similar to the mindset among shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway. 48:05 - How to think about modeling RACE's intrinsic value. 57:45 - The creative ways Ferrari has leveraged its IP to sell cars at higher and higher prices. 01:04:28 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add RACE to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio. *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

The beauty industry had an eventful summer marked by changing retailer strategies, stark revenue tumbles and a flurry of pricey acquisitions. In this special episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, reporters Lexy Lebsack, Emily Jensen and Sara Spruch-Feiner walk through the stories that defined the season. This includes strategy shifts within retailers like Sephora, Ulta Beauty and Target, plus a look at disappointing revenue at conglomerates Shiseido and Estée Lauder Companies. The team also discusses the biggest acquisitions of the season — including Rhode, Dr. Squatch, Space NK and Touchland — and the tariff-related topics we're watching as fall approaches. To start (0:53), Glossy's beauty team digs into the industry's biggest summer investments, led by E.l.f. Beauty's May purchase of Hailey Bieber's Rhode for $1 billion. The team also walks through CPG company Church & Dwight's $700 million purchase of trendy hand sanitizer brand Touchland in May and Unilever's June purchase of digitally-native men's care brand Dr. Squatch for $1.5 billion. Beauty's top specialty retailers also had big summers. Sephora (8:37) is leaning deeper into a tried-and-true brand launch playbook: the celebrity artist. In the past few weeks, the retailer has rolled out new lines from celebrity makeup artists Hung Vanngo and Mary Phillips, plus hairstylist Chris McMillian.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley dive into Crocs, the footwear company that turned a ridiculed foam clog into a global fashion phenomenon. After a post-IPO collapse and years of overextension, Crocs has staged one of the most impressive brand comebacks in recent retail history — now fueled by strong margins, loyal customers, and bold international expansion. But there are still some challenges and risks. The HEYDUDE acquisition wasn't successful yet, and the turnaround will still take time, and there are still reasonable doubts around the sustainability of the growth and fashion relevance of Crocs. In this episode, Shawn and Daniel unpack what's driving Crocs' profitability, why its turnaround worked, and whether its Asia strategy could be the next big unlock. They break down the brand's unique mix of comfort and cultural cachet, the economics of Jibbitz and limited-edition drops, and how Gen Z's shift toward athleisure might power a decade of demand. Along the way, they explore whether Crocs is a misunderstood compounder or a hype-driven value trap — and where the stock could go in a bull, bear, and base-case scenario. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 04:59 – How Crocs was founded 13:38 – Why Crocs almost went bankrupt in 2008 and how it survived 25:44 – What started the second hype cycle 28:35 – What its highly customized designs mean from a business perspective 32:57 – What role social media plays in Crocs' success 41:31 – How the HEYDUDE acquisition hurt Crocs' business 50:28 – About Crocs' international strategy 01:04:23 – Whether Crocs is attractively valued at its current levels 01:09:18 – Whether Shawn & Daniel add CROX to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Shawn O'Malley and Daniel Mahnke break down Lululemon (ticker: LULU), an iconic brand famous for pioneering the now ubiquitous athleisure industry. Lululemon has a fiercely loyal customer base, with industry-leading rates of repeat customers, sales per square foot of retail space, and very little need for discounting, if any. In this episode, you'll learn about why the market has soured on this powerful brand, despite incredible success growing internationally, leaving its P/E ratio at a relatively low 15-16x. You'll also learn about how Lululemon controls all of its touchpoints with customers, selling primarily DTC, as opposed to wholesale like Nike and Adidas do, as well as whether LULU is attractively valued today, plus so much more! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 04:23 - Why Lululemon has such a cult-like following. 07:19 - What makes Lululemon products so special. 15:41 - How new competitors are challenging Lululemon on the margins. 20:59 - How the future of Lululemon may be defined by China and menswear. 26:48 - Why the setup for LULU stock may be even more attractive than Nike. 53:48 - What to know about possible yellow flags with the business, like its declining inventory turnover ratio and expanding cash conversion cycle. 01:01:57 - Why the company's acquisition of the sports-tech hardware company, Mirror, failed so miserably. 01:07:15 - How to think about modeling LULU's intrinsic value. 01:16:16 - Whether Shawn and Daniel add LULU to their Intrinsic Value Portfolio. *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Growth Roadmap: coltivar.comMajor moves and market momentum in this week's top financial stories, including:Producer Prices Pop to a 3-Year HighBessent's Bold Push for Big Fed CutsFast-Casual Chains Lose Their SizzleSouthwest Ends Open Seating, and a StrategyAmazon Doubles Down on Grocery DominationUlta and Target Break Up the Beauty AisleFinWeekly has the latest updates on market-shaping headlines and business strategy insights: July's Producer Price Index surprised markets, jumping 0.9% month-over-month, the fastest core gain in over three years. With consumer prices also running hot, inflation may be reaccelerating just as the Fed prepares to cut rates. Businesses are already feeling the squeeze and may pass higher costs to consumers, setting up a tricky fall for policymakers.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is urging the Fed to move faster, calling for a half-point cut in September and 150 basis points total over the coming months. That's well below market expectations and adds even more weight to Powell's August 22 Jackson Hole speech.In the restaurant world, Cava, Sweetgreen, and Chipotle all posted disappointing Q2 results as lunch traffic cooled and budget-conscious customers pulled back. It's a reminder that even cult-favorite brands aren't immune to a consumer slowdown.Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines is ending its decades-old open seating policy, trading boarding speed and customer loyalty for assigned-seat upsells, a shift that could erode one of its core strategic advantages.Amazon is pushing deeper into grocery with same-day fresh delivery in 1,000 cities this year and 2,300 by the end of 2025, a direct challenge to an industry built on razor-thin margins.And in retail, Ulta Beauty and Target will end their shop-in-shop partnership by August 2026, with Ulta focusing on standalone growth and Target looking to fill the beauty gap through private-label and new brand partnerships.Tune in for strategic insight, smart commentary, and the financial context you need to lead in a changing world — only on FinWeekly._______________________________________Disclaimer:BYFIQ, LLC is a wholly owned entity of Coltivar Group, LLC.

Daniel & Shawn dive into Remitly, the digital remittance platform aiming to disrupt a $2 trillion global market. After years of prioritizing customer acquisition and corridor expansion over profits, Remitly is now approaching a critical inflection point, one where scale, margin leverage, and cash generation could unlock a new phase of investor confidence. But there are risks as well: crypto-native challengers, regulatory uncertainty, and broader concerns about the remittance industry all raise the question of whether the upside is worth the risk. Here, they unpack Remitly's moat, including its direct payout network, risk engine, and customer trust, and assess whether these factors are enough to fend off cheaper, faster payment rails, such as stablecoins. They walk through the company's unit economics and what the valuation model implies under both steady-state and high-growth scenarios. Along the way, they compare Remitly's customer lock-in strategy to Booking.com, examine the remittance corridor dynamics in India, the Philippines, and Latin America, and debate whether this is a misunderstood fintech with enduring staying power or a product ripe for crypto disruption. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 – Intro 01:08 – How the remittance market works 01:50 – Why Western Union struggles to compete with Remitly 02:16 – Why and how Remitly was founded 04:48 – What risks Remitly faces 05:01 – How stablecoins could disrupt the remittance industry 11:34 – What competitive advantages Remitly has 17:16 – What digital-first companies compete with Remitly 24:37 – Why scale is everything in the payments sector 27:56 – Whether Remitly is attractively valued at its current levels 29:27 – Whether Shawn & Daniel add RELY to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1113: Today we cover Amazon's push into used car sales, Rivian's legal battle to sell direct in Ohio, and Ikea's first-ever retail partnership with Best Buy. Show Notes with links:Amazon Autos now includes used and certified pre-owned vehicles. Starting in Los Angeles with Hyundai dealers, the program will soon roll out to more cities nationwide.Hyundai dealers can now list used and CPO cars, including non-Hyundai models.Vehicles come with a 3-day/300-mile return policy and a 30-day/1,000-mile warranty.Amazon promises transparent pricing, history reports, and no hidden fees.Customers can browse inventory within 75 miles and schedule test drives online.Amazon's Fan Jin: “This move continues our commitment to support local dealerships, now connecting dealers with more prospective customers online across new, certified pre-owned, and used vehicle categories.”Todd Caputo on LinkedIn: “Amazon sells purchases — not just eyeballs, phone calls, and form fills. Most dealers still make car buying way harder than it has to be. Amazon won't.”Rivian is taking Ohio to court, arguing the state's 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer sales is unconstitutional — especially since Tesla was granted a carve-out to sell under the very same law.Tesla was allowed to operate three Ohio stores under a special exemption.Rivian already runs service centers in the state but must sell cars elsewhere and deliver them in.Rivian says the law shields franchised dealers and seeks an injunction to stop enforcement of the banRivian's filing states: “It reduces competition, decreases consumer choice and drives up consumer costs and inconvenience — all of which harm consumers — with literally no countervailing benefit.”For the first time ever, Ikea is teaming up with another retailer — and the partner is Best Buy. The collaboration will bring mini Ikea showrooms into electronics stores, starting with kitchens and laundry setups.The first 10 hubs launch this fall in Florida and Texas, averaging 1,000 square feet each.Customers can shop Ikea furnishings paired with Best Buy appliances and get design consultations.Two locations will serve as Ikea order pickup centers, expanding fulfillment options.The partnership mirrors Target's Ulta and Kohl's Sephora mini-stores — aiming for “one-stop home solutions.”Ikea COO Rob Olson: “This new partnership is really allowing us to bring the Ikea experience closer to where people live.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Lance reviews the Big News from the weekend, the trade accord between the US and the European Union, and previews the data that will drive markets this week: PCE report and a Fed meeting on tap. What will move markets? Commentary on the non-impact of Tariffs: Markets have already priced-in any change, as markets adapt. What the Fed says about QT/QE will matter. Lance shares another family drama episode, with retail therapy and a "people-cott" on Ulta make up. There is no reason to be overly bearish on markets for now; more people are calling for correction now (which means it will only be delayed further) as markets grind higher.

Daniel Mahncke and Shawn O'Malley dive into PayPal's post-pandemic reset, tracing the fintech pioneer's slide from market darling to value-story candidate. Once lifted by lockdown spending and eBay tailwinds, PayPal has seen its growth stall, its take-rate decline, and investors seem to have given up on it. In this episode, Shawn and Daniel unpack whether new CEO Alex Chriss's “profitable growth” playbook, Fastlane one-click checkout, a margin-focused Braintree overhaul, and fresh bets on Ads and the PYUSD stablecoin, can restore momentum. They also debate how realistic PayPal's ambitious goals for the future are, what a sustained 6% share shrink via buybacks does for long-term EPS, how the new management team is incentivized, and whether PayPal's consumer moat still matters in an Apple-Pay world. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 - Intro 04:38 - How PayPal became the No.1 payment provider and what the PayPal Mafia is. 09:47 - Why investors fell out of love with PayPal's stock. 14:03 - What the next chapter under the new CEO will look like. 26:42 - Which new businesses could make PayPal dramatically more profitable? 33:31 - How the new strategy shows up in the numbers. 50:06 - Why the management incentive structure is a big benefit for shareholders. 51:36 - Whether stablecoins are bearish or bullish for PayPal. 01:01:11 - Whether PayPal is attractively valued at its current levels. 01:10:05 - Whether Shawn & Daniel add PYPL to The Intrinsic Value Portfolio.

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away, and instead of honoring the rock legend, some pro-Palestine activists used the moment to smear him. Meanwhile, liberal media is melting down over Stephen Colbert's show possibly ending — with commentators like Sunny Hostin seriously claiming it's a “threat to democracy.” Dave Portnoy is also making waves after absolutely unloading on New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who makes TikToks with celebrities instead of meeting with serious business leaders like Kevin O'Leary. We also dive into major immigration news as ICE ramps up arrests of violent criminals, while 20 states are suing to block taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. And yes, the trans madness continues. Ulta unveils its latest trans spokesperson, and Lily Tino's viral moments keep fueling the fire. There are rumors swirling about who Candace Owens might bring on next — and let's just say, it could be explosive. SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!
