This week’s Pirate Street Journal episode covered three topics that, on the surface, seem unrelated: the SpaceX IPO and its acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, the rise of plug-in solar panels for everyday consumers, and KFC’s ambitious brand overhaul. But at the end, each story carries a deeper lesson about how categories are born, how they grow, and what separates winners from everyone else. The Pirate Street Journal is a business show with a simple but provocative premise: the Wall Street Journal does not know how business really works. Not because its journalists are incompetent, but because mainstream business media obsesses over companies, products, and technologies while almost completely ignoring market categories. Hosted by Christopher Lochhead alongside Eddie and Bri, the show takes three major business stories each week and examines them through the category design lens. The result is a sharper, more useful read on what is actually happening in the economy and why it matters. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. SpaceX Did Not Just Buy a Startup, It Bought a Category SpaceX went public last Friday, and by Tuesday it had become one of the five most valuable companies in America, surpassing Amazon with a market cap of roughly $2.5 trillion. Days later, SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor, an AI coding startup founded by four MIT students in 2022, for $60 billion in stock. Cursor had been valued at around $29 billion just months earlier, so SpaceX effectively paid double almost overnight. Most coverage focused on the eye-popping price tag and the fact that Cursor has roughly 20 employees. But Christopher argues that framing misses the point entirely. SpaceX did not make a consolidation play, where a company in a mature market acquires a competitor to cut costs and grab market share. This was an acceleration play. What SpaceX purchased was the category king position in a brand new and rapidly growing software category: AI tools for building software with AI. Cursor’s founder called it a new type of software, and he meant it. SpaceX, which already owns the bottom of the AI infrastructure stack through its Colossus supercomputer and orbital data center ambitions, just bought its way into the top of that stack through applications. Plug-In Solar Is Not a Green Hobby, It Is a New Category Forming in Real Time Over a million households in Germany have installed plug-in solar panels that hang from a balcony and connect directly to a wall outlet in under an hour. Each unit is capped at around 800 watts and costs roughly $500. In states like California and Hawaii, where electricity runs 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt-hour, the panels pay for themselves in three years or less. Nine US states have already legalized the technology, with more than 20 others working on similar legislation. Eddie points out that traditional rooftop solar remained a luxury product because of permitting costs and installation complexity. Stripping those barriers away creates a fundamentally different category: distributed, consumer-owned power sold at Costco prices. The real power here is the network effect. One household with solar panels feeding back into the grid is a novelty. One million households doing it is a functioning power plant. Ten million changes the entire economics of the American grid, reduces peak demand costs, and buys the country time while large-scale nuclear and orbital solar infrastructure are developed. As Christopher notes, when a category is designed to produce radical abundance and includes a network effect, the compounding impact becomes truly transformational. KFC Is Trying a New Look, But the Real Problem Is the Category Model Underneath KFC operates more than 3,600 locations in the United States, which is actually more than Chick-fil-A. And yet Chick-fil-A generates roughly $7.5 million per store each year while KFC pulls in under $2 million, despite being closed every Sunday. KFC’s response is a sweeping rebrand: new sauces, a boba and shakes drink line, immersive restaurant screens, a new logo, and a redesigned loyalty program. Eddie explains that the three things that actually drive success in quick service restaurants are beverages, speed of service, and the drive-through. Some of KFC’s moves make sense on the beverage side, since margins on drinks are far higher than on food. But expanding the menu risks slowing down service, which undermines the entire premise of the category. The deeper issue is structural. KFC is owned by Yum Brands, which for years co-located KFC with Taco Bell, confusing both the consumer and the category. Chick-fil-A, by contrast, is private, has an extraordinarily selective operator model, and charges just $10,000 for a franchise because it is looking for missionaries rather than mercenaries. That ownership clarity and cultural alignment is what produces four times the revenue per store, and no amount of boba or new signage is likely to close that gap without addressing what is happening underneath the brand.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.16) In this episode, we’re cracking open a wild mix of neighborhood drama, fast-food shakeups, safety reminders, and viral pop-culture chaos. First, residents in an Encino neighborhood say they are fed up with suspicious activity at a nearby home they believe may be used by influencers and content creators filming for OnlyFans. Neighbors claim they have seen scantily clad women in the front yard, litter in the streets, and alcohol cans left behind — including BuzzBallz, the viral ready-to-drink cocktails packing 15% alcohol with flavors like Lotta Colada. Then it’s time for our Fast-Food Update. KFC is rolling out a massive global revamp with a focus on boneless chicken, more than 20 new sauces, next-generation restaurant designs, and a modernized Colonel Sanders logo. The famous red chicken buckets are getting a fresh new look as KFC tries to bring chicken closer to its chicken-loving peers. We also talk about a simple but serious safety reminder: stop wearing all black when walking around after sunset. It may look cool, but it can be extremely dangerous for drivers trying to see pedestrians at night. Next, we break down the big Pizza Hut business shakeup, with reports of Yum! Brands selling Pizza Hut in major transactions. As restaurant prices keep climbing, one thing is clear: pizza is not as affordable as it used to be. And finally, why are kids between 10 and 20 being called the “Lime Generation”? Gen Z and Gen Alpha are colliding with memes, viral aesthetics, Skittles colors, and internet culture. Plus, the Knicks are dominating the tattoo space as emotional fans turn big sports moments into permanent ink.

Suben ligeramente futuros sobre índices de Bolsa USA. Los rendimientos de los bonos y precios del petróleo extienden caídas de la víspera. Se ha evitado la guerra entre EEUU e Irán: ¿y ahora qué? Es la pregunta que se hacen participantes en los mercados. De momento, en ellos se sigue tomando riesgo. Apenas una semana después de su peor jornada en seis años, el índice de semiconductores vuelve a alcanzar máximos históricos. Tensión geopolítica se modera, confianza inversora mejora (buen ZEW en Alemania). Hablamos de ello con José Basagoiti, de Trading Pro. Preguntamos por esa resolución del conflicto. Si puede ser catalizador para una rotación sectorial y geográfica a favor de los segmentos más castigados. Tiramos también por OPVs ¿son eventos de liquidez sistémicos o simplemente hitos de valoración de compañías concretas? La operación corporativa del día la protagoniza Yum Brands. Vende Pizza Hut por 2.700 millones de dólares. En clave internacional, pendientes de lo que salga de la Cumbre del G7. En Bolsa española, Indra, BBVA y Acciona son los mejores valores Ibex. Telefónica y Acciona Energías, con descuentos de dividendo, los peores. Y a ver si funciona la nueva Directiva de insolvencia de la UE. Nos lo cuenta Manuel Gordillo, socio de Abencys.
Der DAX rettet nach einer frühen Erleichterungsrally nur ein kleines Plus ins Ziel: +0,1 % auf 24.910 Punkte. Nach der vorläufigen Vereinbarung zwischen den USA und dem Iran stieg der Leitindex zunächst bis auf 25.110 Punkte, doch am Nachmittag kam wieder Vorsicht auf. Die Anleger fragen sich, ob aus dem Rahmenabkommen wirklich ein belastbarer Friedensvertrag wird. Der Ölpreis reagiert deutlich: Brent fällt um rund 5 % auf unter 79 USD. Gold legt dagegen 0,8 % auf 4.341 USD zu. Bei den Einzelwerten spricht General Motors mit Lockheed Martin über Rüstungszulieferungen. ver.di startet bei der Postbank eine Urabstimmung über unbefristete Streiks. Yum Brands verkauft Pizza Hut für 2,7 Mrd. USD. Brenntag verliert nach einer Abstufung 1,8 %. Die Commerzbank-Aktie fällt unter den Preis der UniCredit-Offerte. Rheinmetall zeigt neue Drohnensysteme, und in China brechen die Autoverkäufe im Mai um 22 % ein. Und zum Schluss die Börsenweisheit des Tages. Sie kommt von Philip A. Fisher: "Der Aktienmarkt ist voller Menschen, die den Preis von allem kennen, aber den Wert von nichts."

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including McDonald's new corporate strategy, the World Cup's plentiful promotions, and how brands are strategically leveraging pricing in their marketing. First up is McDonald's, which announced its new McDonald's Next corporate strategy that emphasizes operational efficiency and hospitality. Alicia details what exactly this means before she and Sam discuss how the strategy fits into the broader industry push toward operational excellence and what it could look like for the No. 1 restaurant brand in the world. Next they dive into the World Cup, which kicks off this week and could be a boon to restaurant companies looking for a marketing win. Learn more about how some bigger chains are riding the World Cup's coattails — and how it could help reshape the summer for many brands. That leads naturally into a conversation on recent restaurant marketing efforts — particularly those centered around pricing. Alicia recently wrote a story about how restaurants are marketing to families through strategic pricing initiatives, and she and Sam talk about pricing in general and how companies are getting creative with their prices to attract young consumers. Finally, in the Quick Fire portion of the episode, Sam and Alicia discuss recent headlines about the retirement of Yum Brands' influential COO, the struggles at Shake Shack, and the new THC beverage test at Logan's Roadhouse.For more on these stories:McDonald's next evolution includes menu, service and technology upgradesRestaurant chains kick off a World Cup marketing barrageRestaurant chains are turning their attention to families
Hosted by Michelle Martin, this episode explores Meta’s push into AI-powered business agents. We unpack Morgan Stanley’s bullish call on Yum Brands, the parent of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. We also examine reports that Singapore could face a 12.5% US tariff following a forced labour trade probe, alongside the Trump administration’s latest efforts to revive its tariff agenda after legal setbacks. In Up or Down, in focus are Indonesian markets, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming, Macy’s and Broadcom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
McDonald's is going for the goal. Shake Shack is somewhat less optimistic. And Yum Brand is losing a top exec.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Wendy's hiring a new CEO, Starbucks ditching an AI tool, and CAVA cruising in the first quarter. First up is Wendy's, which announced that it was hiring former Potbelly CEO Bob Wright as its next CEO. Wright had three previous stints as an executive at Wendy's, and Sam and Alicia discuss how this move could be the missing ingredient to Wendy's badly needed turnaround. Next they tackle Starbucks, which is ditching an AI inventory tool it had introduced just nine months ago after experiencing accuracy issues. In a world where AI seems to be taking over all aspects of our lives, it's noteworthy that Starbucks joins McDonald's, Yum Brands, and others in pausing investments in AI. Sam and Alicia break down the news and what it could mean about AI in restaurants going forward. They then discuss CAVA and its most recent quarter, in which the fast-casual Mediterranean chain reported 9.7% same-store sales growth. How does the brand continue to defy odds and build momentum? Finally, in the Quick Fire portion of the episode, Sam and Alicia discuss recent headlines about movie promotions and an international brand that's exiting the U.S.For more on these stories:Bob Wright returns to Wendy's as its CEO Starbucks is ending its use of AI to count inventoryCAVA raises guidance after a strong 1Q

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Ashley Herd, HR and legal leader turned management coach, and author of The Manager Method. Ashley has led HR and legal teams at organizations like McKinsey and Yum Brands, and she brings a refreshingly real-talk approach to the challenges every manager faces, especially those quiet moments of self-doubt that come with growing responsibility. In this conversation, you'll hear Ashley's take on why imposter feelings are so common among thoughtful leaders, and how her concept of the "career quilt" reframes even the most uncomfortable professional experiences. She introduces her simple but powerful Pause, Consider, Act framework, which is a practical tool for navigating tough management moments without reacting on instinct. You'll also hear how the language we use about people shapes the way we lead them, why delegation is harder than it looks, and how accountability can be reframed as a positive force on your team. Ashley even shares how Pause, Consider, Act has made her a better parent. If you're looking for a grounded, practical guide to leading people well (without burning yourself out) this episode is for you! Sound Bites "We all have our career quilts. And sometimes those are different, like different jobs, actual different experiences like that." "I felt very much like the other at McKinsey." "When you open up and show that you are real, you tend to gain the trust and respect that you're so afraid you'll lose if you do that." "People don't care that you know the message. They want to hear the message for themselves." "What would I want to have happen to me if I were in the other person's shoes?" "A rolling stone gathers stress, not moss." "Just thinking about the people that are doing a lot of the work, how you treat them and talk with and about them? That can shape a lot of the outcomes." "Tasks can quietly become symbols of our value." "When you treat your people well, they are a better parent, friend, relative."

Picking a use case, proving value, and expanding has been the standard starting point for enterprise AI. For organizations early in their AI journey, that advice still holds. But for large enterprises that are past the pilot stage and trying to scale across business units, geographies, and brands, it isn't enough.At NVIDIA GTC, Cameron Davies, Chief Data Officer of Yum Brands, shared how his team is thinking about AI differently — and why they had to. With 63,000 restaurant locations, 100 million daily transactions, and 1,500 franchisees across 155 countries, Yum operates at a scale where a single bad AI decision can fail loudly, repeatedly, and fast.In this episode, Maribel breaks down Davies' framework and what it means for how enterprise leaders should be thinking about AI in 2026 and beyond.---**What you'll learn**- Why the use case as a unit of AI planning has a structural limitation at enterprise scale- What "scalable AI skills" means and why it's different from building agents for specific use cases- Why governance has to come before deployment, not after — and what happens when it doesn't- How measurement functions as operational discipline, not just a reporting obligation- What Yum's AI flywheel looks like and why it only works if measurement is continuous- What this framework means for organizations that aren't Yum-sizedAbout Cameron DaviesCameron Davies is the Chief Data Officer at Yum Brands, the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and The Habit Burger Grill. He leads the company's corporate data and analytics strategy and oversees the development and adoption of advanced data capabilities.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Kevin Hochman, president and CEO of Brinker International, parent company to Chili's Grill & Bar. Chili's has been the buzziest restaurant chain of the past two or three years, having recorded 19 consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth with help from value deals like its $10.99 3 for Me and viral videos like its mozzarella stick cheese pull. That success took off when Kevin joined Brinker in 2022 and implemented a turnaround plan that focused first on operational improvements and then on effective marketing to drive customers into the newly improved stores. Sam recently sat down with Kevin in a Dallas area Chili's for an episode of the Signature Series, powered by The Coca-Cola Company; this is part one of that interview, where they cover Kevin's career in the lead-up to Chili's and in particular the lessons that he picked up working for two iconic American institutions: Procter & Gamble and Yum Brands. Next week we'll share part two, where they get in the weeds on how Kevin and his team have transformed Chili's into the hottest thing going in foodservice.In this conversation, you'll find out why:You're never a finished productClear communication is critical to executing with excellenceThe answers are in the room, you just have to listen and ask the right questionsBrands have a DNA and personality that you can't lose sight ofIf you do the right thing for the business, no matter the ROI, you'll win in the long termHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

Send us Fan MailMost hiring failures do not start in the interview.They start much earlier, when the role is poorly defined, success is unclear, candidates are not given the right context, and managers inherit a process that was never built to set anyone up to succeed.In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Herd, former employment lawyer, HR executive at McKinsey and Yum Brands, and author of The Manager Method, to break down where hiring really goes wrong and what leaders need to fix before they open their next search.We get into why most job descriptions fail to define success, how bad hiring decisions are often design failures rather than selection failures, and why the candidate experience so often promises one environment while the job delivers another. Ashley also shares her “tight jeans vs oversized sweatpants” framework for management, and we unpack what structured autonomy actually looks like in practice.We also go deep on onboarding, executive failure, the role HR should play versus the role it often gets left with, and the question more leaders need to ask now: should this role even exist in the form we are hiring for?If you hire, lead, or build teams, this conversation will change how you think about role design, interviewing, onboarding, and management. In this episode, Ashley Herd joins me to unpack why so many hiring decisions go wrong long before a candidate enters the process.We explore the real root of hiring failure: poorly defined roles, vague success criteria, copy-paste job descriptions, and interview processes that generate very little signal. Ashley explains why most organisations are still hiring for tasks and years of experience instead of outcomes, future context, and the behaviours that actually drive success. We also get into one of the most useful frameworks from the conversation: tight jeans vs oversized sweatpants management. Tight jeans managers over-control. Oversized sweatpants managers create ambiguity. The goal is somewhere in the middle: structured autonomy. We cover:Why most hiring failures are really role-design failuresWhat job descriptions miss when they describe activity instead of successWhy unstructured interviews produce weak hiring decisionsHow candidates are often sold one environment and dropped into anotherWhy hiring should be treated as the first phase of onboardingWhy executive hires fail faster and more often than most leaders realiseHow to think about AI when redefining roles and headcountWhy hiring works best as a partnership between HR and the businessKey ideas from the episodeMost jobs are defined too loosely to hire well againstSuccess should be defined at 90 days, 6 months, and beyondThe interview process should reflect the real working environmentManagers need guidance, not just responsibilityIf you do not define the role properly up front, the failure cascades laterFollow Ashley Herd: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyherdGet The Manager Method: https://www.managermethod.com/book Follow Konstanty Sliwowski on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/sliwowskik/For more insights check out www.schoolofhiring.com and newsletter.schoolofhiring.com

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Chipotle's negative sales year, Taco Bell's ongoing dominance, and the incredible growth in snacks. First up is Chipotle, which last week reported that its same-store sales declined 1.7% in 2025. CEO Scott Boatwright introduced a “Recipe for Growth” plan that has five steps to get the brand back in black, but the company also issued guidance for the year that shows it expects sales to be flat. Sam and Alicia discuss the unsurprising results and whether they think Chipotle's plan for growth — which includes increased usage of limited-time offers and demonstrating the brand's value proposition — will help reverse its fortunes. Next up is Yum Brands, which had mostly good results: Taco Bell continues to dominate in the QSR category, with its same-store sales up 7% in the latest quarter and evidence that it's taking market share from just about every other corner of the restaurant industry. Meanwhile, KFC enjoyed 1% growth — signs, perhaps, that its turnaround plan is working. Sam and Alicia discuss those positive results, but also dig into the myriad issues over at Pizza Hut, which saw sales decline last year and plans to close 250 units in the first half of this year. Finally, the editors turn their attention to snacks, which are enjoying a renaissance across the restaurant space and could drive continued disruption at brands big and small.For more on these stories:Chipotle unveils plan to ‘accelerate growth' after another negative quarterTaco Bell is taking market share from just about everywherePizza Hut is closing 250 U.S. locations in the first half of 2026

Ein erneut sehr uneinheitliches und zurückhaltendes Bild an der Wall Street, mit den seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Quartalszahlen im Fokus. Wir sehen überwiegend negative Reaktionen, mit AMD, Chipotle, Clorox, Mondelez, Stanley Black & Decker und Yum Brands unter Druck. Uber tendierte nach den verfehlten Ertragszahlen und Ertragsaussichten zunächst bis zu 10 Prozent schwächer, konnte die Verluste vorbörslich aber aufholen. Während Novo Nordisk die Aussichten senken musste, läuft das Business bei Eli Lilly um so besser. Dort wurden die Aussichten stark angehoben. Die Aktien von Enphase Energy gehören mit einem Kurssprung von 23 Prozent zu den größten Tagesgewinnern. Hier lagen die Quartalszahlen ebenfalls solide über den Zielen. Heute Abend gibt es einige Highlights, mit den Ergebnissen von ARM, Google und Qualcomm. Was die Wirtschaft betrifft, scheint der Arbeitsmarkt im Januar abzukühlen.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Shannon Hennessy, the CEO of Habit Burger & Grill. The California-based better-burger chain has grown to nearly 400 locations over its 56 years and now, with help from parent company Yum Brands, is plotting coast to coast growth. Shannon joined Habit Burger from sister chain KFC back in 2022 and took over as CEO in 2023, and she's overseeing the strategy to “double charge growth.” On the heels of Habit's Q3 earnings, which showed system sales up 3% and positive same-store sales and traffic, Shannon joined the podcast to talk about creating a fresh experience at Habit Burger as part of that growth, and about how making changes today as a restaurant leader is different even than it was just three to five years ago.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Your customers have their own unique definition of valueScaling your business requires strength in new areasThe labor line on your P&L should be seen as an investment, not an expenseYou don't have the luxury of time with brand changes — but you need to be patient with results Restaurant leaders of today must be better gamblers Your corporate and restaurant employees must be aligned as one teamHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

Big brands, bold bets, and billion-dollar questions. Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang unpack Yum Brands’ plan to potentially sell Pizza Hut after a strong quarter led by Taco Bell and KFC. Plus, a check-in on Aramco, Pfizer, Spotify, and SIA Engineering’s earnings - who’s up, who’s down? Then, a look at Singapore’s new $1 billion wellness attraction, the Khoon Group sanctions fallout, and why Norway’s wealth fund is saying no to Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar pay deal. Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti discuss how frequently 10% market pullback occurs. Third quarter earnings are indicating a divided economy. Federal Reserve signals December rate cut are not a foregone conclusion. Slump in cardboard sales is stoking fears of lackluster holiday shopping. Yum Brands will review strategic options for Pizza Hut, opening the door for a sale. First Brands' new management accuses founder Patrick James of fraud.
Smart, heart and courage. That has been the way-he-leads elevator pitch for Greg Creed who proves you don't have to be a hard-charging tyrant to win — you can build billion-dollar brands by being human. In this episode, Greg tells Ryan how leading Taco Bell and later Yum! Brands was never about perfect plans or rigid control — it was about creating a culture where people felt safe to try things. Greg explains why he would rather see a team make a decision and adjust than freeze in place, and why vulnerability from the person at the top unlocks real trust. He shares stories from the road — taking big swings, laughing through the chaos, and refusing to let fear run the room. As you'll soon learn, Greg's story is proof that real leadership isn't about control — it's about creating the conditions for courage to thrive.
Yum Brands has acquired 13 PDQ restaurant leases in a quest for expansion. Starbucks is bringing back apple crisp after all. And Chick-fil-A has opened a delivery-only kitchen in Boston.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Yum Brands' C-suite shake-up, RaceTrac's Potbelly acquisition, and concerning data on inflation and jobs. First up is Yum Brands, which announced a shake-up of the C-suite that included adding a new title for Taco Bell CEO Sean Tresvant plus the exit of chief digital and technology officer Joe Park. What does this mean for the biggest restaurant company in the world — especially after Taco Bell recently had such high-profile issues with its AI ordering tech? Next they talk about the surprising acquisition of Potbelly by convenience store chain RaceTrac. Sam and Alicia weigh in on what this means from a competition standpoint — more and more C-stores are competing with fresh foodservice — plus what it could mean for the broader M&A landscape. Then they talk about new data showing weak job growth plus rising inflation, particularly among full-service restaurants. Can we make any conclusions about these numbers and where they suggest the industry is going? Sam and Alicia discuss. Finally, we share a conversation between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and WOWorks' vice president of culinary, Cole Thompson.

Several Louisville companies are led by CEOs that have chosen not to live in Louisville.But how much that matters seems to be up for debate — and we chat about that on this week's Access Louisville podcast.LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on this week's show to talk about an in-depth report that he just finished on CEOs leading Louisville companies from somewhere else. Humana Inc., Yum Brands and Papa Johns International Inc. are a few big examples, but there are others as well. For the story, Stinnett talked to executives who said that not having the CEO present can impact both the community and the workplace culture.“When company leaders reside here, things get done,” including building stadiums, zoos, parks and so on, John Schnatter, former CEO of Papa Johns International Inc. told Stinnett. Others, such as Scott Catlett, formerly chief legal officer at Yum Brands Inc., spoke about how it can impact morale inside the workplace.On the other side of the issue, we heard from local executives like Trever Pawl, head of the Louisville Economic Development Alliance, who said the Louisville companies that have CEOs based elsewhere are among the largest and best-run in the world.‘We're just fortunate to have the global companies here that are reinvesting the way they are at a pretty rapid pace.”Also on this week's showLater in the show, Stinnett tells us about a new bourbon development coming to Broadway. Von Payne Spirits is planning to open a “Gothic-inspired” distillery and tasting room inside the former Whiteside's Bakery Co. building at 1400 W. Broadway, according to a news release. We also chat about the Courier Journal recently announcing plans to move out of its building. The news outlet's longtime home on Broadway is still for sale, however.Additionally, we discuss Bourbon & Beyond — one of two music festivals planned in Louisville in September (the other being Louder Than Life). Danny Wimmer Presents, the company behind those festivals recently struck an interesting deal with University of Louisville Athletics, which we talk about on the show.

Likefolio's Landon Swan walks through consumer sentiment data on Yum! Brands (YUM), the parent company of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut & others. “Taco Bell is the one that's leading,” Landon notes, but his data notes some weakness in customer visits, giving him pause. “The bar's going to be a bit high,” as far as analyst expectations, he thinks. Landon argues investors should focus on Yum!'s international expansion rather than the Taco Bell franchise as KFC sees success in China.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
