The Best One Yet
⛳ “FOOOORE” — LIV’s golf miss. Storage Unit Millionaires. QVC’s final deal. +Pro Coffee Snobs
•
LIV Golf is reportedly shutting down… sportswashing failed, so Saudi Arabia’s pivoting.
Storage Units are America’s hottest real estate… but are getting banned by NIMBYs #StorageShaming
QVC invented “shoppertainment” but is declaring bankruptcy… because it missed Netflix’s DVD 101 class in business school.
Plus, there’s a secret team of Pro Coffee Tasters… hidden inside the NY Stock Exchange.
