🔥 “The Biggest Firing Since Steve Jobs”...

Nick & Jack Studios
About this episode

OpenAI shockingly fired the man responsible for its $90B valuation: Sam Altman — But 48 hours later, it’s scrambling to rehire him, because AI requires real intelligence.

The winner of the big Formula 1 race in Las Vegas wasn’t a car, it was a drink — Red Bull’s racing team turned a cost center into a profit center.

And The Gap’s stock just had its best day in its entire history, jumping 30% on Friday — And it’s all thanks to Old Navy (and their new Barbie CEO).
