Morning Brew
About this episode

Episode 387: Neal and Toby chat about the big executive change between two powerhouse companies with Starbucks stealing Chipotle’s CEO. Can the new guy turn the coffee shop around? Then, a wind turbine blade falls and washes up ashore in Nantucket that sets the wind energy business in a tailspin. Next, Indonesia is nearing its costly relocation of its capital, but not without many challenges along the way. Also, job hunters are using AI to find jobs but are running into a big problem…AI. Meanwhile, food brands are looking for partnerships that are way outside their comfort zone, hoping consumers are as adventurous as they are. Lastly, a retro resurgence of cassette tapes powered by Gen Z.
