Morning Brew
About this episode

Episode 541: Neal and Toby chat about how Forever 21, once a pioneer of fast-fashion, couldn’t keep up with the likes of Shein and Temu as it files for its 2nd bankruptcy. Then, PepsiCo places a $2B bet on Poppi, the trendy prebiotic soda brand. Also, more and more Americans are turning to ChatGPT as their low-cost personal therapists, but even ChatGPT can experience anxiety from traumatic prompts. Meanwhile, Toby examines the trend of ‘vibecoding’ where users can build sophisticated apps with zero coding experience and an idea.
