The podcast episode I enjoyed most:

HOW I BUILT THIS with Guy Raz – Stacy’s Pita Chips: Stacy Madison

In the 1990s, Stacy Madison and her boyfriend Mark Andrus were selling pita sandwiches from a converted hot dog cart in Boston. They decided to bake the leftover pita into chips, adding a dash of parmesan or cinnamon-sugar. At first, they handed them out for free but soon discovered that people were happy to pay for them.

So they eventually decided to leave the sandwich cart behind and launch Stacy’s Pita Chips. They hoped the brand might grow into a modest regional business—but it kept growing. Roughly ten years after the launch, Stacy’s sold to PepsiCo for $250 million.

The video I enjoyed the most:

The Adventures of Lil’ Vee by Gary Vaynerchuk. This little cartoon should be included in every school, even for adults this will be so helpful. It is only 14min long. A ton of value! Cannot wait for the next episodes. Thanks, Garry Vee for creating this series.
