📈 CEO Social → Sales: Kristin van Laren, head of Marketing at Peridio, broke down her CEO's social media success ($970k this quarter). My favorite part? Her CEO still writes and posts himself, but they've established a rhythm. How do you think he's doing? |

👶 This Week in Brand Backlash™️: May I present - Frida Baby. I love their snot sucker (daycare germs are real), but turns out their packaging and social have been… suggestive ("how about a quickie?", "I get turned on easily,"). WTAF 🤮 . We’ll give them credit for a lengthly press response, but it lacks any commitments to change in the future. The moms are mad. |

🎨 The Vibe Mindset: Lovable's Vibe Code Engineer went on Lenny's Podcast to get us all in the right mindset before next week's session. The key takeaway: taste and judgment reign supreme.(Apple / Spotify / YouTube) |

🏅 Olympics + pressure: Heavily hyped US athletes are having uncharacteristic flops. Is the media over-pressuring them, or is it just standard Olympic pressure? |

👑 One to go: I purposefully didn't send you that viral AI article last week, but I like this response from queen Anne Helen Peterson more. |
