Yetis, the 3 biggest forces in business in 2025? Trump, AI, & Affordability. For more on that? Look at every other newsletter, podcast, and social media post of every day this year.
But instead, we found the 3 biggest “pop-biz” themes of 2025: Maxxing, robots, & kale collar workers.
1. “Everything Maxxing”… From Protein Maxxing to Tariff Maxxing to the Casino Economy.
2. “Robots got Promoted”… Waymos, Blue Collar Bots, and laundry-folding humanoids.
3. “Kale Collar Workers”… Ambitious Zillennials cut Slop Bowls, but embraced Thriftonomics.

Watch the interview on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/eyS-eokvP-U
Everyone laughed when Jesse and Emily Cole said they were going to save baseball by turning it into a circus. The traditionalists said it was a mockery. The investors said it wouldn't scale. Babe Ruth woulda blushed.
But today, while the Red Sox and Yankees yawn in the dugout, the Savannah Bananas are selling out those very same stadiums… while on stilts.
In this episode, we sit down with the husband-and-wife co-founders to uncover how they turned a struggling startup - with so much debt they had to sell their house - into a viral phenomenon with a waitlist of over 1 million people.
We dive deep into their "Fans First" business model, why they refuse to take VCmoney, and how "burning the boring" let them create a new sport and disrupt a 100-year-old industry.
They even got engaged in the middle of a (rainy) baseball game.
