Apple just launched a brand-new laptop aimed directly at Chromebooks — the MacBook Neo, starting under $700. Is this Apple’s play to dominate the education market and lock in the next generation of users?

Then we’re joined by Cody Schneider to talk about one of the most important shifts happening in marketing right now: how operators are using Claude and AI systems to build better ads, analyze performance data, and create entirely new go-to-market workflows.

We’ll also break down some of the most interesting stories across commerce and culture this week:

• What’s really happening with Meta’s AI glasses and content moderation
• Is McDonald’s CEO content getting dragged… on purpose?
• Why livestream platform WhatNot is now selling fresh food
• Ross Stores beating expectations as consumers search for deals
• Why grocery prices are set to rise again in 2026

Plus we’re looking at some fascinating product and brand moments across the internet:

• The viral David Ice Cream brand
• Bulletproof Coffee + Creatine entering functional beverage territory
• Nike’s portable stadium kit concept
• And tools like Pocket that are redefining how we organize knowledge online.

If you’re building, operating, or investing in ecommerce, this show is designed to help you stay ahead of the ideas, technologies, and cultural shifts shaping the industry.
