Reddit… it’s the most important company in social media right now, because it’s the most different. It’s the 5th most visited website in America, the internet’s front page, and the most valuable source of content to train artificial intelligence (Sam Altman pays *them*). They’ve got a partnership with OpenAI… yet the content is anti-AI. And co-founder / CEO Steve Huffman runs the most real company in tech right now… and he's a classically-trained ballroom dancer.

In this interview episode, you’ll hear…

• How ballroom dancing is like running a company.
• The invention of the upvote/downvote.
• Reddit’s version of judicial, legislative, and executive branch.
• How the CEO of reddit decides when to ban an account.
• How AI models train by reading reddit.
• Should Reddit rebrand to “Real”?

Beanie Babies — the unassuming critters with birthdates and bios — are designed to tug on your heartstrings (and your wallet). But for a moment in the late-90s, they burst out of gift shops and into investment portfolios as America went crazy over Legs the Frog, Pinchers the Lobster, and the rest of the plushie pals.Behind this bean-stuffed market bubble hid a mysterious salesman with a chip on his shoulder named Ty Warner (the P.T. Barnum of Plush), who masterminded limited drops, direct-to-retail strategies, and internet virality before any of those things had names.

With plastic pellets and perceived scarcity, Ty built an empire worth billions that stands to this day. But there wasn't such a happy ending for most speculators when the market turned from (Snort the) bull to (Brownie the) bear, wiping out millions.

Find out how Beanie Babies helped launch eBay, why you should never trade your Bucky the Beaver for a cupcake, and why Beanie Babies is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.
