This week, we kick things off with a 9am tequila shot for Lucy’s probation pass (completely normal workplace behaviour, obviously), before diving headfirst into the business of Coachella, where Justin Bieber’s payday, festival profits, and the money machine behind live music all get unpacked. We also get into the truly bizarre Allbirds plot twist as the struggling sneaker brand pivots into AI, plus what the rise in women-owned businesses says about work, wealth, and why more women are deciding to back themselves instead.

WTF does that mean? A guide to all the jargony bits:

Monopoly – One company dominates the market.

Convertible Loan – A loan that can turn into shares.

Share Price – Cost of one share.

Market Cap – Total value of a company.

Sell-Off – Lots of people selling shares fast.

Scalping – Buying tickets to resell for more.

Monetisation – How a business makes money.

Equity – Ownership in a company.
