That one meeting they found during the pandemic, it set the stage for their best leg of growth in company history.

Now, besties, we know all meetings can be annoying, remote or in person.

There are too many of them.

They get abused.

It's an easy corporate punchline joke.

But a single meeting consistently done with the right people at a smart time?

That's New Balance's $10 billion breakfast club.

Scrambled eggs beat swooshes.

For our second story, Ring's cute puppy commercial from the Super Bowl sparked a crisis on surveillance.

Basically, one cute puppy cost Amazon billions.

Amazon learned this critical lesson the hard way, but you can learn the same lesson the easy way.

Now, yetis, earlier this week, Jack and I discussed Budweiser's three Super Bowl commercials that were all really highly rated.

Well, Ring's Super Bowl commercial was poorly rated.

Yeah, so poorly rated it actually raised a billion dollars of value from Amazon stock.

The Super Bowl commercial highlighted a new feature on Ring called Search Party to help people find their lost dogs.

It was a cute puppy commercial starring a digital ring doorbell.

How did the commercial go, Jack?

One post of the dog's photo in the Ring app starts outdoor cameras looking for a match.

Search Party from Ring uses AI to help families find lost dogs.
