Power, poise, and performance. From Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to Uber CEO Dara Khashrashari, Morning Brew Daily's had some strong leaders on the show who embody these ideals. For those leaders, there's the Range Rover Sport.

Good morning, Bird Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Meta heads to court to fight for its right to keep Instagram and WhatsApp.
Then Trump gave the electronics business a welcome reprieve from the most punitive tariffs. Only to clarify that, psych, it's going to be short-lived. It's Monday, April 14th. Let's ride.
Good morning, welcome back to the week. To kick off the show, we wanna give a huge shout out to our coworkers and incredible business creators, Macy Gilliam and Dan Toomey, who have been nominated for Webby Awards, aka the best of the internet. Dan was nominated for his hilarious Good Work series, which explores big questions like, what does Palantir actually do?
And is Zinn gonna kill me and the boys? Macy was nominated for her incredible video in which she worked as a New York City hot dog cart vendor for the day. You can head to the Webby website to vote or check out the Brew newsletter this morning for the direct links.
We sit next to these people every day and basically just hear them giggle to themselves as they cook up some of the funniest but also the most educational business content on the internet. But they also work extremely hard. I mean, Macy literally slept in a van on the street of New York for her hot dog video.
So if you're a fan of Morning Brew, go show them some love and help them bring home some hardware. Plus, if they don't win...
They're fired. All right. And now let's hear a word from our new sponsor, Planet Oat. Toby, you know how a good soundtrack can make an okay movie feel epic?
