💄 “$3 for life” — Elf’s sacred makeup. Peloton’s rowing revenge. Big Tech’s M&A R&D.

Peloton finally launched its new rowing machine… for $3,200… because “Health & Wellness” is now “Wealth & Wellness.” Elf Beauty will never change the price of its $3 lipstick because of Costco’s $1.50 hot dog deal. And in a 2-year period, Big Tech acquired 175 companies — because you need both a farm system and free agent signings. $ELF $PTON $AAPL $AMZN Follow The Best One Yet on Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok: @tboypod And now watch us on Youtube Want a Shoutout on the pod?

Apple didn’t invite us to its huge annual product event (again), but it all came down to our Takeaway: while tech is focused on virtual reality, Apple’s focused on real life. Instacart’s newest strategy to get you grocery shopping is celebrity orders, like the pre-filled cart for Lizzo’s fave cherry cobbler.
