Soph is off having a well-deserved break in the woods this week (miss you Soph - plss come back soon đĽ˛). In her place, weâve got Emily stepping out from behind the camera and onto the mic, matcha in hand. And speaking of matcha⌠itâs officially having a moment. Sales have doubled, cafĂŠs are going green, and Gen Z is treating it like the new Aperol Spritz (but healthier, Instagrammable, and about 100 shades brighter). We chat about why little luxuries are booming, the economics behind the matcha craze, and what it tells us about shifting spending habits. Plus, Vic weighs in on Trumpâs latest visa drama, Nvidia and OpenAIâs eye-watering $100B deal, Pfizer muscling into the weight-loss drug race, and New Zealand smashing a glass ceiling with its first female central bank governor. Happy Monday everyone!
