1.) Harry, Meghan & 👑 Oprah: all eyes were on Harry & Meghan this past Monday night. The interview was explosive and insightful with no advance leaks. The royal family is dysfunctional…to say the least. Oprah is the master of interviewing. 17M+ viewers and Viacom’s old school distribution pipes doing their thang
2.) Holy Beeple: the digital artist sold a record breaking NFT at a Christie’s auction for $69M. It’s a JPG file. But it’s THE JPG file, you know? His Twitter reaction: “holy fuck.”
3.) Roblox IPO: metaverse candidate Roblox completed their direct listing on Wed into the public markets with shares jumping from $45 to >$65 by market close on Friday. Kids are playing it, Wall Street is loving it, and the digital transformation is accelerating y’all
4.) One Year Ago: March 11th, one year ago yesterday, the coronavirus pandemic exploded and changed our lives forever. Tom & Rita got it down under, the NBA shut down, and the WHO declared a pandemic. We’re still at home, millions have died, yet there is a twinkle of light around the corner as we head toward Independence Day. We’re gonna beat this thing!
