New CEOs at Nike & Starbucks, New ‘Grit, Wit, & Fit’ on Shark Tank 09/20/24

A new shark has joined Shark Tank: Daniel Lubetzky. Years after founding Kind Snacks, Lubetzky discusses the lessons he’s sharing with entrepreneurs seeking investment and guidance. He says in his founders, he’s looking for grit, wit, and market fit. After the Fed’s 50 basis point interest rate cut, economist and Harvard Kennedy School professor Jason Furman weighs the central bank’s move alongside the economic plans from Vice President Harris and former President Trump. Plus, Nike CEO John Donahoe is being replaced by Elliott Hill in a surprise move, and at Starbucks, new CEO Brian Niccol has a more relaxed approach to hybrid work.
