From Bodega Cats to Barbie Dreams

From Bodega Cats to Barbie Dreams

This week we unplug to reconnect: Gen Z is ghosting smartphones in favor of MP3 players, flip phones, and digital cameras—because what’s old is suddenly minimalist chic. Then, we meet the real gatekeepers of New York convenience stores: Bodega Cats. Plus, a woman in Pennsylvania accidentally gives away her $2.5 million lottery ticket—stuffed in a jacket donated to charity. And finally, we celebrate the man behind Barbie, Hot Wheels, and an empire of plastic dreams—Elliott Handler, founder of Mattel, is our Business Birthday. We’re all business. Except when we’re not.
