Transcript

Pepsi just bought Poppy for almost $2,000,000,000. I have a lot of questions including what will the gut health girlies who drink like a Poppy a day now do that Pepsi owns them? Will they switch to Olipop? Will they just keep on drinking it? I mean, lots of questions tier, but my biggest question is how much did Alex Earl make from this deal? Alex is not just a fan of Poppy or even a brand partner of Poppy. She's literally an investor in Poppy. No one knows how much she's put into Poppy, but she stands to make a significant amount of money from this and the timing is so funny given this whole like Alex Earl dropped by Alex Cooper's unwell worse. I personally think that this was the narrative driven by the worse. I don't think she was actually dropped. I think it was a mutual parting of ways. I think they were both unhappy. Either way, Alex Earl now being a potential billionaire, I mean sorry millionaire, there's no way she's a billionaire. No. Potentially making millions just from this investment is super crazy and smart and also like she's one to watch as a as a fledgling investor. She just invested in the Margarita brand last week. Anyway, Alex Earl, Poppy Entrepreneur. If anybody has any insight or like knowledge, let me know because I'm so curious.
