Three business/markets stories plus quick news: Harvard’s “profit puppy” executive education, eBay’s all-time-high stock driven by specialization and “enthusiasm” metric, and “trickle-down AINomics” where big tech’s AI spending boosts suppliers and investors reward the spend.
No guests appear; hosts are Nick and Jack (podcast “T-Boy”).
Harvard executive education/non-degree certificates bring in $600M revenue (up 3x in 20 years), 9% of total revenue and 42% of tuition/fees; online certificates have 42,000 enrollees vs 2,000 full-time MBA. eBay thrives vs Amazon by focusing on specialty categories (e.g., trading cards, vintage cars) and using authentication; stock hit all-time high. Big tech AI CapEx (e.g., Microsoft $120B/year; Meta $100B) correlates with stock jumps because revenue growth outpaces spending.
Tyra Banks and Channing Tatum at Harvard exec programs; Beanie Babies drove early eBay; Chapel Roan wore pre-owned eBay at the Met Gala; eBay Live streaming auctions; Microsoft/Microsoft stock +10%, Meta +11%.

0:29This is Nick. This is Jack. longer fall into that category. You can feel the muscles moving. It's kind of a fun flex. Yeah, it is. We got three fantastic stories for you for today's show. Jack, what do we got on the team, boy? For our first story, as Harvard battles attacks from Trump, it's leaning more on its secret profit puppy, executive education. Because online courses are where the Ivy League crushes cash. For our second story, guess whose stock is at an all-time high right now? Who, Jack? eBay. eBay. The 29-year-old e-commerce pioneer is stronger than ever. It's the Tom Cruise of tech, Jack.
1:06Because eBay tracks a wild metric, enthusiasm. And our third and final story, Microsoft is spending enough money on AI data centers to buy every single team in the NBA. But every dollar they spend is a dollar someone else earns. So Jack and I will tell you about that someone else. But Yetis, before we hit that wonderful mix of stories, Fantastic mixes stories. Love the mix today, Jack. Figma had a record-setting IPO last week. An initial public offering. But here at T-Boy, we're about to announce something much bigger. An IBO. Initial baby offering. That's right, Yetis. Here's the news. Nick's family is expecting another child, their second baby.
1:52Well, our prospect is for a brand new little baby. And that baby is expected this quarter. We're going to have a Q3 kid, Jack. Big quarter for babies. I've known for a couple months. It's been hard to keep this a secret, but Nick was ready to share. So very excited for you guys. Oh, big moment, Jack. It's a big moment for you and Molly. You're basically, no, you're literally going to grow your family by 33%. True. We already have a two-year-old son. Little Maxie is going to be a big bro. I think he's finding out through this podcast right now, Jack. Now, Nick, all the Wall Street analysts want to know.
2:25Uh-huh. When is this baby hitting the markets? Well, Jack, the due date is in September, so it is coming up for those analysts. Is there a consensus analyst forecast on the gender? Jack, that is currently material non-public information. Got any leaks on the name at least? You know, we're in the name-storming process right now with the bankers, so comment with your ideas. We will take them into consideration. How short is the short list of names. We're big fans of two syllables. Yetis, this is T-Boy Family's fifth pod child coming. We're very excited. It is the fifth initial baby offering that we have covered on this show.
3:01Now, so far, it's all pod sons. True. Maybe we'll get our first pod daughter. Fingers crossed. We will update you when we know more, Yetis. Yetis, thank you for being there with us for all this exciting news. We can't wait for this IBO. Everyone's getting a share. Get to work on that bassinet. It doesn't assemble itself. I already texted a task rabbit. Jack, let's sit out. 15 years before this song, two boys from the Northeast met in the dorm. They had an idea to cause a cultural storm. It's the best one yet, but the best is the norm. Jack Nick, that's it. I don't even think they need to practice.
3:3650%, that's a fat tip. T-boy city on your at list. If you know, you know, cause we're here to go. We can't wait no more. So just start the show.
3:48Start the show. First, a quick word from our sponsor.
3:59IM8 Health. Yetis, you ever look in a mirror and think, hey, who is that? Why are they staring at me? Well, that's you, because it's a mirror. And before you start taking IM8, that's the kind of weird mistake they'd actually make. Wait, I definitely think IM8 is helping me, but I don't know if it makes me wonder who's looking at me in the mirror. Well, Jack, that is why we take IM8, the one daily supplement that supplies your whole supplement routine once and for all. IM8 has been fantastic because it replaces 16 supplements in one daily drink. Co-founded by David Beckham and built by leading doctors and researchers, 95 % of people who tried it for 12 weeks felt more energy.

5:04Monarch. Yeah, it is. You know my first money lesson? It was where to put our lemonade stand. I was wondering, it was on the Upper East Side. Do we do it on Lexington Avenue or Park Avenue? Wait a second. New York City has lemonade stands on the sidewalk? They didn't. We were pioneers, Jack. Lexington Avenue is more commercial. Park is more residential. So what did we learn, Jack? Families are willing to pay more for lemonade. So you set it up on Park. Yeah, we did it on Park. Besties, no one gives you financial lessons in life. You end up figuring most of it out as you grow up. But we love Monarch because it's like a financial advisor in your pocket.
5:32Because every minute, it's tracking your savings, spending, investments, and more. For instance, Monarch's goal tracking feature shows if you're on track for that summer trip to Santa Fe.

7:20For our first story, Harvard University's financials reveal the surprise business model of the Ivy League that nobody tells you about. Executive education and non-degree certificates bring in 42 % of Harvard's tuition revenue. Whoa, that is a big number. 42%. 42%. But yetis, right now, the headline news. America's oldest academic institution versus the Trump administration. It's the biggest cultural showdown of the year, and it's still ongoing. Billions of government funding have been halted to the school. The Trump administration alleges anti-Semitism at Harvard, but it's also demanding oversight of all the faculty that the university hires.
8:04And now, Bastie's Harvard, unlike some other Ivy League institutions, has resisted Trump's demands so far. But the lack of government funding puts pressure on Harvard's other funding sources. So we dove in T-boy style to their other funding sources. Jack, what happens to be the part of Harvard University that's the most profitable? It's not undergrads. No. It's not university merch. No. And it's not the Harvard versus Yale football game. No, no, no, no, no. Their profit puppy is actually a specific program at Harvard's graduate school. Executive education. Executive training, continuing education, both online and in person.
8:41Those are Harvard's real profit puppies. And they are printing crimson cash, baby. Last week, Bloomberg went deep with this headline. Executive education for non-traditional students brought in$600 million of revenue for Harvard last year. That is up 3x from 20 years ago. It now makes up 9 % of Harvard's total revenue and 42 % of tuition and fees. Oh, Jack, you just went full goodwill hunting on those numbers. And the reason this is a shocker is that this program is probably the least Harvard-y of Harvard's businesses. But interestingly, with Trump squeezing finances, the business-y part of Harvard has become more important than ever.
9:22Now, let's sprinkle on some context. The programs we're talking about are courses you can take at Harvard, but you don't end up with a degree at the end. You end up with a certificate. Some of these are one week retreats paid for by your company. And some of them are simply set up for celebrities. Tyra Banks took one of these. In fact, how many celebrities have you seen standing next to that Harvard business school sign to flex that they were like a guest lecturer or whatever? We see you, Channing Tatum. You already had 12 abs. Now you went to Harvard. Now, even though it's not a degree, you get a certificate instead, you still put it on your resume, don't you, Nick?
9:56But Jack, speaking of goodwill hunting, can we dive into the price numbers, please? The price of these certificates is around$10 ,000 per student, even though you're only on campus for a few days. And why is it a profit puppy, exactly? There is no financial aid for the senior vice president of Verizon. They're coming full tuition. Harvard charges full price. But Yetis, fascinatingly, it's not just the in-person Harvard courses we're talking about, it's also the online ones. You might have noticed the number of people listing the word Harvard in their education section of their LinkedIn is soaring.
10:30Because right now, Harvard Business School's online certificates have 42 ,000 people enrolled with them. Compare that to just 2 ,000 people for the full-time in-person MBA program. And you know what? It's not just Harvard cashing in on its cachet right now, is it, Jack? The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania built a campus in San Francisco, the other side of the country, just for this executive education. Yeah, Jack and I've been there. That's what it's mainly used for. Northwestern, their Kellogg School, they got 1 ,000 students in the full-time business school, 22 ,000 in continuing ed.
11:02So the ratio is like 20 to 1. For every one student there in person for the degree, there's 20 people, mostly online, getting the certificate. And honestly, pretty impressive, Jack, that they've scaled education to teach so many people about business, people who are ambitious and want to learn more. People who are investing in themselves to learn more, to do better at their job. But as we too have both noticed, being at business school, there is a tension here, right? Like a lot of full-time MBAs think expansion hurts the degree's reputation. LL Cool J brags about going to HBS, but he was there for a four-day course, Nick.
11:36At least write us a song about it, LL. Come on, man. So Jack wants the takeaway for our buddies who are everyone packing the cat, haven't you? Brands are like balloons. You can blow them up, but eventually they might pop. Yetis, what Harvard is really doing is something many luxury companies do. They're simply testing the limits of their brand. They're trying to find the balance between maximizing revenue and maintaining exclusivity. You see, Harvard, it's a luxury product. And we see luxury fashion doing this all the time. Ralph Lauren must be exclusive so that their core customers are willing to pay a high price.
12:11But Ralph Lauren actually has twice as many factory stores as it has regular stores. It's a similar model with Ivy League schools and their executive education programs. The schools are stretching the brand out like a balloon. Now, balloons are fragile and balloons can pop, but even luxury brands know they got to test the limits.
12:32For our second story, eBay, the oldest e-commerce tech company still in business, just hit an all-time high stock price. eBay has survived the Amazon era by thriving where Amazon doesn't. Okay, if we're going to talk eBay, I know you've been itching to tell us about this eBay story. What's going on? What have you been buying these days, dude? Two weeks from Saturday, I have a wedding where the dress code for men is bolo ties. So I found a bolo tie on eBay. And dude, it's got a tiger's eye, which is one of the coolest rocks. I used to be a rock collector. Jack, are you trying to steal attention away from the groom?
13:08They said bolo tie, so I'm just trying to fit in. Feels like a fit-in slash flex, but I like it, Jack. Yeah, it is eBay. It is the OG pioneer of e-commerce. And eBay actually became famous thanks to the Beanie Baby. Get this. At one point, 10 % of eBay transactions were for Beanie Baby stuffed toys. Bucky the Bieber was for sale for$492 on eBay. And that's how people discovered eBay in the 90s. But besties, eBay even owned iconic tech brands you still know and love today. Did you know that PayPal and StubHub were once eBay brands, but they got spun out and sold at some point? Well, next month, eBay turns 30 years old.
13:48So you would be shocked to hear that eBay's stock just hit an all-time high. Because when you think of eBay, you think pre-Y2K. It's an ancient company in tech years. And yet, the way we think of it, it's like the Tom Cruise of tech. It's 63 and crushing it. I'm sorry, Jack. Let me rephrase that. It's the Nicole Kidman of e-commerce. 58 years old doing her best work right now. Although. No although. No although, Jack. No although. And Bestie's one reason for this is because eBay is a trade war haven. Collector's items, pre-owned gems, those aren't subject to tariffs because they're getting shipped to you by some guy in Kansas.
14:24You can't tariff a beanie, baby. That's from 1998. But a bigger reason for eBay stock being up 50 % so far this year, it's specialization. Specialization. Because if eBay tried to be an online everything store like Amazon, it would just be squashed like a cardboard box. So instead, eBay is focused where Amazon isn't, in specialty categories. Pokemon cards, vintage cars, vintage car parts, even the trademark to FireFest, they've all been sold on eBay. eBay just announced that their trading cards didn't just experience growth, experienced growth acceleration for the 10th straight quarter. What about premium vintage?
15:04That's a booming category on eBay now as well. Chapel Roan was dressed from head to toe in pre-owned stuff she got on eBay at the Met Gala. But then eBay has gone further. They've now invested in technology for all these specialized areas. Yeah, they have security measures to authenticate high-ticket items and bring peace of mind to the buyer and seller. And eBay's gone even further than that. They've launched eBay Live to get into media. eBay will go to a collector's convention and bring up like a tiger's eye and sell it in a live auction that you can stream online. It's like antique roadshow, but it's streaming on eBay.
15:38The result? Amazon sells millions of versions of billions of things. eBay sells ones of a kind. Stick that on a pillow jack and sell it on eBay. So Jack, what's the takeaway for our buddies over at eBay? New metric alert. Enthusiasm. Yetis, at our live show the other week in Chicago, we noticed something about our audience. Relentless enthusiasm. Apparently, it's not just Yetis and besties, though. True. Because eBay actually uses the word enthusiasm as an official metric in their earnings reports. Like a tech financial metric. Get this. They've got 16 million enthusiastic buyers, which is defined as people who bought six things and spent$800 in the last six months.
16:24eBay's focus on specialization has attracted special customers who have particular loyalty. And that love has given eBay clearance to charge fees on track for$2 billion of profit just this year. eBay is the first company we've seen quantify enthusiasm. And that tells the story of the entire business model. I love you, Nicole Kidman. Now, a quick word from our sponsor. Indeed. Oh, we missed the deadline. My recording device is having issues. Our contractor pretended to be sick. I know he's watching the World Cup matches, Jack. Or how about this? Elon just tweeted something at 3 a.m. that completely changes the takeaway on our second story.

Every day your business is late to AI, you fall two days behind. Therefore, if you get ahead of AI, that means you're basically traveling two days into the future. I'm actually fact-checking that math with Christopher Nolan right now. Yeah, we got to double-check that.
18:12That is definitely how NetSuite next works, because the next leap in how business gets done is by sticking AI into everything you do. NetSuite by Oracle helps you do that. It automatically surfaces custom insights because their AI has the context of all your business data. AI agents work with you to solve daily problems, saving you time and money. And anytime you have a question, you just ask them like they're your colleagues. So besties, if you aren't sure how to use AI for your company, this is honestly the perfect place for you to start. NetSuite. And once you use it, it'll feel like time travel with Michael J.

Built for every industry, ready for every boardroom, netsuite.ai slash t-boy. For our third and final story, there's a strange phenomenon going on. The more big tech spends on AI, the more investors love them. And then there's trickle-down AINomics, because their spending is someone else's earning. And we'll tell you who's earning. But Jack, in order to describe this scene. Do you remember the movie from Father of the Bride when they're spending on the wedding and like he's getting the bill and it's like the flowers, the food, the open bar, all the costs are adding up?
19:28Yeah. What's that actor's name? He's a silver fox now. It was Steve Martin. It was Steve Martin. I feel like that was big tech's earnings theme last week. Get in the bill for the wedding. Except instead of being upset and nervous like Steve Martin. Investors are loving it. Yetis Last week, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, the biggie of the techies, each announced that they're spending insane amounts on AI. But it's interesting. Each of those big tech companies are buying data servers and investing in engineers with a different AI goal. Meta is focused on AI for consumers. Microsoft is focused on AI for businesses.
20:03Amazon is focused on AI for robotics. And Apple, are they doing the car? What's going on over there, guys? They're not doing the car. But strangely, the more and more these fantastic four companies spend on AI, the more and more they get rewarded by Wall Street. Microsoft spent$30 billion this past quarter on data servers to compute AI. Okay, Microsoft is on pace to spend$120 billion this year on all that AI stuff. With$120 billion in spending, Microsoft could have bought Nike. Or they could have bought all 30 NBA teams, Jack. We repeat, with Microsoft's budget to buy data servers this year, instead, they could buy all 30 NBA franchises.
20:45The whole league. Yeti's Microsoft is burning through cash like a data center with no cooling. And Wall Street is partying like it's a wedding with an open bar. Franz! But best is this is what we found fascinating about this story. Wall Street was loving every minute of it. Microsoft stock jumped 10 % after their earnings last week to hit a$4 trillion valuation for the first time ever. And then the same thing happened over at Meta. Yeah, Zuckerberg said he will spend$100 billion on capital expenditures for AI next year. He could buy all the NBA teams too. In Meta stock, it rose 11 % after that announcement.
21:24It's insane. Zuck said he's spending$100 billion, and then Wall Street increased the value of his company by almost$200 billion. And why is this illogicalness happening to us right now, Jack? Because even though the spending on CapEx is growing rapidly, revenue growth is growing even more rapidly. That's right. Despite all those splurges we mentioned, Meta and Microsoft also announced their best ever second quarter of profits ever. Meta's insane consumer tech apps and Microsoft's insane business tech apps are funding beyond insane spending on AI for the future. I guess Bill Gates is the father in this father and the bride.
22:05I see it. I see it, Jack. So what's the takeaway for our buddies who are everyone in big tech? Their spending is someone else's revenue. Yeti's the under-the-radar winners of this economy. It's the entire AI supply chain that you never think about. They're selling the shovels to the big tech companies who are doing the AI gold rush. Top of the list, the AI chip makers like AMD and NVIDIA. But all those chips have to go into servers, which are built by Supermicro Computer and Dell. But Jack, all those servers need utility lines and power plants, which are another booming sector related to AI. Besties, in the next year, the top five AI companies will spend$400 billion on capital expenditures.
22:48We have to sprinkle on some context here. Big tech is driving a literal economic stimulus with that money. Because$400 billion in spending, that's half the size of the 2009 recovery bill that Congress passed to get us out of the financial crisis. To boost the entire economy. We're talking five companies spending money on a level of like the entire United States government. And the result is what Jack and I call trickle-down AINomics. Their CapEx spending is someone else's earning.
23:21Jack, could you whip up the takeaways for us to kick off the week? Harvard University generates 42 % of its tuition and fees from non-degree executive education programs. The profit puppies. Brands, they are like balloons. You can blow them up, but they also can pop. For our second story, eBay stock is at an all-time high as they've specialized in places that Amazon won't touch. And it's turned customer enthusiasm into a metric that's also at an all-time high. And our third and final story, big tech is getting rewarded for all their AI splurging. The more they spend, the higher the stock price.
23:57And it's also an example of trickle-down AINomics. Their spending is someone else's revenue. But yetis, this pod's not over yet. Here's what else you need to know today. First, President Trump fired the Commissioner of Labor Statistics after a weak jobs report came out for July. Here's the data that Trump didn't like. The U.S. economy only added 106 ,000 jobs combined in the last three months. Which would be our worst three-month stretch in years, and President Trump didn't like seeing that. Now, the woman Trump fired was appointed by Joe Biden, and Trump said without evidence that she's been manipulating the data.
24:33It's troubling news that could make America look more like China, where the data looks more like propaganda. For our second story, if you have a Rolex watch on your Christmas list, you may not be getting it anymore. Yeah, Friday was tariff day, and President Trump shocked Switzerland with a 39 % tariff. It was bigger than most people expected. And yes, watch retailers have said that they will pass on watch tariffs into the prices that we pay. So for this Christmas, maybe it's more of like a buy now, half the watch for Christmas, half the watch for your birthday, pay later kind of a situation. And finally, the NFL and ESPN are on the verge of a blockbuster deal that would make Babe Ruth blush.
25:13ESPN would acquire the NFL Red Zone channel and the NFL Network. And then bundle both of those football channels into their ESPN streaming app. The official announcement is expected later this week, so we'll update you on the deets and let you know what happens to ESPN the Ocho. Now time for our best fact yet, which, because it's Monday, means T-Boy trivia. Jack, what do we got today? What product has been referenced in more rap songs than any other product? We repeat, this product has more name drops in rap than any other brand. Snoop name drops it. Nas name drops it. Jay-Z name drops it. Honestly, this product is the only thing Kendrick Lamar and Drake actually agree on.
25:56Here's a clue to the product we're referring to. We're actually going to do a fill in the blank. This is a lyric from a Tupac song. Forget that gin and juice, just pour me a glass of that blank. And here's a lyric from a Kendrick Lamar song. I used to sit blank with jealousy in my bones, trying to keep up, but I only got alone. So what is that blank? What is the most popular brand mentioned in rap? Drop an answer in the comments and we'll reveal it tomorrow. Yetis, you look fantastic today. And if you're a new listener, we'd love to hear from you. First, tap to follow the show so you get us every day, but then tap the survey that we have in today's episode description.
26:37We have a new listener survey that's going to always be in the show notes, and we'd love to learn more about you and how you found the show. It only takes two minutes. And if you don't know what an IBO is because you're new to the show, well... It's an initial baby offering. It's an initial baby offering. It's an initial baby offering. Jack and I will see you tomorrow.
26:58And before we go, a happy birthday to Yeti Emma Simonovsky from New York City, who's had an annual T-boy shout-out tradition for so many years now. Anna, fantastic to have you with us as a Yeti. Happy 30th birthday to Clarissa in San Diego, California. And Coach Weber's got the 10-year anniversary as the head wrestling coach in Erie, Kansas, getting them in that chukul. There you go, Coach. You know, I can still do a figure four leg lock from my WWF fan days. I think the lacrosse team's bigger than that, Jack. Congratulations to Brady Johnson for the promotion and relocation to Canada. This is a long-time Yeti who's converted so many people in the office to listen.
27:37Love those HYH-TVOIs. Oh, and besties, I'm heading to Santa Cruz for the first time this weekend. If anyone's got some recommendations, let us know. We'd love to add them to the list. And to anyone else who's celebrating something today, make it a T-boy. Celebrate the wins.
27:54This is Jack. I own stock at Amazon, and Nick and I both own stock at Apple. Nature raised farms. Yetis, you walk into the grocery store, excited to cross off your list. That empty shopping cart is an ocean of opportunity. Then you get to aisle six and it hits you. Oh boy. Choice paralysis. Yes, we whipped up takeaways about this on the pod. Too many options. It's like a game of chicken. Do I go with that chicken or that chicken? Yeah, the irony of having so many chickens to choose from, you cannot choose. This one's raised on a farm. This one's raised on a prairie. Is this range-free or cage-free?
28:23Choice paralysis of all these options. It makes us feel dumber. So nature-raised farms is built on the simple belief that food shouldn't be complicated. Especially chicken. Definitely shouldn't be complicated. But the freezer aisle, it makes it that way. Too many options, too many additives, a lot of random compromises. But Nature Raised Farms chicken is free from gluten, dairy, and soy. Made with no seed oils or artificial ingredients, you know what you're getting. So you can make a simple decision, get on with your day, without stressing about the chicken parm recipe. Because that recipe is really simple, and so should be your chicken.
