Why is the WNBA so hot right now?
The WNBA’s 2024 season comes on the heels of a recent groundswell of interest in women’s basketball. Last year was the WNBA’s most-watched regular season in over two decades and the recently wrapped NCAA tournament has brought a new generation of fans to the sport. The women’s March Madness final averaged 18.7 million viewers, while the men’s final averaged just 14.82 million viewers. Basically, the WNBA is a hot commodity and brands are noticing. Fast Company Staff Editor AJ Hess joined us to explain how this happened and why the stakes for the WNBA are so high this season.
Then, in a bit of a role reversal, Josh played the interviewer and asked Yaz about her latest reporting on Oprah. It covered Weight Watchers, diet culture, and our favorite topic on this show, GLP-1s. The impetus for Yaz's article was a Weight Watchers event last week in New York where Oprah was speaking. Yaz explained what happened and what it means for the future of the company.

The workday is poorly designed

We take for granted the standard 40-hour, 5-day workweek, but this structured schedule was implemented to suit a very different reality than most of us work and live in today. In recent years, the 4-day workweek has gained attention. But that kind of restructuring seems to leave many with more logistical questions than answers: What about parents trying to match a school schedule, or sleep-depr...

Why so many of us feel lonely at work

Leaders have tried to sell work as ‘one big family’ for years. With the proliferation of terms like ‘office besties’ and ‘work spouses,’ many employees have viewed work as a type of family too. But anyone who has been passed over for a promotion they deserved or laid off after years of hard work knows the hard truth: Work isn’t your family. In fact, work can make people feel lonely by preventin...

Even as the nature of work changes and innovations transform our jobs, the hiring process feels stuck in the same biased, ineffective rut.

Minimum wage increases for fast food workers and Lyft drivers

Fast food workers in California are seeing an increase in their paychecks. This is because of a recent minimum wage law that went into effect earlier this month.

Opponents of the law say it will lead to layoffs and store c...

He’s so chill it’s awesome
I find it interesting that while she is promoting a documentary on her lifes success in Basketball she is also promoting transgender females playing in women's sports. Does this mean that she doesn't really care about the women trying to make a career in basketball going forward, and is she just interested in her own success? Pretty hypocritical!
she`s very beautiful. They put a beautiful face on a CTO position to seduce us
FYI u have that jene Saia quote in other words u are my aphrodisiac ❤❤❤
It causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Mira👏👏👏👏👏
It’s supposed to show how thin the product is ;-; and maybe how versitile it can be
It means all that stuff is compressed into the ipad. Shut the fuck up, you people are annoying
Why she dressed like a man?
The Day I Got Microchipped More like...The Day I Sold My Soul To The Beast
It causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. Revelation 13:18
you're always gonna be that guy with the shits! amazing
his passion for everything he does is so inspiring
he’s so cool

You are trying to be offended. You are what is wrong with the society
He isn't offended, you're just confused
@@MidnightKLP sure, try to gaslight me more, morals of people these days is crazy
The reactions to this ad are the dumbest things ever
To save 3 mins 35 seconds for you on a clickbait-y untruthful video: The Era of DTC Brands is NOT over. VC-funded growth focused DTC brands are struggling but self-funded, healthy and slower growth (with good profit) become more popular nowadays.
I love you so much candace ❤😍💫🔥

Lauren Conrad is a complete inspiration and an amazing role model! I absolutely love her fashion and think she’s freaking amazing. I totally look up to her and admire her decisions. Thank you for sharing your story, Lauren <3!!!
So basically she wants to turn adidas into one big cluster f*ck, like everything else they touch
Congratulations, Candace! Well deserved! The women’s game has always been marketable. People are just now catching up.

Is there a reason celebrities always arrive at alcohol at some point in their career? Must be something we're not privy to.
So glad Candace Parker retired. She has done nothing for the WNBA's popularity. If it was up to her, the WNBA would still have the same old type of ratings -- POOR. Out with the old, in comes the new (more feminine women)
@2:46 saying no not having to explain yourself? Pretty sure thats not how the corporate worlds works when you have to answer to stakeholders

That was a brilliant ad that separates the forward-thinking people and the backward-thinking people. Apple's target market for their new iPad is those who love to do creative things digitally -- that is the future. Sure, it might anger a bunch of technophobes, but they weren't likely to buy an iPad to begin with. So no (or little) loss there. I, for one, find it amazing that the iPad can do so much more than I thought it can do. Definitely gonna get myself one.
Congratulations Candace!!! You will be missed but never will we forget you
Congratulations on the smooth transition and good luck with your future endeavors.
Do you think the double-close timeline will be extended a little? Also are you going to explain the installment contract over time? In your opinion, how well do you think the installment contract method will be received on both sides of the deal? This was a very informative video. To me , it means it's time for another pivot in strategy. Thanks Jerry.
CANDACE, YOU SIMPLY GORGEOUS. LOVE YOU ❤❤❤ AWESOME PLAYER AND BUSINESS WOMAN.
Douche
Okay, im just gonna say it. Whether this commercial was offensive or not, it’s not that great. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but this advertisement did not make me want to buy an iPad, instead it gave off a slightly negative and weird feeling that leaves you thinking “…what did I just watch???” By the time it’s over. It felt slightly dystopian and ominous. The only way it even remotely relates to an iPad is when they show one at the end. It felt like I was being forced watching Apple attempt to make a piece of art that just felt soulless and empty and tonedeaf just like the entire billion dollar company. It FEELS like it was made by the personification of an out of touch billion dollar company. It felt like they were sending a threatening message directed to nobody. I’ve seen people defend this ad like “wELL THIS GENERATIONS JUST SENSITIVEE”, but it’s still a worthless ad that says nothing and you don’t have to defend them to your grave, they’re a rich company, they can handle a small controversy that will last for 3 or more weeks. I don’t know what they were thinking when hearing out ideas for their new marketing move, but I want to know why they took the idea “let’s make an advertisement where we line up a bunch of expensive items that represent creativity and fun and crush them with no context” seriously. I’m pretty sure this was just a stunt to get people to talk about them. If they wanted to show how strong their IPad was, couldn’t they have done it in a way people would take seriously??
And…..mission accomplished. This is what iconic art does, it makes you feel and think. That’s it. That’s its job. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s what all artist learn in school, including myself.
wow
I loved the commercial. I got to many things. The idea of just keeping things that are necessary is liberating.

This won’t work…the marketing effort she is doing is counter to the WNBA which is leaning into femininity and this is leaning into masculinity. Which is not what sells in the market place. Not my personal opinion just noting the shift.
This is a boss move. Good for her!
