DUDE Wipes Dominates NASCAR at Pocono Raceway
When the DUDE brain trust heard a NASCAR driver whose nickname is DiBurrito was looking for a new lead sponsor, we knew we had to get a spot at the starting line.
After some great conversations with the Go Fas Racing team, we signed on to be the primary sponsor for the No. 32 Ford driven by rising-star Matt DiBenedetto at the Gander Outdoors 400 at Pocono Raceway. It turns out Matt had seen the DUDES when we appeared on Shark Tank and both he and his wife were recent converts to the DUDE Wipe...

How Netflix’s “Black Box” Shortchanges Content Creators
By Alpha Networks
By all accounts, Netflix’s Stranger Things has been a smash hit, bordering on a cultural phenomenon. The show has received near unanimous praise by critics and immense hype on social media.

Blockchain Powered Audience Measurement Could Challenge Nielsen TV Ratings
Blockchain Powered Audience Measurement Could Challenge Nielsen TV Ratings
By AlphaNetworks

How Phil Knight Beat the FBI and US Customs to Take Nike Public
The Bank of California had had enough, and now the FBI was getting involved.

How to Make Millions Selling Garbage Bananas
Samuel Zemurray just waltzed into a board of directors meeting of United Fruit, one of the largest companies in the history of civilization, and told everyone they were fired. They had no idea what he was talking about.

Struggling Death Metal Musician Goes from Living Out of a Tour Van to Viral Video Sensation
Meet David. He’s a death metal musician.
He had been living what he thought was every musician’s dream: touring the country playing in a band with his friends.
But there was a problem.
He HATED life on the road.
After playing his ass off at a gig, he’d have to drive 4 hours on dark, lonely roads to the next one.
